Fun but chilled place to stay
We had a good stay here. The vibe is very chilled with lots of nice places to chill inside and out, including a cosy camper.
The aircon required dollars putting in it every three hours.
Kitchens are kept clean and everyone was super friendly and sociable on the evenings.

There are nicer hostels in Cairns
Nice common area but Too dirty in the bathroom for my liking. Also I missed out on the included breakfast because staff didn’t inform were and how to get it. Then it was too late as I ate my own food. A bit noisy at night. I’m not coming back
the staff at dreamtime are amazing! They are very helpful with trip bookings and even remembered me by name.

Preisgünstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit Cairns
Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal! Zimmer waren OK aber nicht sonderlich sauber und Bettzeug / Kissen schon etwas älter. Es gab kleine Krabbeltiere im zimmer und Badezimmer. Gemeinschaftsbereich sehr gemütlich
smelly rubbish near room ,but good location to town center .

Although the hostel is not closed to city centre, it takes around 20 minutes walk to the Wharf. The staff is super nice and will give you a lot of tips what you see and what you do in Cairns. The bed is clean, but it is no mirror on the upstairs bathroom.

Great place on a budget
2-storey setup with interesting nooks and crannies.
Dave at reception was great in helping me to book 2 excursions out to the reef.

Friendly staffs
Staffs are friendly and helpful, location is quite close to the shopping centre, shower is nice
Staff is awesome! Main downfall is Wi-fi doesn't work in bedrooms. Room was small but the bed was comfortable and there was a table, chair & nice ceiling fan. Air Con is self pay, but cheap. Beer available on site is cheap. Multiple kitchens & hang out areas that are cozy. Pool on site. In a quieter part of town, but not a bad walk to the lagoon. I would book again.

Better host, schönes Hostel
Das Hostel und die Besitzerin sind top! Sie war super lieb und hat einen ein Willkommenes Gefühl gegeben, was schön war :) das Hostel hat einen tollen Charme!
Leider wurde sich nicht an die „Nachtruhe“ gehalten, was aber wahrscheinlich normal ist in einem Hostel.
