Hotel Calypso Inn Backpackers Resort (Cairns, Australia)

There is so much to do around this hotel.  Guests can choose to create their own entertainment with a refreshing swim in the large pool or with drinks at the on-site bar or they can participate in some of the organized activities that take place each day and evening.  Some of these activities include live entertainment and a reptile show.

Whether you prefer a relaxing getaway, all-out party or combination of both worlds, this hostel provides guests with a perfect balance.  The atmosphere is light and fun, it's easy to meet people especially if you are a solo traveller and there are plenty of private spaces to be alone and relax if you so choose.

Guests reported that the rooms at this hotel are cleaned to high standard and they feature comfortable beds and furnishings.  Also reported was properly-working air-conditioning that ensures the rooms are cool when it's hot outside.

Guests reported that there are a lot of insects in the rooms and around the hotel in particular lots of cockroaches and mosquitoes.

It tends to be quite loud around the hostel throughout the day but particularly at night when other guests continue to party and talk loudly late into the evening.  Also reported was loud music, loud footsteps in other rooms and in corridors and creaky beds that make lots of noise every time you move.

Guests reported that the shared bathrooms are not cleaned very well and there are only a few showers to be shared between many guests.
