Can I put 6 stars? :)
This place is definitely one of the best hostels ever. Where do I start from?
Reception: everyone is always super kind and helpful, including offering help with luggage and everything else. The hostel looks very new and modern, so beautiful!
Room: it's great! Big enough, with hangers, curtains on each bed (amazing!), plugs and light for every bed and also some extra plugs around the room. Bed was very comfortable and I felt great there!
Bathroom: always clean, soap in every sink and in every shower, big and nice!
Kitchen: incredibly well equipped and open 24 hours. There are 2 doors separating it from the rooms so it's never noisy even if people are there in the night. They provide big boxes that fit in the (many) fridges so that it's all tidy and clean. Goodbye the hundreds of Woolworths bags and messy fridges with no space for other people's food! Even the cups, the dishes were perfectly clean, like everything else. I was seriously impressed, they did the cleaning multiple times a day. Free salt, oil, tea and coffee always available.
Common areas: really beautiful, full of books, games, with a huge TV and many tables and beanbags.
Events: they actually organize social events and the staff helps the ”new” people to socialize. That's so important! Many long termers don't really mind about meeting new people but if the staff does his part then it gets a lot easier. And here, they do. On my first night they had a free cheese and wine event and we got a lot of tasty food and wine.
Location: perfect, just above Woolworths and a few minutes walking from everything. The Little Drifter feels more like an hotel than a hostel and I really don't know how people can rate it low.
As great as it is I would still like to suggest some possible improvement. Maybe at the Reception you can print a map with a few info about the hostel on the back. I didn't understand where the boxes for the kitchen were, I didn't find the labels. Also it took me 3 days to find out that I had another toilet a lot closer to my room, so for 3 days I was crossing a very long hallway in the middle of the night when I had to go.
I also didn't like the fact that I had to open the doors through the app and I discovered later that there is a code to open it as well (I try to leave my phone in my room as much as possible).
This hostel is a little more expensive than other places but it's totally worth it! If I'll be back in Cairns I won't hesitate to come here. Thanks!
TTaslimul這家位於美人魚咖啡館,來黃金海岸參加會議,住在Broadbeach地區,從黃金海岸出發的早班飛機,想在最後一晚離機場近一點。但發現這個地方很舒適,靠近另一個海灘。它位於坦博林街巴士站附近,交通便利,從那裏可以乘坐Bust # 777到達機場。有海鮮和其他選擇的餐館非常近。Camden Motor Inn 酒店也方便客人前往美人魚海灘。
前台非常有幫助,入住很順利。她還根據我的要求打印了我的航班登機牌。似乎設施不太好,因爲他們掛了信息,他們的游泳池沒有加熱,洗衣房沒有秩序。但是一進房間發現挺不錯的,空間臥室,牀舒服乾淨,佈置的廚房很好,給我留下了很好的印象。
住的不錯,很值得我付出的價格。
YYashin RahmanI have no complaints on the amenities and services, they were average compared to the cost..but only problem that made me out of mind is their parking system, first of all their parking lines are incorrect, i dont know there were some outsider parking as well or they dont have sufficient parking spot. I was there for 4 day 4 night and I just got parking there only once…we have got lot of stuff to load and unload and it was frustrating to do so without having parking spot. I used to arrive at night by 7-10pm, and no parking available, at last day after complaining they showed us a vacant area to park which is out of the spot and not enough space to get in there to park my car…They should focus on their Parking space before inviting more guests in their motel…For the amount I paid to them, I dont expect much amenities and they didn’t even came up something extraordinary, but at least I deserve one parking spot allocated.
