    Staff is friendly, hostel was hard to find because entrance is quite hidden. Rooms are nice, but not so clean as I know it from other YHA hostels.

    The hostel was a reasonable distance from the main town area, if you don't mind a walk it's ok. The hostel was full of workers from a local bananna farm, so was very busy during meal times but very quiet during the day while they were at work

    Enjoyable stay in Cooktown with great weather. The room (Twin/Bathroom) I had was great and well appointed. Hostel court yard, pool and leafy surrounds create a relaxing and cool oasis during the heat of the day. Some walking is required to get to at

    Scott was welcoming and the hostel is value for money but I do not think this hostel really meets the usual YHA standard and I would prefer a quality campground. It should be cool in summer as all rooms are very closed in and it has a shady courtyar

    I have a real affection for Pam's Place. This was my 4th stay there. I enjoy Scott and Roy and the other staff. Cooktown is my favorite way place to end a long trip around Australia. Feels like home!

    I wanted to spend some days in Cooktown and Pams Place seems to be a good place for this. The motel is really far from city centre (30mn walking to reach the Esplanade), I've never seen a kitchen as dirty as this one, and it's not the "c
