The best hostel I´ve been in Australia, and in many aspects the best hostel I've been so far. The only downside you have to consider before booking with them is the location. Apart from that, I think it's near perfection. Anyway they run a free shutte to the city center every two hours or so, and by walking it's around... More

Hey, my name is Adrien, and I just stayed at Tropic Days for about 1 month. During my stay I had the opportunity to try all of the five 4 bed share dormitories(26$/n), as well as the tents(16$/n) and the futons(16$/n). All of the dormitories are very clean (cleaned everyday). I would recommand dormitory n°8 which is the most quiet... More

We would definitely recommend this place, the staff and owners are all very helpful and friendly. It's clean, we can't really comment on the rooms because we camped, if you do camp, you still get to use all the amenities as the people who stay in the rooms, plus it's cheaper! The pizza night was great, as was the free... More

This hostel was more like a home. It was clean and friendly, the BBQ on Monday was hilarious (Digeridoo competition) and eccentric (Meal). The tour bookings were well organized and a nice break from doing everything ourselves. We were fond of Lara! (: Though the location is a bit of a pain, the free shuttles make up for it easily....

Very good hostel, definetly recommendable. Don't miss Monday night's BBQ as they are a lot of fun, and you can get to taste a bit of the real Aussie Barbie, with Kangaroo, Croc, Emu, Barramundi meats, sausages and planty of salads!! Plus some entertainment with comedy and a Didgeridoo contest. Simply great. Our room was very cleaned and the staff... More

If you are visiting the Cairns area you MUST stay here! This place could not have been more perfect! We stayed three nights and would have stayed longer if we did not already have arrangements to pick up our campervan! It was a combination of the relaxing, tropical environment and the super friendly and helpful staff that made our stay... More

I'm a little late writing this review as I last stayed here about 5 months ago. This was the best hostel I have ever stayed at in my whole 4 years of being on the move travelling, which is why I've chosen to stay here twice. All the staff are awesome, really helpful and will go out of their way... More
