    I accidentally booked the wrong room for a friend, but one of the staff members was kind enough to rebook me on the spot with one room knowing that it was a last-minute change. Everyone was very kind and amiable from the beginning. It was my first time at Cairns and I would love to come back and stay at Dreamtime.

    No space for the clothes in the room, a chair would be useful.

    Nice hostel, a bit far for the city center, but still walking distance. A woolworth is also 10 min walk and you can cook your own meal in one of the hostel kitchens.

    Hot water runs out quickly. If you want to shower using hot water, you have to shower early.

    Location is awesome. Near the Cairns Central. Nice and kind staff. Free street parking next to the hostel.

    The most peaceful, warm and welcoming place I have ever been. The people who are working there have always been so supportive and available for any needs. The place is very clean and everyone is very respectful. There are a lots of spot in which you can spend your time. If I will be ever come back in Cairns, I will definitely stay here, the home in which I left a piece of my heart.

    One minor inconveniences were the little fridge space. Everything I had, I was able to fit in but it was a tight squeeze. And the hostel is a 20 minute walk from the Esplanade.

    The owners were very nice! The place feels like a home more than a hostel. I was in a female dorm and it was very nice. Only single beds, so no bunk beds. It is a very wonderful and cozy hostel. Definitely would stay there again!
