Asrama di Cairns

I left another local hostel after one night as it was just too noisy - I wanted a place for a good rest so that I could really enjoy all the amazing day trips nearby. This place did just that! I booked a single occupancy room (shared bathroom) on the day and stayed for 4 nights - great value for money and really did the job - I had a perfect rest here. Other guests were of all ages and were friendly. The hostel was very quiet at night and put on some optional entertainment (I chose not to partake and it didn’t disturb me at all). The pool area is small but great! Big kitchen area to cook in and store food. The staff were great at helping me book day trips and the location is fantastic for these (I did the Great Barrier Reef, karunda skyrail and daintree trip from here and the location was perfect). I would definitely stay again!

Omg staying at this hostel was equally parts traumatic and entertaining. The best way to describe it is imagine if a problematic 60 year old man opened a hostel with a nightclub underneath, and all the social activities were designed with other problematic 60 year old men in mind. They don't seem to do any sort of gender balancing in the mixed dorm, one girl checked into my room in the middle of the night, because she was put in a mixed dorms with only men over 50. The social activities are old fashioned but not in a good way, I'm talking wet t shirt contests, pole dancing competitions, jelly wrestling. But honestly this hostel gave most of the girls staying here the ick so we ended up having movie nights on the girls floor, going to the market and Esplanade together and to the free gym. I actually had a good time, ironically. The facilities at this hostel are really good to be fair, the dorms were clean, they all had air conditioning and balconies (unfortunately you are not able to control the temperature of the air conditioning or turn it off when it is cold outside), they had large well equipped kitchens, a pool and a free gym. Even the nightclub was a good venue, but the social activities are like something out of the Wolf Of Wall Street. If they are going to be a sleazy venue they could at least hire Magic Mike dancers. But honestly they just need to get a new entertainment manager and this place would be fine. Location is alright, about a twenty minute walk to the Esplanade.

First of all crazy good location. This is right where you want to be in Cairns When taking in consideration that this is a hostel it is very good. We had a private room with bathroom for 2 nights Very clean and modern, with great Wi-Fi connection. The hostel also had special deals at local bars and restaurants. We got a coupon for dinner and a drink for 12$ at the local Irish pub. And here we are even talking big and good portions of food and wine… They had a big kitchen and a nice terrace with a great view Can recommend this place even if you are not the typical hostel type

I arrived the day after Cyclone Jasper. My flight was severely delayed and I was a bit stressed esp as a solo older female traveller. It also seemed I had a duplicate payment in the system . The delightful young Irish(?) woman on reception the night of 16/12 was a godsend. She was charming , efficient, refunded my overpayment . On check in , offered me a lower bunk in a 3 bedded room. The room was great - quiet spacious , great accommodation clean . I loved the fluffy pillows spotless bedding good ac and fans.No ‘ hostel’ smell either! .Amazing location close to the Esplanade too! Thank you !

Ho preso una camera privata qui per alcuni giorni. Il personale è cortese la pulizia abbastanza buona le camere sono un pò piccole, clima che funziona al top. Prezzi ok posizione ottima sia per uscire la sera che per visitare i dintorni la mattina

I don’t like to post negative reviews but I’ve tried to contact the owner by phone (rang out every day for 4 days) and I messaged (which showed it had been read) and I’ve waited 2 weeks for some kind of reply but nothing so here’s my review… There’s 2 issues I have, the first one wasn’t an issue until the 2nd issue happened. The first was, I paid extra for a room with its own bathroom but didn’t get one. This I was prepared to overlook and I figured maybe the next time I stayed would be a 3rd Time’s the Charm thing (previous stay the air con wasn’t working) but the next thing that happened has me not wanting to stay at Caravella again. Since I didn’t have my own bathroom, I followed the map which directed me to the communal bathroom upstairs (there looked like there was a bathroom downstairs but it was locked)... after I came out a woman was standing in the doorway of her room opposite giving me filthy looks. I didn’t ask why, I just left. But when I woke up at 4am and used it again both her and her boyfriend bashed on the door and when I came out they abused the absolute sh*t out of me. Screaming at me that it was their bathroom and called me a c*nt for invading their privacy. I said it was a bit of an overreaction and they screamed at me more. No-one likes being screamed at, especially at 4 in the morning and since I was emotional anyway (I’ve been separated for work from my partner and it was my first night alone for the 6 months I have ahead) I went back to bed frightened and cried myself back to sleep. They were both wide awake and their eyes were huge and judging from their reaction to me using what I thought was a bathroom for everyone, I can only assume that drugs were involved. I was actually scared. If I hadn’t left quickly I really do believe he would’ve punched my in the face or thrown me down the stairs. Or both. Then, the next morning I woke up around 7:30 and went looking for another toilet to use and ran in to her with a friend and she again called me a c*nt and repeated that I invading her privacy by using the bathroom - not to my face of course, but loud enough for me to hear. I’m guessing in the hope that I’d take the bait. Abused twice for, what I think, is not an a abusable offence is not what I came to Caravella for. She could have calmly told me I was using the wrong bathroom and directed me to the correct one and it would’ve been fine. It’s clear they’re living there, the bathroom was filthy and the sink was filled with used dishes and a pile of unwashed clothes on the floor. I ended up having to use the bathroom over near reception. Not ideal. My first stay in the other block was lovely, there’s a nice courtyard, the people were lovely and it was tranquil. But the side where I was put reminded me of the council flats in Melbourne and it’s not somewhere I want to stay again. If you do decide to stay here, request room #49 - that was a nice room with a comfy bed.

On the first night we discovered the TV in our room had a smashed screen and the bed was so old you could feel every spring. Second night we were moved to another room, TV worked but there was no internet so you couldn't access any of the apps on the smart TV, free to air only. Morning of day 4 we went to make breakfast at 7.45am and couldn't access the guest kitchen (which ic in the pool area) as the pool gates were still locked. The guest kitchen has next to no equipment for cooking anyway, 1 spatula, no tongs, no knives, 1 usable small frypan, an electric frypan that doesn't work, a toaster, microwave and kettle. The sign on the back of our room door says no food in the rooms, but if there are no facilities to cook or keep food outside of it, then you can't comply. The bed in the second room was more comfortable and the rooms were clean. The shared toilets were clean, but the shared showers need some serious attention on the mouldy grout. Very run down place, the a/c and ceiling fan worked, the fridge, kettle, microwave and TV worked. Pool was great, hot tub worked, but the rest of the facilities were either non-existent or in terrible disrepair. This resort really needs some money invested in repairs and replacing items used by the guests. The photos on the website were obviously taken years ago when this would have been a lovely resort with a bar and Cafe which are now closed indefinitely. Trip typeHoliday · Couple Rooms1.0Service1.0Location1.0 SafetyAt 1.30am a guest in another room had stolen the fire extinguisher from the foyer and it exploded in his room. Dry powder was spread from the room, to the hallway, toilets and under other doors. The fire alarm and evacuation notice sounded at 1.50am, while standing in the evacuation area with the other guests at 2am, the culprit was nowhere to be seen and the night caretaker didn't even do a head count of guests or check that everyone was out! What if there had been a fire? That was Wednesday night, it is now Friday morning and the extinguisher has not yet been replaced, so there is nothing to use on the ground floor if a fire started.

The place was freshly painted and extremely clean, beds so comfortable . It was a paradise to stay in even compared to hotels I have paid much more for in the past. We went on a waterfall bus trip and listened to others complaining about the places they were staying being dirty, pillows in adequate etc and we could only say Travellers Paradise was so clean and comfortable!,! The host Peter was also extremely helpful at all times!
