Little Drifter Cairns

The location was excellent, just a short walk to the reef tour boats and close to most major attractions. A grocery store is only a few metres away, making it easy to pick up food and drinks. The bathrooms were spacious, recently renovated, and kept very clean throughout the stay. The common area had a great setup. The keyless, Bluetooth entry was convenient.

I loved the respectful atmosphere in the hostel. I had to wake up early for work every day and I did not hear any noise from the common areas, it's very well insulated and the staff encourages to keep a calmer vibe from 10pm. However, it's still a social hostel, since there are free events you can sign up to: free BBQs, yoga and salsa lessons, group runs... And the staff is so nice! Regarding the facilities, you have a personal locker inside the room, the terrace is great to eat out and meet others, the kitchen is big and well equipped, and you can store your food in there, and the bathrooms are clean and never too crowded. So it has all I wanted, which was not to be a party hostel but still with a sociable vibe! I found everyone was very respectful here.

The Village Location is excellent with everything you need close by locally and many interesting sites to visit. The Staff are amazing! Very kind, courteous, consistently helpful and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. I must recognize a few exceptional employees, such as Luke, Lea, Maxine and Elena at Reception. Honestly, they are genuinely good people and I would definitely stay at the Village Cairns again

The hostel is super central. Right in the middle of everything. I stayed there for nearly two weeks. The beds and rooms were great with air con, big lockers and everything. On every floor in the hallway were seats to sit and have calls even in the evening to not disturb the people in the room or having the lively dinner room noise in the background. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They have a Pool table, lots of games, different spots to chill together with people.

The staff was so friendly. I liked the location (everything close: the buses, the train station, the port), how spacious my room was, and the cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen. I liked the balcony with the armchairs and tables.
