This accommodation complex has clean and spacous studio apartments. However, the buuildings' corridors, stairwaays and lifts are showing their age with narrow passages and generally feel uncomfortable.

Ideal for my 1 night stay close to Cairns airport only a £10 taxi ride which considering there’s no public transport it’s ideal. Hotel is a little older so facilities are a little dated but overall very cleans comfortable. Eat at the Thai restaurant at the hotel great food.

Great facility, around a 25 minute walk from the centre of Cairns down the esplanade. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was great, had shampoo and conditioner and fresh towels every day. There are 2 pools, laundry facilities and a carpark. On our last day we checked out early for a snorkelling tour. Staff held our luggage and there were showers available when we returned for us to freshen up before our flight

The property overall was a good place to sleep clean and had laundry machine that we could use. It took coins but the front desk would exchange bills for coins easily. The wifi in our room was very spotty but worked on the rest of the property. They did oferr to move us but we declined. The water heater would go in and out of cold to hot over and over making showering difficult. Staff was friendly and helpful though to all our needs. They sent a service person to address issues.

Geräumiges Zimmer/Appartement mit allem was man braucht. Da der Fahrstuhl bei der Ankunft repariert wurde, mussten wir die Koffer tragen. Für unsere Rundreise praktisch waren Waschmaschine und Trockner (gegen Gebühr). Unser Balkon war über dem Restaurant, weshalb wir ihn am Abend nicht genutzt haben. Ansonsten ist alles gut erreichbar und es stehen genügend Parkplätze zur Verfügung. Gegenüber gibt es ein kleines Kaffee mit leckeren Frühstück.

Great customer service, large clean room, really handy having the washers and dyers and airers on each level as we had washing to do. There is a toaster, cutlery, crockery all in the room, a nice touch to have a cold jug of water in the fridge ready. We have paid a lot more to stay in “nicer” hotels but we absolutely loved this one, I would absolutely stay here again!

We were really pleased to have stayed in such a well cared for accommodation . The bathroom and bedroom were clean, nice sized outdoor balcony and very quiet even though we had a street frontage unit . It is about a 5 min walk to the nearest bus stop outside the hospital and a relaxing 40 minute walk along the waterfront into town.

Great, affordable hotel for travelers not wanting to break the bank with lodging. It’s fairly quiet (I know because I’m a light sleeper and has no problems). In fact the twin beds pulled together to make a king were quite comfortable. Odd that the room key is also the only way to turn on power to your entire room. So no charging anything or leaving the AC unit going while you’re out and about with key in hand. Didn’t partake of the Thai restaurant on property, but it sure looked popular. Great location if you don’t want to be in the middle of the CBD but want to walk there for restaurants, shopping, etc. (do walk the Promenade).
