The Hostelz.com Review
The Bellview is in a great location, right on the Esplanade. It's just a short walk to the Reef Terminal for the boat trips out to the Barrier Reef and Fitzroy and Green Islands. The hostel is also very near the lagoon for a swim or to listen to the free bands.

There are a number of bars and restaurants right on the doorstep. The hostel is very quiet even though it is on the main street. The rooms are set back around a pool and courtyard so you do not hear noise from the street. The atmosphere is actually quite subdued as the staff do their best to keep it quiet in the common areas at night for the convenience of their guests, even to the point of being fairly strict.

A kitchen and laundry room are available for the guests and there is a large TV lounge and a pool in the middle of the courtyard. The hostel is laid out very nicely with a lot of space.

Motel rooms are available as well as dorms and budget doubles/twins. The budget rooms are spacious and clean with a sink, but could do with a little modernization as they are quite small.

5  We stayed at the Bellview last week (11 to 14 May 2010) and we were totally surprised by the quality of the accommodation and surprised by the help of the staff. Here I have to mention Eric who was a great help. Thanks Eric and to all the other staff who worked behind the scenes.  , South Africa ()
5  Best place to stay in Cairns The Bellview is one of the best hostels I've been at in OZ. The staff is very friendly and gave me the best advice on tours and things to do in and around Cairns. They also have the best prices for tours in town. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it is nice and quiet. The rooms are very clean and spacious. All in all I had a great time and thanks to the Bellview team I loved Cairns and the surrounding area. Thanks Bellview-team. You made my stay!!  , Germany ()
5  I stayed at the Bellview for two weeks. It is very clean (the cleaners even make your bed everyday). the staff are amazing -- they know everything about the area, as they are all locals. They offer discounts off just about every tour and will make every effort to match prices of others so that their houseguests get the best prices. I paid $20 a night for a four-bed dorm -- it had free a/c between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m., a private bathroom, a fridge, and cupboards to hang clothes. It is a quite place but that's what I like, I just can't say enough good things about this place.  , England ()
4  I stay here last year in March. It was a very good place. I stayed at a single room. The interior was a bit old, but there was cleaning every day. Until 0.00 hours there was noise, because I was asleep above the kitchen. But after that is was quiet. There was also a fan in the room. Very useful!!  ()
4  Very nice place. Clean and comfortable. Great staff. Not a party place, which is part of the reason I enjoyed it so much.  ()
5  The Bellview is a wonderful, clean hostel — with a beautiful view. The rooms are big, and the staff are friendly. But you have to be VERY quiet after 10 p.m., which can be a bit annoying. Still, it's a lovely place indeed. I lived there for over two months!  ()
4  It was really nice to have professional staff for once! This is not for the party crowd. It's nice and quiet, clean, etc. We had a double and included in the price was an en suite bathroom, TV and fridge!! It's one of the best I stayed at in Oz!  ()
