Had a really nice stay at this hostel. Felt really welcomed and respected by staff and other guests and the feeling in this hostel is like being at home with a big family! Definitely recommend, specially if you want to sleep well, everyone is respectful with quiet times which is perfect if you have tours early in the morning. Not a party hostel which was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you guys!

It was a little bit far from the supermarket like Woolworths. And i felt there are not enough toilets for the number of people staying there.

The staff were so kind and friendly, they provided all the rules and tips for the stay in details. The location was good, near the cbd of Cairns, every attraction was close to it.

For some reason it smelled like piss in my spot, noticed it when got to bed and tried to localize it but couldn't. No one was at the front desk at that time, so had to deal with it. The walls between the rooms are very thin and heard a lot of talks from the adjacent room in the evening. There was only cereal for breakfast, there had been some issues with food delivery but would've expected it to be handled some way, with fruits or something. Was ok for one night but wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.

Bed was comfy, the air condition worked nicely so it was a comfortable to sleep.

Nothing really

Stayed in a private room - nice and clean, don’t expect much as it’s still a hostel. AC worked well, fresh sheets, quiet overall. Facilities are well-maintained, has a proper kitchen which I didn’t have a chance to use

Stayed in January 2025

I only stayed one night in a 6bed dorm. The room was very untidy, but I also arrived late so I assume the other did not expect me to come. The air condition was on and the room was freezing.

The hostel was ok/good. The general area seemed to be cool, but as I arrived late and left early I did not use it.

Staffs are friendly and helpful plus there's a daily free breakfast :D

Wish there was more toilets and that the premises got renovated.

Curtains in bunk beds- uncommon in Cairns. Comfortable rooms, AC.

It's a hostel, manage your expectations accordingly.

It's a nice hostel, with great location within Cairns. The hostel itself is a very social one, and the added breakfast is just a bonus!

Sometime you get no hot water when you shower in peak time. And they didn’t provide blanket until you ask for one, and it’s quite cold at night with an AC

West side of the building which is 12 people room actually is more quiet, I have stayed in east side 2nd floor it was so noisy and the timber floor squeaky every time when people across outside the room! And you can hear clearly people speaking in the kitchen and yard. I like the bathroom is always clean and kitchen also good to use, plenty space if you not using in peak time. And also suitable for base, I got all my letters from the mailbox at reception.

Stayed in September 2024

Breakfast lacked variety and got boring after a few days And better lockers as they didn’t all have the ability to be locked!

5-10 mins from shops and bars, busses and trains etc, really chilled atmosphere nice staff and good facilities

Stayed in October 2024

I really appreciated the curtains on the side of the beds, the common areas are cool, good location, very good wifi, helpful staff and quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

The location of the place was great! The people working there such as Nadia and the manager itself were extremely nice and always present to help you and chitchat. The hostel itself is a very social one but very calm one. As a single traveler i met people very fast. The hostel was clean and the equipments were very good

Not the cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen at a hostel

Very comfortable sleep, curtain is great and comfy bed. Good vibes for non partying people. Staff also extremely friendly

Stayed in June 2024

There is only one bathroom. It is cleaned very often, which is very good in itself, but you often can't use it

Best Hostel in Cairns if you’re looking for a place to relax and chill. Everyone lives together like a big family. Staff were amazing. Loved the free breakfast and the common area!

Great stay at Mumma's Hostel, a family friendly hostel, extra points for the adorable French staff

Stayed in May 2024

Excellent location. Not too party heavy for the solo traveller. The English girl at reception (whose name I forget) was so cheery and lovely to chat to when checking in

The private twin room was a decent size but a little drab. No windows to the outside so no real sunlight was the worst thing. There was one window into a hallway, which had to be closed or everyone can see right in when they walk past. But this might not be the case for all rooms, only this one.

The staff were all really friendly and helpful. They offer a continental breakfast with a range of cereals, coffee, tea, and toast (with lots of vegan options too). The common areas are really spacious, and the pool was fun. I would definitely stay again if back in Cairns, as the vibe was nice and chill, not full of young party-goers like the rest are in the area.

Nothing to not like.

The lady one reception Lois, was very friendly. The man on the desk this morning (10th) was too. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The hostel was tidy and organised well. The breakfast was nice, and to sit and watch a movie was great too. The hostel was quiet and clean. They had a hair dryer in the girls bathroom, and was always topped up with soap and paper towels.

I booked this accommodation because I saw it had different events on each night (looking at pictures advertised) however when I was there I wasn’t aware of any events which would have been useful to help guests socialise with others more.

I liked that the 12 bed room was split into three sections so didn’t feel as if you were sharing with so many people. Free breakfast advertised that I saw lots use :) I liked that the accommodation had a pool although I didn’t get to use it because of the weather. Rooms were always cleaned and bathrooms always clean too.

Stayed in February 2024

All the common areas, the kitchen, the showers and the toilets were clean so often.

Stayed in January 2024

AC was really cold, especially at night (I actually got a cold from it…), the hostel itself is a very open space so a lot of heat gets in and it’s hot. You can hear the TV/common areas from the rooms. My room didn’t have a window to open.

This is a really nice hostel! Staff are very nice, kitchen well equipped with lots of spices and oil for everyone to use. Lots of fridges and free brekkie.
