February 21, 2010

Globetrotters International Hostel - Cairns, Australia

This ‘apartment’ style hostel offers free wireless internet (certain times throughout the day), a small pool, spacious and well decorated double rooms and kitchens in each dorm room.

A short walk from The Esplanade (main restaurant / shops area), this hostel is quiet and a great find!

Cleanliness: A
