Can I put 6 stars? :)
This place is definitely one of the best hostels ever. Where do I start from?
Reception: everyone is always super kind and helpful, including offering help with luggage and everything else. The hostel looks very new and modern, so beautiful!
Room: it's great! Big enough, with hangers, curtains on each bed (amazing!), plugs and light for every bed and also some extra plugs around the room. Bed was very comfortable and I felt great there!
Bathroom: always clean, soap in every sink and in every shower, big and nice!
Kitchen: incredibly well equipped and open 24 hours. There are 2 doors separating it from the rooms so it's never noisy even if people are there in the night. They provide big boxes that fit in the (many) fridges so that it's all tidy and clean. Goodbye the hundreds of Woolworths bags and messy fridges with no space for other people's food! Even the cups, the dishes were perfectly clean, like everything else. I was seriously impressed, they did the cleaning multiple times a day. Free salt, oil, tea and coffee always available.
Common areas: really beautiful, full of books, games, with a huge TV and many tables and beanbags.
Events: they actually organize social events and the staff helps the "new" people to socialize. That's so important! Many long termers don't really mind about meeting new people but if the staff does his part then it gets a lot easier. And here, they do. On my first night they had a free cheese and wine event and we got a lot of tasty food and wine.
Location: perfect, just above Woolworths and a few minutes walking from everything. The Little Drifter feels more like an hotel than a hostel and I really don't know how people can rate it low.
As great as it is I would still like to suggest some possible improvement. Maybe at the Reception you can print a map with a few info about the hostel on the back. I didn't understand where the boxes for the kitchen were, I didn't find the labels. Also it took me 3 days to find out that I had another toilet a lot closer to my room, so for 3 days I was crossing a very long hallway in the middle of the night when I had to go.
I also didn't like the fact that I had to open the doors through the app and I discovered later that there is a code to open it as well (I try to leave my phone in my room as much as possible).
This hostel is a little more expensive than other places but it's totally worth it! If I'll be back in Cairns I won't hesitate to come here. Thanks!

We’ve stayed at a The Village hostel in Canberra before and had a rather good experience, this was our first time in Cairns and we greatly appreciated their hospitality once again!
The hostel was huge, the rooms were very spacious and we overall were offered everything we needed (laundry room, all equipped kitchen, bathrooms, etc).
It was a short stay but we really enjoyed how close the hostel was from the local pool and night market!
It’s a 20-min taxi drive from the airport (note that there’s no public transport in this area of the city).
Would definitely recommend The Village overall, why not try some of their other locations in the upcoming future!

位於凱恩斯鎮中心,離海邊和大堡礁遊船碼頭都很近。比鄰大超市Woolworth,買東西超級方便。從機場打Uber過來,也就20刀左右。
廚房外的露台環境太好了,在熱帶地區就是應該在露台就餐,特別愜意。
每個床位都有床頭燈和充電插座,遮陽簾,非常方便。公共衞生間很乾凈。
室內的空調太冷了,第一晚宿舍有個咳嗽一夜的,吵得根本沒法睡覺,無奈之下我衹能跑到外面客廳沙發睡的…
唯一的缺點是前台服務人員,態度冷漠,也經常沒人。我下午5點入住,沒人,都是自助掃碼辦理的。遇到什麼事情,問staff,收到最多的回覆就是“I don’t know” 和 “it’s not my responsibility”.
