great hostel
I was very pleased with my stay at this hostel, very well organized, clean ,friendly staff and loads to do. it is a 30 mins walk from town centre but they have an hourly free shuttle that also picks you up at the airport. I stayed in a 6 beds female dorm, beds are clean and comfy.

Nothing too special
When we got here for our 2 nights stay in a 6 bedded mixed dorm room, we tried to check in but the staff took about 10 minutes to sort our room out, they seemed a bit grumpy and not very easy to talk too, the rooms were nice and big, plenty of space to store bags and lockers that could lock to keep valuable in, kitchen was big and clean, plenty of space to cook, lots of seats to eat outside and inside, bathrooms and toilets were clean,

Great time here!
After reading all the bad reviews on here, i was a bit dubious about staying here. But i'm glad i didn't cancel my booking because we ended up having the best time here. We stayed for a week and it was one of the best weeks we spent in Australia. We met some amazing friends who we are still in touch with and found the people there really helpful and friendly. We had a private room, which was basic, but it's a hostel, not a five star resort, so we weren't complaining. We actually grew quite fond of our room! The pool was also really nice, the temperature was perfect and the bar always had social events going on, such as pool tournaments, to get people involved.I'm not a big drinker, so i wasn't out every night getting hammered and i wasn't particularly disturbed by anyone coming back from a night out. People seemed to respect that there were others there who were sleeping. The wifi deal there is excellent too, $12 unlimited for 7 days. Can't complain at that! The kitchen was small, but adequate. We were able to cook some pretty good meals there, so it was never a problem for us and the outdoor space was really nice to eat at. The desk was also really helpful, as i hired an underwater camera when i went snorkelling and they got me a really good deal. They also helped us hire a car for 24 hours, we got an amazing deal and had such a great time driving up the Captain Cook Highway. There are always day trips and special offers going on there so its worth checking out the brochures and boards at the desk and asking about the latest deals. The whole place had a really social feel to it and we were actually really sad to leave. The free shuttle bus was a nice touch, but it maybe could have been more often (although i realise it was driven by volunteers and people who were staying there themselves.) That is about my only minor issue! The location was good too, you could quite easily walk into Cairns centre if you felt like it and enjoy walking. There were a nice mix of ages and nationalities there too, we made good friends with some Italians while we were there. If i had listened to the reviews on here, i would have cancelled my booking but i am so glad i gave it a chance. I guess the experience is partly what you make of it and partly due to the people around you, but i honestly loved it here and would definitley stay here again should i return to Cairns (highly likely!).

i expected better.
I expected better from Nomads thats why i was a bit dissapointed. +: airconditioning in rooms worked well, swimmingpool is big and openingtimes are good. Free shuttlebus to town, although not often enough.-: free breakfast is 2 toast p.p. and you cant even get it yourself, breakfast time is till 9. Free evening meal is only if you spend at least a 5 dollar drink and is very small and always only vegetarian. No free internet and to buy is quite expensive and very very slow. Not enough plugs in the room (2plugs between 8 people) and with the travellers adapter only 1 fits in at a time. They have a deal that they can beat any price at their travelshop if not you het your entiee trip for free,. I found a betterndeal, they could give it to me and i also didnt get my trip for me, so this deal doesnt excist.

Simply brilliant.
I arrived in Cairns for the second time during my stay in Cairns. Previously I stopped in a hostel which shall not be named, but it was awful. As I had stopped in previous Nomads I decided to give this one a go. To put it bluntly, best choice I have made. This hostel is brilliant. I got picked up promptly from the airport and welcomed by a friendly staff member who was more than happy to talk to you. This immediately made me feel welcome. When I arrived the hostel felt like a holiday resort, not a hostel I am used to stopping in. The reception were very nice and swift. The hostel rooms are big and spacious, the kitchen is cleaned regularly, as are the bathrooms. The kitchen is big, and has a lot of room to store food. If you don't feel like cooking you can grab a $3 meal, or buy a drink and get a free meal at the onsite bar/restaurant. This meal is big enough and of good quality. The bar is a great place to meet new people. I was watching the Australian Open with new people, which was great.The pool is massive, far bigger than most pools. It is great for when you want to cool down in the 40+ temps. Also they have a beach volleyball on site, which is fun if you get a group together.I have read comments about the distance from the city. It is a 30 minute walk, but you can do this along the esplanade which is beautiful. If you don't fancy this they do a free shuttle bus 10:00am to 3:00am. This is pretty much every hour.To sum up, this hostel is the best in Cairns....and I have been in many of them!
