The bellview is right on the Esplanade within a really short walk of literally everything you'll ever need in Cairns. It is by far the nicest, cleanest hostel I've stayed in yet. The rooms (even dorms) are spacious with two sinks and a decent bathroom/shower. comfy beds that aren't bunks and effective aircon! Despite being right in the centre of... More

We moved here after escaping a different, dirty hostel and were very pleasantly surprised! For a start there were hot showers and working wall plugs! It's really clean, and our room was spacious enough for everyone to out their luggage somewhere out of the way. There was even a decent sized wardrobe! The kitchen was well equipped and also kept...

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. Rented a room with private bathroom. It's clean and basic. Expensive by world standards, but not by Australian standards. The reception is mostly manned by the owner (I think his name is Rodney he never bothered to introduce himself or wear a name tag) and Craig. Craig is WONDERFUL, PATIENT, FULL OF SMILES,... More

This is our 4th time of staying here over 20 years. This time we stayed in room 40. A motel room. Newly fitted bathroom. Very clean and spacious. There is some noise from the hostel next door and no curtain to block out the light at the back of the room. Staff always friendly and give a discount for trips... More

We stayed here in January for 5 nights, and whilst the facilities were very basic, we throughly enjoyed our stay, and thought the price was excellent. We stayed in a four bed girls dorm, and had the room to ourselves (there were 3 of us) for nearly our whole stay. The bathroom was fine, with a good shower, and the... More

I was backpacking on my own, so only there for a few nights, and I got lucky I got along well with other people from a previous tour because this place is not really welcoming or fun, in the sense that they do not organize much events / parties etc kitchen not perfectly clean (...but it's up to us!) and...

It's nice, but something old. I went there with a friend, the atention it's good but for youn people it's so borring.... if you want to relax it's good, but the view and the place it's not so nice. You are near a nice park, and a lot of places to eat diferent foods, so good location but..... just that,... More

As backpackers,we like to find somewhere nice to stay for relatively cheap. The board outside states,dorm rooms with A/C for $19 per night. Perfect. However,the rude,obnoxious owner (who knocks once on an all girls dorm room and then lets himself in to turn it off throughout the day) decides to only allow the A/C on in limited hours. You should... More

The bellview has apparently been around since the 1930s and has stayed within the family since. I stayed here by myself in a motel room. The room was spacious, not modern but neat and had an ensuite, fridge, two beds, tv, chair, small table, fan and aircon. It also has wifi access for which you need to pay for (7.95... More
