Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Epsy offers 24 hours service but you’ll have to contact them prior to checking in because you’ll need the entry code for the front door the mobile number should be on Google, this place is so underrated. The bunk set up consist of 2 mini fans and a personal night light! Very sturdy bunks 😉unlike YHA, Jacks and Gilligans. The staff were so helpful that I rebooked for another 3 nights. This place will now be my layover choice travelling out of cairns.

Summary: Family owned gem in the heart of Cairns city!
