I didn't plan to stay for much longer than a few nights, but I stayed here for over a week. The staff were really really helpful! They organised our trip out to the Great Barrier Reef, and kept letting us buy nights as we took them. I have never had a hotel/hostel so helpful. The hostel is a short walk... More

Our stay at globetrotters was our worst in Australia. Not because the facilities are bad but due to the atmosphere and environment created in the hostel. There are signs everywhere telling you not to do this and that 'or else' or because 'you will be thrown out'. We stayed in a lot of hostels and none were so suspicious of... More

The Globetrotters International is a modern hostel with all the facilities (and lack thereof) that you would expect from a hostel. The rooms were clean and staff friendly. The kitchen was big with plenty of fridge space and kitchen equipment. There was a pool area, but its not really useful for more than a bit of lounging about, but still... More

Dear owners, had a double room, for 56 Dollar, a little bit overrated for now. Things to improve: - get some PAID staff (not just backpackers working for accommodation -- would you like to make a hard try in cleaning up, if you don´t get paid???) - let the paid staff tidy up the whole hostel (toilets!) - get someone...

I stayed here for a week and was really pleased with my stay. The staff were so friendly and really went out of their way to help us with day trips etc. The rooms aren't amazing but its still really good value for money. If i was in Cairns, i'd stay here again.

The one member of staff I saw done a decent job. Its a modern hostel with everything you need. Unfortunately some of the communal areas near the reception are very messy and clearly someone is not paying any attention to the rules. I get the impression it needs more staff or the this Hostel could go to ruin.

Online the hostel looked perfect for me and my sister. We arrived at 1.45pm to find reception closed (some random had to let us in the main door), we informed the hostel of our arrial time. A note on reception said hours until 2pm so we weren't impressed. Rang the 2 numbers on reception front but no response, then saw... More

Rooms and facilities very nice. About 20 minute walk to town, but a very easy, nice walk so not a problem. Seemed clean and organized. Only thing that it lacked was the social element, people didn't really mix and just sat using free wifi, not talking. Would benefit by organizing more social events etc.

I stayed here after finding the hostel online, i was looking for a quieter hostel without a bar and this one is exactly that. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfy. I did not book any trips until I got to the hostel and they were able to help me out... More
