Everything. So good. First time in a hostel that I didn’t sleep in a bunk bed. The kitchen / shower / toilets / living room were also really good and clean

The house was quaint and adorable, with very nice facilities. I could tell the owner had put a lot of work into making the place feel cozy. The double bed room was amazing, and I loved the property, inside and out. Everything was very clean and in working order, and the bed was super comfy. It was a fantastic place to rest my head after a long day of travelling and car problems. I would stay there again!

Hostel common area is large and spacious and is a good place to chill out or meet people. Was here during the cyclone and it held out well in the rains as well. Lots of bathrooms so you never have to wait and they are cleaned and restocked regularly

Very friendly approachable staff. Everything was very clean. Large lockers to put your stuff away. Relaxed and comfortable vibe. Kitchen was well equipped. There was a nice area to sit outside sheltered from the rain. I arrived late after checkin time but they gave me good instructions to be able to let myself in. Supermarket and mall just across the road . Close to public transport.

All hostels in Palm Cove

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
