凱恩斯吉利根背包客旅館和度假村(Gilligan‘s Backpackers Hotel & Resort)

There were cockroaches in the room. People were ********** at night inside the room.

1日目は雨だったせいか、かなり布団が湿気ていました！笑 本当に今までに無い湿気てるベッド！笑 気持ち悪すぎて寝れませんでした！笑 土地柄もあると思うので仕方ないと思います！笑 2日目は普通！気になるけど、晴れていたのでベランダの扉を開けて換気？して工夫しました♪ クラブ？が隣にあるみたいでかなーり盛り上がってます！ 私は気になりませんでした！ タオルは置いてないけど、フロントで聞くと貸してもらえます！ドライヤー等はありませんでした！(ドライシャンプー持っていっていたので、聞けばあるかも！) フロントに日本の方がいるので安心です♪ 布団の湿気以外は本当に普通です！ザ・ゲストハウスだと思います♪

Giligans the place to be in Cairns if you want to meet people and enjoy your time!

The personnel is helpful and friendly. The location is perfect and the bar/club is always busy. You can eat, drink and party all at the same place. The air conditioning in the rooms was a bit too strong, and there is no controller to modify it. It's a centralised system. The bed has to be done by yourself when arriving. Finding it done would be appreciated. A shelf and individual light in the bed would be really useful. The building is very big and has enough room in the common areas and kitchen (which is busy at any time). Services are fine overall.

Omg staying at this hostel was equally parts traumatic and entertaining. The best way to describe it is imagine if a problematic 60 year old man opened a hostel with a nightclub underneath, and all the social activities were designed with other problematic 60 year old men in mind. They don't seem to do any sort of gender balancing in the mixed dorm, one girl checked into my room in the middle of the night, because she was put in a mixed dorms with only men over 50. The social activities are old fashioned but not in a good way, I'm talking wet t shirt contests, pole dancing competitions, jelly wrestling. But honestly this hostel gave most of the girls staying here the ick so we ended up having movie nights on the girls floor, going to the market and Esplanade together and to the free gym. I actually had a good time, ironically. The facilities at this hostel are really good to be fair, the dorms were clean, they all had air conditioning and balconies (unfortunately you are not able to control the temperature of the air conditioning or turn it off when it is cold outside), they had large well equipped kitchens, a pool and a free gym. Even the nightclub was a good venue, but the social activities are like something out of the Wolf Of Wall Street. If they are going to be a sleazy venue they could at least hire Magic Mike dancers. But honestly they just need to get a new entertainment manager and this place would be fine. Location is alright, about a twenty minute walk to the Esplanade.
