BUG Review
Corona Backpackers is a small hostel with spacious, tidy dorms painted in bright and cheerful colours. It has a central location and is just upstairs from a great café. There are two small kitchens with ovens, but not much seating. There is no real common area either. However the bathrooms are clean with new tiles and the reception staff are outgoing and friendly. It's a shame that it is lacking in facilities and atmosphere, as it is a clean and inexpensive place in the city centre.

This place is in the heart of Cairns & across the road from Gilligans bar & pool. If you are just looking for a place to sleep & leave your gear, its perfect. I got a double room for $35. The staff are only there in the morning but once youve checked in you dont need them again anyway.
