BUG Review
This hostel has impeccably clean air-conditioned dorms with comfortable beds, new tile flooring and en suite bathrooms. The large bar/common area has pool tables, a projection screen and a good swimming pool. There is a good atmosphere and every night there are different events in the bar and guests get a free evening meal. The hostel also offers free shuttle buses, an internet café and a tour desk. However the hostel is lacking in security and the reception staff can be a bit careless.
Price Dorm bed $18-25 Double/twin room $80 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.

Stayed in a twin room, which was placed inside of a dorm room - not really what you'd expect from a twin room. The hostel has kinda a dull atmosphere and the location is not that great either.It's not horrible or something like that - it's just....there's so many better hostels out there.

I loved my stay at the Cairns Beach House, met some really good friends. The bar is wicked, free meal at night and the chance to pick from huge menu. The rooms were clean and beds were comfy. The best place to stay in Cairns!!

The staff is nice, there is a courtesy bus to town and they pick you up at the airport BUT:
- The ad said dorms with less than 3 beds and no bunk but I ended in a 9-bed dorm but bunks.
- no curtains in the first dorm I stayed
- bugs in the dorm and the kitchen
- filthy kitchen, 1 toaster for everybody, 1 tea towel (always wet)
- hole in the bathroom ceiling...I wrote a negative comment on their comment book and they simply took the page away!
Pros:
Very good atmosphere & opportunity to work for accomodation
Cons:
Very rude staff, bugs everywhere, filthy kitchen

Overall had a wicked time here, as were some great people staying at the time. Though one of the receptionists/ managers - Joel - was extremely rude and nasty. DO NOT TRUST. Facilities are ok - sky tv and a pool area, though the bedrooms are cramped and swarming with cockroaches and ants. Kitchen is too small. Free bus shuttle into town at certain times.
