To start with, Port Douglas is SO beautiful and I highly recommend visiting. My partner and I are frequently using hostels and Global backpackers is definitely up there with the best. The check in was smooth and Clara was really efficient. She gave us a quick tour and the hostel has good space to chill as well as a good size kitchen and amenities. Laundry was cheap and the hostel also offered an amazing Meal deal for the bar next door (great food too). Our room was a double with an en suite which good air con and a TV! The bed was comfy, although slightly short for my 6'2 partner but we managed fine and it didn't effect his sleep. We ended up staying an extra night and would 100% go back. Thank you!

It’s a backpackers for sure, but we booked a double room ensuite. Came with towels and bedding, just bring your own soap. Well equipped shared kitchen, super close to al ost everything. Great discounts and meals at Rattle’n’hum resto downstairs. Clean and well cared for property, friendly guests.

We stayed in a double ensuite room while in Port Douglas for the night. The hostel and the room far exceeded my expectations for backpacker style accommodation. We (early 30s couple) chose to spend extra for a private room with an ensuite as my shared dorm days are well behind me. This was great value for money. The room and bathroom were clean, air-conditioned, not cramped, TV, comfortable bed. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for cheap and cheerful accommodation in Port Douglas.

J'y ai fait un premier séjour bien sympathique et lorsque je suis revenue à Cairns j'y ai séjourné à nouveau. Pourquoi chercher plus loin? Évidement c'est le confort d'une auberge de jeunesse pas d'un 3 étoiles mais pour le prix que peut on demander de plus?

My friend and I stayed only 1 day but it was great. The staff was very helpful, and friendly. Our room was clean, well managed with good air-con system. Also, the location is very good, close to many stores and restaurant, and to the beach:) highly recommended

Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura durante la nostra vacanza in Australia. La posizione è molto comoda e la nostra camera era abbastanza spaziosa. Il personale è gentile, disponibile anche se a volte è un po' preso con le altre attività che gestisce, quindi può capitare di dovere aspettare che qualcuno si faccia vivo.

Overall a good stay but lots of little niggles. Slightly broken facilities, lack of plug sockets and more passive aggressive rules signs than I have ever seen before! Staff are really good and always helpful - they are the highlight.

バンクベッドはけっこーギシギシいいます。 wifiは完全有料です。キッチンは広く、結構揃ってますが、宿泊者の使い方が汚いです。

Jason • Family Trip

Didn't think it was very clean. Room was small. Check in was crazy as our phones would not work and no one to talk to. Worked out there was a sister hostel and they were great sorted us out in no time. Can't rely on phones to check in guys. overpriced considering all the other better places we've stayed at in the last 3 weeks in Oz.

Location was great. Room had an ensuite. $95. Very unclean, pillows and mattress protector badly stained, clean top sheet stains, cobwebs even near bed, smelly entrance and room, rusty noisy fans etc

Handy to the main shopping area with limited parking but the cheapest ensuite accommodation we could find. Value for money but the communal kitchen is not kept clean by the guests who use it, so dishes pile up before staff come to clear up. Guests seldom wiped up the cooking area. Most of the guests seemed to be permanents on work visas.
