Wonderful place! It's very basic (no common room, no TV lounge, no computers), but it's so nice and cosy and everybody knows each other. Staff are very friendly and helpful and it's $16 a night only, you can't beat that! The best place to stay in Cairns. Try to get a bed on the second floor.

Wow, what a wonderful place! Corona has a nice, familiy-like atmosphere and you'll feel like home there. It is extremly basic, but also extremely cheap! The rooms are quite spartanic, but they have everything you need, even a fridge and a basin. There are no air-cons, but fans are okay. The kitchen is sweet and clean. Unfortunately there's nothing like a common-room or a TV lounge, but you cannot expect more for 16 dollars a night. One star minus, because they just raised the price to 18 dollars a night... Still one of the best places to stay in Cairns. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

This is not the most luxurious but it's the nicest hostel I have ever been to. It is extremely cheap and the atmosphere is brilliant. The owner and the staff are so cute and I highly recommend this hostel to anyone who likes a homey atmosphere.

Great place, right in the center of town, with a nice atmosphere. It's pretty small and hence personal, Yup, it's definitely a cool place. It has decent sized rooms and a fridge also. The only downside is that there is no TV or relaxation room, but you are bound to meet people here.

Kara, you are an absolute star. I had a great time at this hostel. It's close to the action, homely, cheap, and clean and the staff are great. The kitchens are especially social. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I know where I'll be coming to stay the next time I'm in Cairns.
