Not really deluxe room the 4 bed but it was a bed for couple night. A lot quieter than some of the other rooms though. Just lack of plugs in the room which makes no sense.

it's quite clean, the service is good, and it's very convenient to eat around. Next time I come to Cairns, I will stay in Cairns. The surrounding bars are very lively！

Nice Hostel with a good bar

The personnel is helpful and friendly. The location is perfect and the bar/club is always busy. You can eat, drink and party all at the same place.
The air conditioning in the rooms was a bit too strong, and there is no controller to modify it. It's a centralised system.
The bed has to be done by yourself when arriving. Finding it done would be appreciated. A shelf and individual light in the bed would be really useful.
The building is very big and has enough room in the common areas and kitchen (which is busy at any time).
Services are fine overall.
