Aside from requiring maintenance to 2/3 hand basins and regular topup of hand towels/soap, I cannot fault this hostel. ##### Bianca Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsea 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very quiet, stayed in a 2 person room with my friend. Simple & clean. Bathroom was great…lots of showers & clean. Felt very safe. No parking, so try the parking garage on Lake St, $12/day. ##### Chelsea Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Johan 20 Apr 2024 Very good location in Cairns. The room was quite spartan and noisy. ##### Johan Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Skaren 12 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My stay at The Village was wonderful, from the moment I checked in with Jonnie. He was super friendly and helped us at all times. Our trip to Cairns was to celebrate my mom's birthday, and I can say that we had a very pleasant experience. The place is quiet and well-maintained, exactly what is needed to relax and have a good time. ##### Skaren Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert L 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very good backpacker type of place In a central location, very close to both attractions and amenities (restaurants, bars, shops, bottle (liquor) store.) All star ratings are relative, i.e., based on this being a backpacker dormitory type of place. Needed a place to stay on short notice and was able to get room with just four beds and semi-private pair of toilet + shower rooms. People staying observed the 10 PM quiet hour start. The people out on the street, not so much. ##### Robert L Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, clean bathrooms, but no window in the rooms and therefore smelly and no fresh air ##### Victoria Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mahmut Ayberk 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### If you are booking a seperate room check details Booked a room didn't notice there was no en suit bathroom, it's my fault probably. Also no window so it sort of feels like a box, but it was cheap secure and clean. ##### Mahmut Ayberk Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Paid extra for the premium king private room and spent the whole time listening to slamming doors. The shared bathroom for the premium rooms isn’t lockable so be prepared to walk in on people on the loo or in the shower! Staff are great and location is central and it’s probably great if you’re in a dorm and on a budget but personally I wouldn’t stay there again. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All the front desk staff I interacted with were very helpful, warm, and genuinely cared about my travel experience and were very resourceful with recommending places and things to try. I arrived at 12am and the manager on call was very kind to check me in. The room smelled of a melting pot of body odour though... I wish there was better ventilation and a window. The place had pretty much everything you would need. I think the bathrooms could be cleaner. The staff alone made my stay enjoyable and it was definitely worth the cheap stay. ##### Kenneth Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matt 11 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Check in was great, friendly and quick. Only issue was coming back to the hostel at night when reception was closed, the app used to open the doors did not work. Rang the phone number but no answer. Another guest had the same issue until a third guest tried and the door opened. They rang back over an hour later once I was asleep. Had the other guest not been able to open the door, I would not have been able to get in. Yet the app worked to open the door to my room ##### Matt Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely lovely environment ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Geoffrey 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Little Drifter. Had a private room for rwo for four days. The room was entirely adequate but could've benefited with more hanging options for damp towels. ##### Geoffrey Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg 14 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff were outstanding and position to everything was excellent ##### Greg Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimb 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I love this area will be back when I back to carins ##### Kimb Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guy 30 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great central location, airy and spacious. ##### Guy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Looe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Looe-Hotels.d4386.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Senegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Senegal-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d158-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Melaleuca Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Melaleuca-Resort.h1142618.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Rumba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Rumba-Beach-Resort.h3688041.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Marquis-Hotel-Dubai.h5399338.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Langham.h78099407.Hotel-Information) > > [Noosa Tropicana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Tropicana.h3769240.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Exeter.h2636000.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Palazzo-Versace.h541927.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Colonial Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [W Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-W-Brisbane.h21612140.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Tropiq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Rainbow-Resort.h201315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vienna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels.d178316.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Paradise Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Paradise-Resort-Gold-Coast.h43437.Hotel-Information) > > [RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-RACV-Royal-Pines-Resort-Gold-Coast.h425456.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane-Airport-Hotel.h19295854.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Gold-Coast-Resort-Spa.h25943.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bay-Village-Tropical-Retreat-Apartments.h980056.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Plaza Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Stamford-Plaza-Brisbane.h460514.Hotel-Information) > > [Regency on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Regency-On-The-Beach.h1784811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal On The Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Royal-On-The-Park.h582734.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Brisbane Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Pullman-Brisbane-Airport.h19295763.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Brisbane-Central.h14677166.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) ### Activities ---
