The staff were really smiley and welcoming on arrival, and told us about the free meal voucher at Woolshed, a popular backpacker hang out. We had a private double room and were pleasantly surprised when we checked in as the room was huge and had a fridge and air con included! Our friends were a couple of doors down and... More

I stayed 4 nights in their private room with shared bathroom. The room is reasonably sized and there is a fridge and air-conditioning. There is also a pool, large kitchen/dining area, laundry, pool table although I never used them. Good value for money. The thing I'm most satisfied with is their staff. They're all very friendly and helpful. They helped... More

Actually this place has got everything we need as backpacker... The only wrong point I can talk about is that They advertise on a free dinner but it´s actually not free (need to buy at least a 2,5 dollars soft drink) and it´s not a diner but more an appetizer. I would eat 3 like this one to feel full... More

We have stayed in en suite for 6 nights at the hotels and were very happy with the stay. The room was really large, it had a fridge, air conditioning. Also, we were lucky as we got kind of private yard, no one could come or see us, so it was a nice place to read the book in early... More

My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights whilst in Cairns and were generally very happy with our stay. The private room was modern, clean and large and came with air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and a fridge, which was brilliant value for money. The bathrooms whilst clean were not brilliantly thought out...for instance, in a shared bathroom you would... More

Nice pool and good sized common area. Kitchens get a bit hectic when everyone trying to cook. Rooms not very clean, air con not working in all rooms. No lock to bathroom door and bathroom pretty smelly. Location was OK just off the esplanade. Staff friendly and will help with booking tours. Overall not amazing but OK for a hostel... More

We'd booked nearly 10 days at Caravella, so naturally we were worried that it might not be good...from the moment we arrived, Caravella was so homely and friendly. We were upgraded from a six bed dorm to a twin room, for our entire stay! This is the type of hostel that literally does everything it can to make its guests... More

We spent 3 nights at this hostel in December and we thought it was great. We wanted a private room with en-suite and ended up paying for a 3 bed room for the two of us but it meant we had some extra space. I liked the decent sized fridge in the room so you could keep your food safe... More
