All beds in one room is not suitable for traveling with older teenage children. Aircon didn't go but fans were ok. Included breakfast was very basic. ie no option for toast or anything other than cereal. Also linen but no bedding supplied. It was hot enough that it wasn't a problem but a blanket or two would have been nice. Probably a good place for younger people traveling but I wouldn't stay there with a family again.

Very cheap, clean, friendly place.

Mattress was a bit lumpy. Few things in room needed updating but for price all good.

Dirty smelling room with shabby broken bed linings, no towels at all, a down run backpacker motel.

No Blankets No fridge in room old and shabby only suitable - at a strech - to backpackers

I had to ask for everything including bedding, for $89 a night I expected more

The location was good for our purpose.

The parking was difficult - It was described online as more of a luxury hotel/motel style accom, and was def a backpackers hangout. When we arrived we were given a room with 5 Beds, but no bedding. Then I inquired at reception and was given 2 very small blankets and array of mis matched sheets.... I told the clerk, (who was very nice) that I had 2 small children with me needing to get warm on this winters night and that this would not be sufficient..so he kindly gave me 4 more sheets to use as blankets. Luckily one of my daughters had left a sleeping bag in the car from a previous trip so we were able to share that...The price was more than our usual stay at the Cairns Colonial Inn which includes a full buffet breakfast. The room also had no towels or soap in the bathroom. Prob wont stay again.

Overpriced for such a sparse room

The friendly atmosphere in the open area, where you can play pool, have a swim, have a few drinks n a bite to eat.

The appearance isn't that great and doesn't give you a very good first impression but it was clean so didn't really bother us afterwards.

Price, good for backpackers.

AC and fans barely worked, during Summer in Cairns... 30 minute walk to the city center, cockroaches in the room.

This was a really nice place.Staff at Beach House are a fun and young bunch of people. They were very helpful and always happy to assists with our queries, especially manager Lisa. The atmosphere in the hostel was also very friendly and we felt very welcomed. The bar offers a good variety of chilled drinks for a good price too. The pool is cool too and saves you on a hot day.They also have a free shuttle that takes you into and from town.(only 10 minutes drive)

The kitchen facilities aren't the best as there weren't enough pots and pans and cutlery for everyone to use. Although the kitchen was being cleaned every day it did put us off cooking in there. A bit of refurbishment and replenishing of kitchen utensils would make a big difference to it. We ended up going out for dinners because of this.
