Terrible experience — I was violently thrown to the ground without reason.nnSecurity violently threw me to the floor, claiming I was “too drunk,” when in fact I was completely conscious, calm, and respectful. I had only had a couple of drinks — far less than many others around me. I wasn’t causing any trouble at all.nnI tried to explain that I was alone in the city and didn’t know anyone, hoping for at least a bit of understanding or empathy. Instead, I was treated with aggression, humiliation, and zero respect.nnI strongly believe I was targeted unfairly, possibly due to racism. I was singled out for no valid reason, while others were left alone. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable. I felt unsafe and deeply disrespected.nnThis place is not safe, especially for solo travelers or people of different backgrounds. I would never recommend it.
What a bad place. I left the bar to go to my room in the hostel and on my way back to the bar I wasnt let back in because apparently I was too drunk. I was drinking but wasn’t too drunk at all. Acted totally fine. The bouncers are known to kick people out for no reason and are just power tripping. Definitely don’t recommend going to this bar.
Had been a regular when in town but disappointed this year. No happy hour prices. Price for a beer very high. Is a rip off.nnI had told many people interstate to go to this place when they visited Cairns. Now I will be telling them to find cheaper places. Like the pub across the road from Cairns Central with its very reasonably priced rump steaks.nnProbably new management at this venue trying to be too smart by half. They need to realise in a cost of living crisis they are driving away the regulars.nnImprovement needed !
The hostel is super easy to get to and in the city center. The rooms were okay but some looked pretty old and worn out already. The kitchen was most of the time pretty clean. If you booked a regular room which is on the side where the club is at, it’s a little louder at night. If you’re a deep sleeper like me, it won’t bother you, but if not I would suggest you to take another, more expensive room. They have a pool which is a big plus for me and that was was always clean and also didn’t smell overly chlorinated.nThe bar is really good and they have a lot of options. They could play better music though, most of the time it’s just standard white girl music and nothing special.
By far the worst hostel of my entire trip to Australia. Sleeping here is not possible. It's all about partying all the time, there's shouting in the corridor, nobody cares about a good night's sleep and the staff basically don't care. Two of the staff there were very friendly towards me, so I get one star for that, the others were super unfriendly - they put on a smile at the front, but nobody really cares. I would particularly like to mention a Leo/Liam/whatever. He knew that I was lying in bed with a high temperature and chills, told me to drink a lot and sleep well - and then checked two more people into the room at 2am which was great, as everyone in the room didn't leave to party until around 1.30am, so it was quiet for a while. The way he communicated this on the phone was super cheeky and rude. Someone definitely doesn't know how to deal with guests and likes to overreact.nI couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours all night, someone always started partying in the room or switching on the lights. The dining area is often very dirty, the air conditioning so cold that you can only get sick. For anyone who wants to party for 5 nights straight, this is exactly the right hostel. Everyone else should look for an alternative.
