We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and friendly Global Backpackers is. It definitely has a party vibe and is a fantastic spot to meet other travelers. All of the staff are really friendly and helpful, were willing to offer advice for our group, and always helped out with good information on nearby restaurants, activities, and clinics. Clean kitchen, clean... More

I booked a single room and the room had one single bed, no windows and no ventilation. A little claustrophobic for Far North Queensland!

Hostel located in a very good position on the beachfront, close to many pubs, shops and the lagoon. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only problem is the cleanliness. The kitchen is spacious but always dirty. The floor of our bedroom (a double) was dirty when we arrived and remained dirty all the other days we were there. The... More
