“Don't stay here unless you are a party animal/heavy smoker”

Reviewed 21 May 2012

Worst hostel ever!! I booked for 7 night, and I should be given a free night but the staff insist i cant have a free night as i booked through internet.... Most of the staff were slow and floppy, you can see lots of guest waiting in the reception always because the staffs work too slow. And most of them... More

Hi - thanks for taking the time to review our hostel - we are sorry that you did not have a good stay. I am not sure what the free night offer is that you mention - I can see from your account that you booked a room at a 30% discount online - when this happens no further discounts... More

Hi and thanks for taking the rime to leave a review - I am sorry that you were unsatisfied. We feel that $65 is a fair price to pay for a private double room - but we sometimes do online specials for $40 during midweek or quiet times. We definitely did not try to rip you off as $65 is... More

“a good hostel with lovly Staff”

Reviewed 12 May 2012

a clean hostel, very big but with a super pool, pool table and table tennis. The staff is very friendly. In the beginning, did not go around completely. But all in all happy again. Is just, unfortunately, not directly in the center, so one has to rely on the Shuttels, but the drive regularly. The Internet, unfortunately, costs much money.... More

“TERRIABLE!!!!”

Reviewed 12 May 2012

This hostel is the worst hostel I've ever stayed at!!! The bathrooms are disgusting, the staff steals from your room and are some of the rudest people I've ever met. Location is very far out of town and the shuttle has a dumb schedule. Rooms are dirty and you have no control of the AC. Smoking area is 10ft X... More

Well it pains me to even respond to this but as Tripadvisor refuse to take down your fake and libellous review I should say a few words - my staff do not steal and I would encourage you to think about saying things like this about people. Also we are quite aware who you are and if there was a... More

After travelling the East Coast I've stayed in a lot of hostels and so I can definitely tell that Nomads Serpent in Cairns is one of the most awesome hostels I stayed at. The service is really good they pick you up from the airport for free! I think service starts at the very beginning, so when I phoned reception... More

“Amazing”

Reviewed 14 April 2012

Serpent was the first hostel we stayed in when we reached Australia. The service was amazing, we got picked up from the airport for free and were made to feel right at home as soon as we arrived. The staff were always friendly and polite and would go out of their way to help you. We originally booked for 2... More

“Paradise for real backpackers”

Reviewed 11 April 2012

After traveling around Europe for sometime I have learnt if you want to party like a dog with the whole hostel 24/7 find something in the middle of town. You will join in (whether you like it or not) day and night but either pay top price or pay in a loss of quality. Best places are usually edge of... More

“Awesome Hostel!”

Reviewed 7 April 2012

I came to Nomads Serpent on the last leg of my vacation in Australia and of the numerous hostels I stayed at during my excursion, this one was, by far, the best. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly making the integration to living in the hostel and Cairns itself very easy and enjoyable. Though the hostel is a... More
