Owner take care that it's quiet so it's also suitable for older backpacker who doesn't need to party every day. Although if you have a room in groundfloor, you hear every step from above. The garden is very nice and the AC is for free. Our room was spacious and clean.

Mattress was comfortable, though they seem a bit old. Nice lady at the front desk. Secure place, (you only get in with a key). Close to Cairns central station.

Overall this is a good place for a short term stay, we only stayed one night, value for money is good and the location worked for us as it was in walking distance of the train station. I think for the money it is difficult to critique too much, however there were no mirrors in the room or bathroom and hooks were very limited - these are quite inexpensive things to sort so could be really beneficial.
