gilligan's exceeded my expectations. a heaven for backpackers, with spacious dorms, awesome location, free drinks, and discounts at the bar. great place to meet others and enjoy live events. overall, a fantastic experience.

Noisy nightclub above dorms.

Affordable rates; near the marina wharf

Can hear the party music all the way to the room

I liked the hostel also the swimming pool

gilligan's exceeded my expectations during this relaxed couple of days in cairns. clean rooms, handy facilities, and friendly reception made it the best hostel i've stayed in. would definitely book again!

Faulty air conditioner.

The best city hostel I have ever stayed in, clean rooms, clean facilities- great staff. Fantastic location, in the middle of everything. Everything to do here – especially party! Huge bar and club and swimming pool. Tour desk offered everything if you can tear yourself away from here.

Friendly Staff, fun location and relaxing pool.

Comfortable beds, fresh markers on Fridays to Sundays, short walk to main attractions. Discounts for guests at the nightclub and for food. Early check-in allows use of facilities.

The hostel was extremely clean and the beds were really comfy just what we needed after 3 months work on the farm.

Party ... Snorkeling tour

Music load when we try sleeping

This budget hotel is conveniently located close to shops, a large nightclub, and everything the city has to offer. The rooms are clean and nicely designed. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The swimming pool area is outstanding, providing a perfect spot to relax and cool off after exploring the city.

The beds could be more comfortable, with some guests mentioning that they were actually two single beds pushed together with an uncomfortable lump in the center.

atmosphere and the bar. pool area was nice as well. reasonble price wifi and it worked well.

Didnt get to go to the sane room with my friends. i was in a dirty room and air con didnt work so i didnt have a good stay. also i have never seen as horribly slow kitchen stove. it was shocking

Cheap

Sharing with mixed sex. Lack of respect by other residents whilst within dorms.

Great location, amazing vibes, helpful and friendly staff, clean room with ensuite bathroom and balcony, fantastic pool/bar area.

Not one thing.
