I first stayed here in january 2012 before i started farm work in closeby mareeba.wasn't expecting anything good for the price but i was on a strict budget! was greeted by a lovely young girl who instantly made me feel welcomed!

room was a 4 bed dorm,loads of space and really clean.free meal at a nearby bar made it all the better.

Since january i have stayed at corona several times and wouldn't consider anywhere else.I've also booked several trips through the hostel.the young girl called amy went to a lot of trouble for me to get them all booked and took the time and effort to talk to me
about it all,made it a much more personal and friendly service! she seemed genuinely interested in my plans unlike the comission hungry people at backpacker travel shops!

cant recommend it enough!

I stayed here March 2012 and I really liked it. The price was brilliant and you got a free meal each night what more could you want. I was in a 8 bed female dorm and it was fine everyone in the room got on great from the start which is a huge plus. It was very very warm in the room at night as it was the wet season so get a top bunk if you're staying that time of year.Each room had a fridge which I liked because you weren't worrying that somebody was going to steal your food from the main kitchen which i should add is small but you get everything done in it that you need to and when you have a free meal elsewhere you're not in the kitchen very much. The guy that owns the place, sorry I can't remember his name but he was brilliant, great for a chat and very easy going. If i was going back I would definately book back in here it's close to everything with great people working in it! What more do you want!

Room tip: I was in a 8 bed female dorm which was right beside the communal toilets which was great, I seem smaller more intimate rooms for couples.

I came to Cairns two weeks ago and made a reservation for Corona Backpackers online.
Best decision : low prices, clean, fun staff.
Located just 5 min walk from the beautiful lagoon. Just opposite (the way more expensive) Gilligans where you go on a night out. Walking distance to all clubs and pubs around.
Rooms, floors, baths and kitchen get cleaned every morning - one of the cleanest hostels I have been in.
What I really like about Corona's is that it's not too big. You get to know a lot of people - it feels like your new little family after a few days!
A nice feature is as well the dinner vouchers for a free meal at Woolshed every night.
Every room has its own fridge (no searching for your food in big disgusting community fridges anymore) and for a few bucks more even aircon :)!

All in all if you're searching for a great hostel to stay for a small price - that's the place to go!

Cheers, Line

Room tip: I would pay the two bucks more a night and take a room with A/C

The hostel is cheap, clean, in a central position, and in the room there is all confort you need for a hostel. A small fridge, a fan or aircondition, a big window, and just 4 bed in avery room!!
And the hostel receptionist was very very helpfull and fanny with me. So very nice experience to be in the Corona.

Corona is really nice friends and I stayed for a month and everyone is very friendly, staff is really nice, they keep it clean and it's a really good price! Good location, right across from Gilligans but still a quiet hostel so you can sleep for those of you who are not partiers, highly recommend checking it out!
