Global Palace was refurbished from a cinema that was built in the early 1900s. The designers took great care to design a functional and practical building without sacrificing any of the comforts of home.
Its modern architecture and building materials along with the latest developments in fire detection also make it one of the safest hostels in Australia. The designers and operators understand that a hostel is a home away from home and that there is more to your comfort than just a cheap bed, it's the whole package that makes your stay in Cairns an enjoyable experience for you to remember for years to come.
They have spacious recreation areas, large kitchen and dining areas, roof top pool and sundeck, large and private shower facilities, and tropical balconies for you to soak up the tropics as you are meant too. The staff at the Global are local experienced people with a wealth of knowledge of Cairns and surrounding areas as well as Australia.
The staff enjoy what they do, it's not just a job, but a way of life that they all get a great buzz out of, they make a big effort to make sure you enjoy your stay and they want you to recommend them to everyone you meet, so their service advice and hospitality are second to none.
The information that they give you is honest, factual and usually first hand from their own experiences, with your budget as their first priority, they are aware that your holiday can be made all that much better when your experiences are fun and enjoyable and you haven't paid over the top for the experience. That's the Global Palace!
