"Gilligans Backpackers Hotel & Resort is not a peaceful base from which to explore Cairns -- it is a centrally located party hub with excellent on-site bars that attracts locals as well as backpackers."

"The ‘G spot’ is pricey, impersonal and very loud, but all rooms at this flashpacker resort have en suites and most have balconies."
