Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Fast check in, clean room, functional kitchen, quiet at night, fast check out.
Negative: Only one power point available in the room, located opposite wall to the beds. Ideally we'd expect power points to be near each bed or bed side table.
Summary: We had a great time while in Cairns and the YHA offered exactly what we're looking for.
