Stayed at The Jack hostel for over a month, while i was working in Cairns, and really enjoyed my stay there. Had very helpful members of staff that were on hand to help you out with any issues. Particularly liked the pretty terraced area and TV room above the main bar. Met some really friendly people and overall had a great experience. On some nights of the week it does get a bit loud with the music and live entertainment, but in my opinion this contributes to the cool and social atmosphere of the place. Would recommend!
If I could give this hostel a higher rating, then I would. Everything about it was brilliant. First of all, the price is very reasonable, which is important as most hostels have become super expensive following the pandemic. Also, the location is brilliant, only a five minute walk from the center of Cairns and ten minutes from the lagoon and waterfront. The facilities here are also great. Everything is kept clean and tidy by the housekeeping staff. Plenty of showers and toilet facilities for everyone. The kitchen features not only cooking hobs but also ovens a rarity in hostels. Moreover, the hostel has a good sized social area and a TV lounge which are great to chill out in. All rooms are also equipped with a fridge and Air Con which, believe me, you will need in Cairns. The hostel has its own onsite pub also called the Jack which hosts live bands on some nights. The hostel does warn you in advance about the potential noise this may create as the pub is open until late on Fridays and Saturdays, but we did not find it to be that loud and experienced no noise issues. Furthermore, the legendary nightclub Gilligan's is only a two minute walk away and with the more relaxing atmosphere you find at the Jack, you really do get the best of both worlds when it comes to partying or just relaxing and taking it easy. By far my biggest compliments, however, go to the manager, Harriet and her team at reception, who are not only very friendly and always up for a chat, but really do go above and beyond to ensure the hostel is well run, and to help out with any problems or queries you may have and to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend this place enough. Easily one of my favourite hostels. Needless to say, when I find myself back in Cairns, I know where I'll be staying!
The manager that took care of my Mums party was fantastic. The service was impeccable. The lady that helped with the arrangements was amazing. The food and decorations were second to none. The food was so yummy. If your having a party The Jack is the place to go. We had 70 people turn up and everything went perfect. Beryl’s 80th best party ever.
Yet again The Jack delivered! I'm on night 2 of a 5 night stay and tonight being Friday I can hear a great cover band playing at the courtyard near my room so going to check that out. Top feeds too. Clean room and close to everything. I last stayed here 8 or 9 years ago and it's still a great place staff are so helpful at accommodation area and the pub.. big thumbs up! Gotta love the live music on weekends
Absolutely Terrible Service. I paid a deposit to stay there over 4 months ago and booked through Hostel World. The Jack Backpackers realised they had overbooked and called me. I am yet to receive my deposit refund. They have tried their best to avoid the issue for months. They do no want to reimburse me. I did stay there a few years before hand on a footy trip. The place is dirty and I don’t know why I decided to go back there there was not many other options Probably a blessing we had to stay somewhere else. The deposit refund would be nice and the right thing for the Hostel to do. Jay the General Manager is extremely rude and unhelpful. Learn how to run the business in the right manner and be helpful to your customers. I look forward to hearing your reply.
Been coming in for the Sunday roast which has been absolutely delicious. Great service but the only downside is inconsistency. One week it has pork crackle and apple sauce and plenty of vegetables then next time a bit skimpy on vegetables and no crackle or apple sauce. It would be great if they sorted that out.
This is an very nice hostel with really big rooms and very good showers. Sometimes little bit noise but every guest now this when there book this hostel. The showers very new and the facilities mostly clean.
Located in the center of Cairns, not far from the mall and the esplanade, it offers a cheap high quality service. The staff is very welcoming. The rooms are old and can get quite noisy, specially during weekends because of the concerts nearby. Decent for a backpacker.Rooms: 3/5
I am an amputee and have a registered assistance dog. The manager refused entry including to the outdoor area of the venue. after confirming and subsequently reporting the venue to the Qld branch of the human rights commission who quoted legislation that prohibits this sort of discrimination in a licences venue the commission supplied case studies of venues fined for this sort of discriminatory behaviours. To be an assistance dog the animal is trained in obedience and behaviour to ensure there are no issues. The fact I am an amputee should never become a reason for me to not be able to be treated as a normal member of society.
Lovely place, clean, fair prices. There are several types of rooms 6 beds, 4 beds, 8 beds and there is an option to have a shower and toilet in the room or without the reception staff are pleasant and calm.
