Theypromised to pick me up at the bus stop,late at night; but they didnot show up.There's sb sleeping on the floor, two girls sharing one bed above me-crowded & messy. Everytime warm water turned off halfway when I was showering. The guy got up late that morning and the kitchen and reception were 1 hour late to open.-I left early in the morning with no breakfast.

There are really nice people at this hostel but the state of the bathrooms is despicable.

This is the best hostel you can find in Australia :D I had the best time ever there. The staff is awesome! Nick rocks Oz :D I can\'t really find words for how much fun I had there. I stayed for 3 months ( ! ) and I\'m definetly coming back in the future. Poolparties, BBQ\'s, trips 2 the beaches and the rainforest, Drinking games and other games! Rosies is the place 2 be. So if you\'re in Cairns, there is no other place that does it better ;) As a matter of fact; Go to Cairns just so u can experience Rosies :D It\'s worth it 4 sho :P Peace out! P.S : U may even c me there hehe. NORWAY :D:D:D

Hostel was nice place to stay, close to everything you need. Staff helped with sorting you out but only stay here if you want to party not if you want to sleep.

I had a fantastic time at this hostel, I really didn't want to leave, the poeple were awesome, the atmosphere was amazing, I flet so at home and relaxed here, and it can through a good party to. Everyone here was like a family, and I wish I could be back there. Great swimming pool, cool t.v room, big outdoor table areas to chill out around, and the best hammocks ever! To finish - This is the best hostel EVER!!!

Kitchen was always dirty but that was mainly the fault of the other guests. They didn't know how to tidy up after themselves!! feklt sorry for the cleaner & there wa always empty beer bottles & food everywhere. No lockers to store valubles so had to take them with me when I went out..Who wants to carry a passport around with them??? did get a free meal at the woolshed which was a bonus..
