    The location was perfect, and we loved having air conditioning in our bedroom. The entertainment options, like the TV room and free BBQ, were a great bonus. The staff, especially Laura, were cute and were really nice too make us feel at home. We also appreciated the free access to a nearby gym. we had a fantastic experience.

    One drawback was that our room had a lingering smell of sweaty clothes. It was difficult to air out the room and get rid of the odor.

    The hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. Its central location is a major plus, as it is conveniently close to supermarkets, the lagoon, bus stops, and even a skate park. The staff provides excellent service and the basic amenities are in place. The rooms are cosy and the beds are very comfortable. Additionally, the hotel offers daily cleaning, good discounts on food, gym, and activities. The communal area is a great place to hang out.

    The bathrooms could be cleaner.

    This hotel offers great value for money, with prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail is evident throughout the establishment, from the well-maintained rooms with double beds to the basic amenities provided. The central location is a major plus, as it is close to the markets, central station, and supermarket, making it convenient for exploring the city and picking up any essentials you may need. The friendly and attentive staff go above and beyond, ensuring a pleasant stay for their guests. And let's not forget the delicious breakfast with fluffy pancakes to start your day off right.

    The only minor flaw I could find was the occasional noise from the bar, but given that my room was on the second floor, it wasn't too bothersome.

    I had a great stay at a hostel in Cairns. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They even organized a free BBQ for all the guests when I arrived. The bar at the back was a nice place to relax and socialize. The location was also perfect, close to the markets and not far from all the attractions. The private room I stayed in was clean and well-maintained, with both aircon and a fan. The added bonus was having a sink in the room to clean up. The free breakfast and gym access were also nice touches. The Wi-Fi was reliable, important for staying connected. I would highly recommend this hostel for a nice and enjoyable stay in Cairns.

    I loved the location of this hotel, it was right in the centre of town and close enough to supermarkets. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a great bar and pool to enjoy. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus and staff were always friendly and helpful.

    No complaints.

    I recently stayed at Mad Monkey Central for a few nights on a trip to Cairns. The free breakfast was a standout feature, with a variety of delicious options like juice, bread, and pancakes. The 4 beds room layout provided plenty of privacy, and I appreciated the locker and two plugs for each bed. The hostel's location was convenient, and the outdoor seating area with large wooden benches was a great place to relax. The staff was friendly and there was regular evening entertainment, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

    This hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. the location was unbeatable. It was just a stone's throw away from the beautiful beach, making it incredibly convenient for taking a dip in the ocean or catching a stunning sunset. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently situated close to a supermarket and the local markets, allowing me to easily pick up any essentials or indulge in some souvenir shopping. Furthermore, being in such close proximity to the city centre meant that I had easy access to all the shops, restaurants, and attractions. It was a true convenience.

    All was perfect, couldn't ask for anything more.

    The outdoor showers were a nice touch and the gym was convenient. It was also located in a good spot for exploring the town. it was relatively clean.

    The rooms could have been better cleaned and were quite small. The noise level was high and made it challenging to sleep.

    This hotel is a great value for money. The prices are affordable and the attention to detail is impressive. The newly renovated rooms are equipped with many amenities, such as air conditioning and massive lockers, ensuring a comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The hotel's location right next to the social area, just in front of the beach, is a major plus. Additionally, being close to everything in Cairns makes it convenient for exploring the city.

    Everything was satisfactory.

    Complementary pancakes and gym, plus free bikes and beers, made for an enjoyable stay in a convenient location. the freshly renovated rooms were also a highlight.

    Limited bathroom facilities, with just one toilet and shower on each floor. the air conditioning was also fixed at a particular temperature, making the room quite hot.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in Australia and had a fantastic experience. the value for money was excellent - I couldn't believe how affordable my stay was. Secondly, the staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. They were friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently located near all the attractions, making it easy for me to explore the city. Lastly, the rooms were newly renovated with great attention to detail, and the air conditioning worked perfectly to keep me cool during the hot days.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was fantastic. I couldn't fault anything.

    This accommodation is conveniently located close to everything in the city center and just a few steps away from all the activities. It has a good location down the street, away from the potentially louder communal areas. the communal areas are nice, especially the Netflix/chill area and the roof terrace.

    The bathroom needs to be improved as it wasn't the cleanest and required extra cleaning before use.
