It is an old building, so you may hear the others.
The location is good, you can walk to the main road and city center.
Just stayed one night, it was closeby the airport.
Excellent location and super clean! Kitchen was really fantastic, and was one of the highlights. Also there are two supermarkets literally across the street. Our only complaint was that the rooms kind of felt like prison cells- cinder block walls, almost nowhere to hang anything, and no art, or color or anything to make the rooms feel “warm”. That said, I would stay here again.
I had a really nice and relaxing stay here. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I especially appreciated the free shuttle bus—it made getting around so much easier! The kitchen and laundry were useful, and the atmosphere was chill with other travelers. Breakfast service also awesome!! I’d love to come back someday!
Room was nice and clean! About a 20/30 minute walk to the ferry terminal but bus stop was about 3 minute walk from hotel.
Had a pool on the roof which was great, nice view too.
This was my second trip, but since the service was excellent last time, I decided to come back again. This time, I joined the bingo games and quizzes, hoping to win a free accommodation voucher. The daily games were so much fun that they made me want to visit again. The location is very close to the beach, and you also get free dinner tickets every night, which makes it perfect.
처음에는 위치가 별로라고 생각했는데 시간이 갈수록 위치가 괜찮다고 생각되는 호스텔.
캥거루 포인트 브릿지랑도 가깝고 스토리 브릿지랑도 가깝다.
캥거루 포인트 & 리버사이드는 엎어지면 코 닿을곳이고
KFC Maccus 비엣남 레스토랑도 있고 서브웨이 24시간 밀크바 밤늦게 까지하는 보틀로도 코앞이라 한국인이라면 너무 편하게 스테이 할수 있을거 같다
ผผู้เข้าพักI had a great stay at Gilligan’s! The room was spacious and clean, and I was even lucky enough to have the whole dorm to myself one night. I still managed to meet plenty of people, despite being a solo traveller, thanks to the social atmosphere and nightlife. It’s worth noting that the bar/club area didn’t really get busy until late in the evening (11:30pm onwards), and the hostel is pretty deserted during the day thanks to everyone being out on tours/experiences. My room was overlooking the pool/bar area, so did get noisy at night, but the hostel offers free earplugs at reception which did the trick. It was great to have an en-suite in the room, and the bathroom was in good condition. The location is ideal, right within the hub of Cairns City, however I didn’t feel particularly safe as a solo female traveller in the area at night, so it’s definitely important to be aware of that/travel in a group where possible. The on-site travel agency is helpful and approachable, and staying at the hostel means that you can get discounted drinks at the bar and free club entry before 11pm. I didn’t end up going to any of the weekday themed nights, but at the weekend the vibes downstairs were good. I would definitely recommend Gilligan’s to any young solo/group travellers who want to meet new people and experience Cairns’ party scene at a budget-friendly price!
JJene JowNo staff at the front, ever. If you need assistance you are on your own trying to call them. Everyday there was someone else struggling to get in because the code didn’t work or the keypad was temperamental.
Check in wasn’t complicated but required time and effort following their links, if you are booking for someone else, like businesses do, you can’t get the entry code until you get the text messages and follow the check in process.
Balcony’s are useless and there is no sound insulation because of the balcony doors. The noise coming from the street to my room was the equivalent of just sleeping on the street.
Location was good for airport proximity and a Woolworths and some restaurants.
Room was clean, bathroom was cramped but did the job.
Lacked power outlets near the bed.
SSarah&RomanThis place was definitely value for money! It was in a great location, not far from the airport and the variety of different places to eat was great. We didn't really see any staff but all all amenities were clean, the floor in our room was a bit sticky and it was a bit noisy from upstairs but apart from that we couldn't really fault it.

SShanice HenawayStayed at this hotel for 4 night paying over $800. Plus had to pay $200 deposit.
20 mins after checking in and storing my belongings into the hotel room.
The manager had knocked on my door and falsely accused me of smoking ********* in his hotel.
Much to his surprise I was telling the truth and he apologized for the accusation.
Upon check out day. I cleaned the floors and all the rest of it. Took pictures for evidence of room when checked out.
Realised i hadnt been refunded my $200. asked for my deposit refund as it hasn't been put back into my account.
Manager denied paying me my deposit back and claimed that he had to pay his cleaners extra for the extra 40 mins they took to clean UNDER our beds. Which he never stated that would be a reason to withhold my full refund.
I left the room clean, no damages to property upon checkout, As manager instructed. I proved I certainly wasn't smoking ********* in his hotel.
Completed a complaints form about his customer service as he still refusing to give me my $200 deposit.
Will never stay there again.
