My friend and I stayed in this hostel for 6 nights. Throughout our entire stay all of the staff on reception were unbelievably unfriendly and rude. One receptionist in particular was very rude and we were lucky to get any kind of response any time we approached the desk. We stayed in a four bed dorm which didn't have a... More

Had a nice stay in Cairns, the hostel was well run by the helpful girls on reception who are great for booking trips with at discounted prices. Cleanliness was ok, toilets could do with several cleans a day, the kitchen however always looked immaculate and was very spacious with a cool little balcony with picnic tables. The hostel is in...

We stayed at Global over the Christmas after an immediate exit from Gecko's in Cairns. The staff at reception were informative and helpful. The staff doing the cleaning were not so good. I am going to make a point here: When you are at a backpackers, you put your food and drinks in a bag in the fridge and expect... More

Overall it's been a nice stay! Room and toilets really clean and fun backpackers to meet! Only negative spot is the staff members. Really rude and unprofessional! Guys SMILE sometimes! More

We stayed in a double room in Global Backpackers for only $48 per night. The hostel is clean, central and quite new. If you're looking for a hostel where you can meet other backpackers, this hostel is probably not the best because it's very big. Otherwise: I would definitely reccommend this hostel. More

I stayed at Global Central during my stay in Cairns and was plesently suprised. All members of staff were helpful and always had a smile. After staying in many hostals whilst traveling up the east coast, i have to say this was one of the best so far. The entire hostal was clean and and had great areas to meet... More

I stayed at Global Central while I was in Cairns this year. The hostel is really new and extremly clean. All of the rooms have good light and compared to some of the other hostels I have stayed in previously I would stay here again 100 times over. The greatest thing is the pool that they have located on the... More

It's large and very modern, not grimey like most hostels. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The common area has comfy couches and a large flat screen TV. There's a nice balcony which overlooks a main city street. There's a small pool on the roof, but never saw people chillin around it. There's not plates/cutlery in the kitchen, you have... More

I check in for one night and ended up staying a week. Basically Global Central has everything you need. It is centrally located which is just fantastic. The hostel is one of the cleanest I have stayed in. Each night you stay you are entitled to a $5 meal deal at P.J Obriens which is a 30 second walk from... More
