The service was good and friendly, the beds were comfy. We were close to town and the pool was lovely and clean and inviting.

We were on the 3rd level, it was lovely to look down on the the pool. Unfortunately the stairs were a bit much for my mum and sister. when I first rang about the room, I thought they said we were on the bottom floor. Apart from that, we enjoyed ourselves.

Very central location which is walking distance from the esplanade, restaurants, bars and other attractions. There was a bus stop very close by which made accessing public transport effortless. The room is basic but has everything you need for a great nights sleep.

The location was absolutely perfect for me and my family especially the kids. Rooms were perfect for us as well as the beds. The apartment perfectly was suitable for our stay with swimming pool right at our doorway. Maria was so friendly in settling us in and assisted with house keeping etc.

Nothing.

Loved location, it was opposite Novotel which made booking tours really easy. Three car rental agencies either next to the accommodation or two/three shops away. Convenient entry, swimming pool was naturally shaded by trees (depending on time of day). It was a clean place. Beds were comfy though I wish pillows weren't so soft (personal preference). Maria was super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend for location, great value for money!

Wish our room would get new towels and toilet paper without having to ask

The property is a little dated but in such a convenient location. 10 minute walk to waterfront, 15 minutes to all boat tour jetties, restaurants, leafy parks & gardens. We felt safe in a secure property, requiring a code to enter from the street. 5 minute walk to bus stop to go anywhere in Cairns & up to Palm Cove. Get a weekly pass from bus driver, very affordable. Staff very helpful & friendly.

Air con only in bedroom but ceiling fans. I image it would be very hot in summer.

Although rooms are not new they are very clean and have all facilities for comfortable stay. Kitchenette we didn't use but was clean and well provided. Room was nice and quiet well back from main road. Location is ideal with waterfront, cafes, restaurants, car rentals, major shopping centres and railway station and main bus stop within easy walking distance.

Trivial but room had polished wooden floors and a carpet rug would have added to comfort, also, would have appreciated a reading lamp next to sofa.

We like that the Hotel Was close to everything and that the Staff were very Helpful. The Beds where commutable. Really Like the Space of the unit as well.

The Internet kept Dropping out all the time and made it hard of a night time to find something to watch.

Room was exactly as expected. This is budget accomodation in a great location. short walk to the Esplanade and all the restaurants. Building is an older place but that was expected. Room was very clean and with everything you would need or expect in a holiday rental. check-in was easy and the staff were very friendly.
