An excellent economical stay

Stayed in a 4th floor room with an excellent ensuite - toilet and basin separate to shower room. 4 single beds, can chose single gender or mixed. Computers in reception/lounge area. New-ish 4 storey building, a self catering kitchen on each floor and well equipped. The bigger dormitories are on the lower floors, so busier kitchens and lounge areas. Good outdoor pool with lots of outdoor furniture. The accomodation is basically over the Gilligan’s nightclub which has something on every night. Rooms are not totally sound proofed but it was ok for me. Really convenient position, walk to most places. Also a few minutes walk to the bus stop. $1 all day bus travel for anyone. A great stay for young or older people.

Perfect for the traveller who wants it all within your fingertips. It is a 10min walk to the fleet terminal. If you are a light sleeper, do not book this place because there is a nightclub beneath the hotel that is active. Perfect for the party goer and it is central in town.

My room was a 4 person room which was decent overall. The pillows were small and not sufficient. The rooms a/c barely worked and the room had a damp / wet smell and feel the whole time. This is the perfect location in town if you want a party as they have stuff going on every night. The location is perfect for anything you would wanna do in town and the price was right for sure.

Okay visit

The place is okay, it’s a party hostel after all. The noise from the club wasn’t heard from our room but the party bus was so loud it was as though they were parked at the end of the bed 😂. Staff were pretty unhelpful, we were travelling as a couple. It could be that they are used to dealing with idiots/drunks all day so by the time you get there they aren’t very welcoming.

Hostel is large, loud and out of date.

This hostel has potential both on the accommodation side and the nightclub side. The events they put on in the nightclub are about 15 years out of date, wet t shirt contest, jelly wrestling competition, pole dancing competition, it reminded me of Christina Agueleria vs Britney Spears, and predictably the nightclub was full of almost exclusively men, it's not the sort of events that attract any women at all. The hostel had good kitchen areas, and a TV area on every floor, it would be good if the hostel/nightclub put on some more relaxed social events, because the hostel didn't end up being very social, people were a bit overwhelmed by the sexual nature of all of the social activities. Some more neutral activities like drunk bingo or pub quiz, earlier in the evening would have helped the hostel to be more social. Every room had a balcony and an ensuite bathroom which was nice, but in the room there was no control for the air conditioning which was always far too cold, and so the sliding doors onto the balconies was left open to warm up the room, and that meant the air conditioning was often broken. There are no lockers in the rooms either which is not ideal for a party hostel. Bed linen was provided and the beds were comfortable. But they didn't have privacy curtains, or a personal light, which again is the norm nowadays. They did have a plug next to every bed though. Room cleaning starts before check out at 9am. This hostel has potential but it is just out of date.

Party hostel for teenagers

It's a party hostel... Get onboard with it! But apart from that the private rooms are way overpriced for what they offer and you will be constantly treated like an 18 year old, regardless of age. Very annoying. Go somewhere else and head to Gilligan's for the party...you will be better off.

WOW! First impressions count and they really hit the nail on the head at gilligans, not only is it way bigger than i expected but it also comes with some incredible on site facilities! Met by friendly and professional staff at check in which made me feel very settled. Once i got to my room not only is it the biggest hostel room ive ever stayed in but also the best layed out, looked fresh and tidy and everything was clean! I was staying in a 4 bed female dorm, all single beds so no having to go up and down bunk beds cause lets face it theyre fun as kids but not great as adults. The room came with a good sized balcony with seating, a good sized wardrobe, enough room to store a big suitcase under the bed aswell as room around the bed, mini lockers and separate shower, sink and toilet so no having to wait to go to the toilet if someone is in the shower! Great A/C that keeps the room nice and cool! All the beds come with a light and 2 plugs as well as 2 usb sockets incase you forget your adapter. Ontop of all this each level has its own common area with comfortable seating and very spacious and then its own kitchen, also spacious and you actually have room to cook stuff unlike other hostels i have stayed in where you are having to share the same space. Just need to fix a few of the lights on the level as it made it a tad dark. Finally as i was only staying here for 5 days i spoke to the very friendly on site travel team who got me some great deals on my activities. On the whole i

Very lively spot! If you’re a backpacker in Cairns you have to stay here, it’s part of the experience! Everything is also super well run, easy check in, getting to the rooms, feels safe and clean! Personally stayed in a room for 4 people and it was nice that it wasn’t bunk beds, also the beds were very comfortable and larger then most other beds at hostels! I would definitely recommend staying here as it’s so convenient! Just be aware there’s lots going on and it will probably be a bit loud at night so we at plugs will help!

Wonderful place and great price!

It’s amazing here. The staff are wonderful and the beds are new and the carpet in the rooms is new. The rooms are clean and new and have A/C. Now that said, it is still a hostel. Lots of young people here having fun. So if you want a conventional hotel it’s not for you - but they also don’t hold themselves out as a conventional hotel. However I have stayed in a lot of hostels and this is by far one of the nicer, newer, cleaner ones I have ever stayed in. Would absolutely return here and stay again.

Was pretty decent

Booked a private room with en-suite bathroom. Was great to have privacy after a long flight to Cairns. Room was great and clean, with other amenities like a kettle and mugs, iron and board and a small security safe. Downsides were that the shower door didn't fully shut (so the bathroom floor flooded a bit), one of the overhead lights didn't work, and you couldn't control the air-con strength or temperature so it was a bit cold for my liking. But extra blankets were provided, so was all good!

The property was fine. My deluxe room was two twin beds pushed together, causing an uneven line down the center. I received new towels each day but never received new mugs/cups/coffee/tea. The wifi was horrible in my room and I always had to take calls in the common area which I found super uncomfortable. The staff was very friendly at the front desk during check in & check out! The property would be extremely loud at night due to other visitors (slamming doors, screaming, etc) throughout the night. The location was the best part. Overall, it wasn’t bad for the price but I would most likely book elsewhere next time.

The best set up you will ever find.
Not only is there a great pool and bar; the layout is amazing, and every day has a different themed party.
The atmosphere is sensational, and you also have the option of staying in a hotel room which is spacious and on par with non-backpacker options. So you can get the best of both worlds in enjoying the social experience while having your privacy and space in your room.
A great and fun place to stay, and I can’t wait to go back.

This was a huge party hostel, with a big bar, club, pool & shops nearby. The rooms were big, air-conditioned & clean. The four-person rooms come with a shower inside, the washroom didn't have hand soap but besides that it was good.

Disappointing

They had comfy beds and good A/C. The music from the night club across from the hostel was unbearably loud and it made it impossible to sleep every night. Also, my sheets were not changed on my bed when I arrived. I am very disappointed in the housekeeping services and the noise level of this hostel.

Party hostel with nice facilities

Gilligan’s is a gigantic hostel with a great pool and a massive bar/club. It was clean and the facilities/pool/kitchens were nice. I could hear the music from the club in my room though that didn’t prevent me from sleeping, however I understand that if your room is right above the bar it is REALLY loud. Overall, I would recommend this place for people who are looking to party HARD, not people who want to wake up early for tours and things. It’s also so huge that it can be difficult to meet people... the vibe is a little impersonal. It is a great place for what it is, you just have to understand what you are signing up for. If you want to party, this is your spot.

Brilliant place to stay for young people. Lots to do and very much a hub for everything. Only bad point is air conditioning is controlled by the desk so had to keep asking them to turn the heat up as was freezing.

Good deal for the price.

This is a party hotel mostly for backpackers, but we booked the private king room. The view of the city from our balcony was nice. The hallways and room smelled musty, but were clean. Furniture was dated, but comfortable. The bar/restaurant had great deals for good and drinks...and the quality of the food & drinks was good. For the price, this was a good deal.

I didnt realise the party reputation of the hotel ans was a bit put off by the 'jelly wrestling' being shown the day i arrived, but i only had 1 night here and was fairly jetlagged so chose to just crash. The beds were comfy, the hotel style room was spacious, and i wasnt aware of any noise overnight.

I wasn't sure what to expect at Giligan's. I booked the Deluxe Room. It had a King bed and was very spacious. We stayed in two different rooms over 3 nights. They both had a large room, fridge, bathroom and nice balcony. They were very clean and quiet. They are located away from the Disco, so pretty quiet. There is a large backpacking type of crowd. Most of them stay in the hostel style rooms. They are an entertaining group and keep to themselves. Great room for the money.

Not what I would have chosen for myself.\n\n

Granted I was staying there with a group and my accommodations were payed for by them, however if I had had the choice I would not have stayed at Gilligan's. Nothing personal but a place like this is for teenagers and college aged backpackers. Not my cup of tea.. I would have loved it if I were still 19 !

It's a backpacker's resort completely geared around partying and getting wasted every night. The rooms are pretty uncomfortable and the random people you'll be sharing them with can be really annoying, but if you're staying at Gilligan's, you really shouldn't expect to spend any time in your room beyond showering and sleeping. Pool was okay, bar is nice but expensive.

The room was a terrible mess and didn't look like it had been cleaned for a week. The staff was rude and kept having intern conversations while I was checking in, very unprofessional. The kitchen was not well equipped (no oven for example), dirty and had bugs crawling around.
