Review by hotel critic
As a luxury travel blogger hailing from Brussels, Belgium, my recent stay at Espy Hostel in Cairns left me with mixed feelings. Positioned perfectly in the heart of Cairns, within walking distance to major attractions like the marina for reef tours, the location was undeniably convenient. The spacious double private room provided ample comfort, although the inability to adjust the air conditioning was a drawback. The keyless entry added a modern touch, but the lack of a sitting area or garden furniture in the room limited relaxation options. The shared kitchen and washing machine were practical amenities, ideal for budget-conscious travelers.The friendly atmosphere and opportunities to mingle with fellow guests added a communal charm to the hostel experience. While the presence of a pool was a pleasant surprise, the absence of adult-only areas may deter those seeking a quieter retreat.In essence, Espy Hostel offers a decent value proposition for budget-conscious travelers seeking a central location with practical amenities. However, those in search of a more luxurious experience may find the lack of personalized services and upscale facilities underwhelming.
