The location on the Esplanade made it easy to get around, with everything close by and plenty right outside the door. I stayed at Flying Monkey Backpackers for a few nights in Cairns and really liked its cosy feel. The staff were great and helpful with everything, and they invited guests to join the weekly activities, which was a nice way to meet people. The hostel was very clean, and the free breakfast was a lovely surprise. I’d recommend it to backpackers.

That Backpacker is a decent place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere cheap in the middle of the Esplanade. The complimentary breakfast is very simple. The rooms were alright, though a few doors were hard to close, and the bathrooms were clean and nice. The staff were nice, depending on who was serving you.

The staff were really great and the location was ideal, but I was so relieved when it was time to check out. I never want to stay somewhere like this again. The dorms were awful: broken kitchen appliances patched with duct tape, stains everywhere, a missing window, air con that didn’t work, and beds that felt ready to break. Bugs covered the floor and beds. I sprayed all my things with bug spray and they still crawled all over me. It’s a cheap place, but you get what you pay for.

For a hostel, it’s good value. The rooms were fairly clean, and the staff and manager were friendly and helpful. The location was just right for getting around Cairns.
