It was a hassle free check in . We were advised on how to get inside the hotel since our check in was quite late already. The room is so spacious and clean . The location is in the heart of CBD which was so convenient for us

I enjoyed my stay. The room was large. It had all the amenities I needed. The only thing I would mention is perhaps put a picture of the 18 stairs one negotiates with 23 kg suitcase. Add a picture of the stairs. I know you say no elevator but a picture of stairs is worth a thousand words.

The front desk is in another building about 100 meters away from the hotel.It’s really confused and very unconvinenc for travelers. Check out time is too early.

An easy property to stay in. So close to the coast and dining areas. Also walkable distance to shops. The stairs were a bit of a problem for us to get the suitcases up to our apartment. We are in our 70s. Room was very nice. Plenty of space. Bed a bit small and hard. Bathroom was fabulous. Great kitchenette. Some noisy road traffic if window open. Overall a great stay though.

This is an excellent option for a shorter stay in Cairns. It is central, very reasonably priced, clean and has a well stocked mini kitchen. The communication was great from booking to check out.

I was visiting Cairns by myself so I liked the fact that there were only 5 units and they were in a secure building. Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, a simple bed topper might help ? Also the housekeeping was only average. I loved the location, it was quiet and could walk to the beach, the shops, and the bus stop.
