Hotel 2-Star di Queensland, Australia

I was expecting better experience since I’m staying in an ensuite room, but the bathroom didn’t provide any shower amenities, and the room was quite messy — possibly because of other tenants. When I entered the room in the afternoon, there was no air conditioning, so I had to walk to the front desk to report it. The receptionist was very professional, and I appreciate her helping me contact a technician. By the way, the entrance to the ensuite requires going through the restaurant next door to access it. Near the surfer paradise.

Near to bus stop and good for a short stayover. A very basic backpackers, electric socket is not enough for every bed though. Bunk bed is shaky not good for light sleeper, you can feel the movement from lower bunk.

Good location Great amenities - free breakfast which was great and items were kept well stocked, music, pool, lounge area / terrace Showers could do with a bit of updating and bath mats would be helpful There were no hooks to hang anything from in our room which was really inconvenient

Room was nice and clean! About a 20/30 minute walk to the ferry terminal but bus stop was about 3 minute walk from hotel. Had a pool on the roof which was great, nice view too.

Asked for the quiet room. Got the room18 up the end of the corridor and also next to the road and also next to the emergency exit. Wasn't that quiet but was ok. Room, toilets amd kitchen was very clean and new. Good place to stay but just look at the room you pick

위치에서 한개뺀이유는 위치는 진짜 좋은데 조금 가파른 언덕이 있습니다. 또한 시설이 오래된 흔적들이 보이기도 했고 특히 주방공용이라 관리가 좀 어렵습니다 그거 제외하면 친절하고 언덕제외 위치가 좋다고 생각합니다 재방문의사 있습니다

Always a great getaway place to go to. Very peaceful and stress free. Facilities are what you would expect from a country hotel and the newly completed bathrooms are a bonus. Unrestored and charming hotel with great artwork everywhere. Excellent meals in the evening and a very good diy breakfast provided in the dining room.

Can I put 6 stars? :) This place is definitely one of the best hostels ever. Where do I start from? Reception: everyone is always super kind and helpful, including offering help with luggage and everything else. The hostel looks very new and modern, so beautiful! Room: it's great! Big enough, with hangers, curtains on each bed (amazing!), plugs and light for every bed and also some extra plugs around the room. Bed was very comfortable and I felt great there! Bathroom: always clean, soap in every sink and in every shower, big and nice! Kitchen: incredibly well equipped and open 24 hours. There are 2 doors separating it from the rooms so it's never noisy even if people are there in the night. They provide big boxes that fit in the (many) fridges so that it's all tidy and clean. Goodbye the hundreds of Woolworths bags and messy fridges with no space for other people's food! Even the cups, the dishes were perfectly clean, like everything else. I was seriously impressed, they did the cleaning multiple times a day. Free salt, oil, tea and coffee always available. Common areas: really beautiful, full of books, games, with a huge TV and many tables and beanbags. Events: they actually organize social events and the staff helps the ”new” people to socialize. That's so important! Many long termers don't really mind about meeting new people but if the staff does his part then it gets a lot easier. And here, they do. On my first night they had a free cheese and wine event and we got a lot of tasty food and wine. Location: perfect, just above Woolworths and a few minutes walking from everything. The Little Drifter feels more like an hotel than a hostel and I really don't know how people can rate it low. As great as it is I would still like to suggest some possible improvement. Maybe at the Reception you can print a map with a few info about the hostel on the back. I didn't understand where the boxes for the kitchen were, I didn't find the labels. Also it took me 3 days to find out that I had another toilet a lot closer to my room, so for 3 days I was crossing a very long hallway in the middle of the night when I had to go. I also didn't like the fact that I had to open the doors through the app and I discovered later that there is a code to open it as well (I try to leave my phone in my room as much as possible). This hostel is a little more expensive than other places but it's totally worth it! If I'll be back in Cairns I won't hesitate to come here. Thanks!

Overall a good stay. Lucky enough to have only 2 person in a 8-bed female dormitory.
