100% recommend
To start with, Port Douglas is SO beautiful and I highly recommend visiting. My partner and I are frequently using hostels and Global backpackers is definitely up there with the best. The check in was smooth and Clara was really efficient. She gave us a quick tour and the hostel has good space to chill as well as a good size kitchen and amenities. Laundry was cheap and the hostel also offered an amazing Meal deal for the bar next door (great food too). Our room was a double with an en suite which good air con and a TV! The bed was comfy, although slightly short for my 6'2 partner but we managed fine and it didn't effect his sleep. We ended up staying an extra night and would 100% go back. Thank you!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Handy to the main shopping area with limited parking but the cheapest ensuite accommodation we could find. Value for money but the communal kitchen is not kept clean by the guests who use it, so dishes pile up before staff come to clear up. Guests seldom wiped up the cooking area. Most of the guests seemed to be permanents on work visas.

Clean, well located backpackers
It’s a backpackers for sure, but we booked a double room ensuite. Came with towels and bedding, just bring your own soap. Well equipped shared kitchen, super close to al ost everything. Great discounts and meals at Rattle’n’hum resto downstairs. Clean and well cared for property, friendly guests.
