Wan nait stay afda a leit flait
Mi had wan great stay long Little Drifter Cairns. Di rum was clean, comfortable, an well-kept, makin it easy fo settle in. Di location was very convenient, right next to Woolworths an di banks, which made everything accessible.
Wat stand out most was di service during check-in. Di front desk staff was extremely friendly an helpful — em even help mi wid mi luggage an personally show mi to mi rum, which mi really appreciated.
Overall, mi would definitely recommend Little Drifter Cairns to anyone visiting. Great value, great location, an excellent service.
OK stay got everything yu need, can get noisy from oda travellers
Can get noisy from oda travellers if dem no considerate. Fo wan hostel, di bunk beds each got curtains an dem own private side light. Di windows no open so yu no get fresh air. If got fire in di confusion, mi no know how fo get out. Fo those sensitive to noise, ear plugs work well. Mi ask about hiring wan car/van which sleeps two, at di time of di year mi went in August, hiring wan van an sleep in dere is wan much cheaper an more comfortable option. Di day trips are so expensive, wan van at $59 a day an $30 daily insurance which totally covers yu for everything was wan much better option which mi no know about at di time. Di car rentals an everything else go up in di high season. August is wan cheaper time an still warm fo Cairns.
Di hostel got kitchen facilities, provide ample pans, cutlery, cooking oil, salt, pepper, refrigeration an clean bathrooms. Di staff was helpful. Woolworths was very close, so was di water front.
Beautiful refurbishment, great amenities an can’t beat di location!
Beautiful refurbishment, amenities an location!
Truly di spot couldn’t be better located within Cairns, an fo being wan “hostel” style accommodation, it was beautiful an new feelin wid great bathrooms, AMAZING showers, an wan really well-appointed living an kitchen area. Di design elements was thought-out nicely, an dere was also elements fo fun/social bonding such as games/events/bean bags an more. Mi would definitely stay here again. No accessible/no elevators so if yu no able-bodied or in wan wheelchair, yu’ll need fo look somewhere else. Wasn’t a problem fo us but mi would need fo keep in mind traveling wid friends.
Di cardless/digital keys could be fussy on di bottom/main door. Several people including us had trouble gettin it fo work afda check-in. Rooms always worked fine fo Bluetooth unlock though.
Di private room being right next to bunk rooms made it a bit noisier, mi would’ve thought dem cluster private rooms together? But overall di accommodation did a great job at quiet hours wid lights off in main areas quite early, so it didn’t bother us too much but mi could see how it might on a big weekend.
