    I gotta say, the value for money at this place was amazing! The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, with a supermarket and food places nearby, and a beautiful beachfront walk to the city center.

    The breakfast selection could use some improvement, maybe adding some more options to choose from.

    I recently stayed at JJs in Cairns for my budget-friendly trip. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to help. The clean and basic rooms were comfortable, though I recommend paying extra for aircon. The location was convenient, with nearby shops and a scenic 30-minute walk along the beachfront to the city center. The free shuttle was also available, but I enjoyed the walk too much to use it. Will definitely stay here again!

    Can recommend this hotel.

    The rooms at Jjs Backpackers Hostel are super cozy and comfortable. I absolutely loved the fan, it kept me cool during the warm Cairns weather. The shared bathroom facilities were always clean and well-maintained. It was great having a microwave in the room too, perfect for a quick snack or heating up leftovers. I felt right at home!

    Personally, I would have preferred to have a private bathroom. But hey, that's just my preference.

    I had an amazing time at this hostel! The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist me with any requests I had. They even helped me reschedule my diving course when my flight was delayed. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the common spaces were well-maintained. The wifi worked perfectly fine during my stay, and they were even upgrading the speed for future guests. The location was convenient, with a 20-minute walk to the city center or a free shuttle service provided by the hostel. I also loved meeting other friendly backpackers during my stay.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    The hostel provides a complimentary shuttle into town, which is really convenient. the double rooms are comfortable, and the air-con option is worth the extra cost. Basic breakfast provided.

    Felt right at home, no complaints.

    The location of the hostel is convenient, with a free shuttle service that can take you to the city every hour. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing discounts for tours and other services. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with basic amenities such as a fan. The kitchen, restroom, and shower rooms are also kept clean, ensuring a pleasant stay.

    The internet signal in the rooms may be weak, but it works fine in the common area.

    I had a great time during my Easter getaway! The staff was super friendly and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. The room was clean and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day of exploring. Plus, they had a shuttle service that made getting around the city a breeze. Not having to worry about transportation was a huge plus. The hostel also had discounts for tours and other services, which was a great way to save some money while still having an amazing experience.

    While overall I had a fantastic stay, there were a few minor setbacks. The internet signal in the room was a bit weak, so I had to go to the common area to get a better connection.
