Booked a private room for two people, so I don't know about the dorms, but anyway, YHA always the best. The kitchen was massive ans clean, the staff very kind and the bathrooms super clean. The hostel it's in the town centre, in front of a big mall so it's even super easy to do groceries. They have a free billiard too! Really an amazing stay.

Absolutely best hostel I've stayed. Central location, Squeaky clean amenities and right across the street from Cairns Central Shopping Centre. But the staff are the real stars of this show. From cleaners and maintenance guys were great. The front desk dynamic duo of Johanna and Katie were always friendly, helpful went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. Thanks everyone, your kindness and generosity did not go unnoticed.
