Very quiet, stayed in a 2 person room with my friend. Simple & clean. Bathroom was great…lots of showers & clean. Felt very safe. No parking, so try the parking garage on Lake St, $12/day.

Paid extra for the premium king private room and spent the whole time listening to slamming doors. The shared bathroom for the premium rooms isn’t lockable so be prepared to walk in on people on the loo or in the shower! Staff are great and location is central and it’s probably great if you’re in a dorm and on a budget but personally I wouldn’t stay there again.

Great hostel at Cairns CBD. Clean, quiet with a great social space in the hallway. Highly recommended for solo travelers that enjoy mostly resting at night after a full day of activities.

All the front desk staff I interacted with were very helpful, warm, and genuinely cared about my travel experience and were very resourceful with recommending places and things to try. I arrived at 12am and the manager on call was very kind to check me in. The room smelled of a melting pot of body odour though... I wish there was better ventilation and a window. The place had pretty much everything you would need. I think the bathrooms could be cleaner. The staff alone made my stay enjoyable and it was definitely worth the cheap stay.

My stay at The Village was wonderful, from the moment I checked in with Jonnie. He was super friendly and helped us at all times. Our trip to Cairns was to celebrate my mom's birthday, and I can say that we had a very pleasant experience. The place is quiet and well-maintained, exactly what is needed to relax and have a good time.

Check in process took 40 mins so digital keys and online check in process wasn't fully operating/helpful for late at night (wasn't staffed 24/7 which is what the listing said. Well after paying for booking an email came saying no 24 hour front desk anymore (main reason I chose here). Pics in the hotel listing are misleading in that they show windows in rooms that appear to open towards outside of building like normal windows but they only face the hallway/common area. Floors in my solo room were not cleaned before I got here - many different hair types on floor - bloody gross. Ceiling fan very dirty also. Air conditioning split system unit is on but remote not available so can't adjust climate control. Square vent next to AC unit expels very warm air through a very dirty opening and it can't be controlled from room so overall the room was quite uncomfortable and stuffy. Who pumps warm air and unadjustable air-con air into a room simultaneously, in the tropics, during a heat wave?! Hotel says that they conduct daily housekeeping but this was not the case for my room (2 night stay). Small waste bin in room not emptied and it was full as by the door to room. Also, there is a patch of mold on the wall just below and to the right of air conditioning unit. Have taken pictures of all of this to show (if interested) that I am not exaggerating. Generally the complex is quite loud with large gaps at bottom of room doors allowing sound to echo across polished concrete floors

Check in was great, friendly and quick. Only issue was coming back to the hostel at night when reception was closed, the app used to open the doors did not work. Rang the phone number but no answer. Another guest had the same issue until a third guest tried and the door opened. They rang back over an hour later once I was asleep. Had the other guest not been able to open the door, I would not have been able to get in. Yet the app worked to open the door to my room

Very central location but uber drivers are not familiar with the hostel. Select pick up or drop off area at different landmark such as Timezone, Woolworths or Art Gallery. Can be a bit noisy outside at night as expected with central locations

The private room we stayed in was clean and quiet. Check in was easy and front desk staff were always friendly. On our day of check out they let us store luggage for the day as we didn’t leave town until the evening which was a great help! The bathrooms ran out of paper products a few times and the bathrooms and kitchen were not the cleanest in comparison to other hostels along the east coast, but it was nothing too notable and overall we had a positive experience! The location is incredible and we were within walking distance of everything we could’ve hoped for, including pick up spots for day tours. Free breakfast included toast, coffees & teas. I would recommend this property and would say the highlights were the location and the quiet rooms.
