BUG Review
Bohemia Resort is a bit far from the centre, but they have a frequent shuttle bus into town. The dorms are spacious and clean, with single beds and some with balconies. There is a nice resort size swimming pool and spa, an outdoor bar with a pool table and a great barbecue area. The kitchen is large and clean, but you have to pay a deposit at reception for cutlery and plates. There is also no refrigerator in the kitchen; instead there are small refrigerators in the dorms. There is internet access ($4 per hour) and free breakfast. The atmosphere here most of the time is very quiet, although weekends see late nights in the bar.
Price Dorm bed $23-35 Single room $59 Double/twin room $65-85 Apartment $120-250 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.

I was a bit apprehensive of staying here after reading the other reviews, but it looks like the Bohemia resort are listening (and more importantly acting).We arrived on the overnight Greyhound, and were picked up from the station. The pickup was 15 mins late, but that wasn`t bad considering it was about 6:30am.We had been told that check-in wasn`t till 2pm, but the staff were nice, and managed to get us a double room straight off. (I think we were lucky it wasn`t full).The room was very impressive, large double bed, big clean bathroom, TV and air-con. The tiled floor did get a bit slippy after a shower, but there was no mould like we had feared.The hourly bus takes you to the centre of town, but its often full. The walk is about 30 mins, along streets with no pavements (what is it about Cairns!!)Overall, I was glad to stay there, certainly a step up from the horrors of Koalas!!
Pros:
Dont be fooled by the pretty pictures!!
Cons:
Moldy tea cups!!

After a 4 hour flight from darwin we couldnt wait to get to 'Bohemia' and jump straight in the pool we'd seen in the glossy brochure....once we managed to drag our belongings to the reception we spent the next hour paying deposits for everything....only to be given a moldy tub full of moldy cutlery...to be used in the moldy kitchen....!!! The room consisted of a cold tiled floor, a moldy sink and a moldy fridge....and three moldy beds...!!
The staff and owners at Bohemia in my view were rude arrogant and obnoxous and clearly out to make money from hard up backpackers.
After our room flooded twice in as many hours, we were spoken to very rudely and offered no refund or apology we moved down the road to the serpent Hostel which was like a 5 star palace compaired to this dump....

No bunk beds, spacious rooms. Very hot in Cairns but the pool here made it aright. Large patio with tables and nearby bar. Fully equiped kitchen with plenty of utilities. The only bad thing was that it was far from the nightlife, however they offered a shuttle that went downtown and back until midnight or so. Good place to book reef tours from. Had lots of fun snorkeling with the turtles and colorful fish. Pretty good place to stay if you wanna relax and enjoy the heat.
Staff where very knoladagable. All in all not a bad little backpackers realy
