The hostel has a great location as it is in walking distance to everything but the town isn't that big so most city hostel are. The hostel is big with a restaurant, bar, pool, tour desk pretty much all that you need you will find! The hostel is not very clean with the rooms appearing to be turned over with... More

I have been very impressed by Gillians, It feels abit more like a hotel then a hostel! The bar downstairs means you'll never get bored, good location for shops and places to see in Cairns, clean and well kept, and friendly staff. Only downside would be the noise from the bar at night, so have some earplugs ready if you... More

Friendly welcoming staff at the front desk. Clean accomodations and good cooking/laundry facilities. The place has good security which is also a positive. The bar gets a bit crazy and wild but we did not have any problems with noise. They also have an in-house travel agent which we found very knowleadgeble on not only local tours but elsewhere in...
