Advantages: Location, facilities

Disadvantages: Rooms are basic.

Global Palace, 86/88 Lake Street

Location: excellent, right in the heart of Cairns, and walking distance from pretty much everything. My friend and I chose this place solely based on the fact that it was above a Mexican restaurant (Buckin' Mex). Most trips will pick up from here.

Rooms: 3, 4 or 5 beds in a dorm. Twin and double rooms also available. No bunk beds. Rooms are basic, but that's what you expect from a hostel. All include ceiling fans - a must have in Cairns! Prices start at $17 ($16 with a VIP card).

Facilities: pool, kitchen, balcony, TV, internet, luggage storage, table tennis and pool tables.

Staff: helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Also contains a travel desk in the reception area.

Overall: a huge hostel, very good standard. Trying to watch TV in the lounge was a bit difficult with a bunch of very loud, drunk people on the balcony, however. Excellent value for money.

Summary: Highly recommended!
