We took all of our family to Cairns for my 60th birthday so we needed two 3 bedroom apartments I called the apartments and talked to Anna she was amazing did everything for us to make my family feel comfortable nothing was problem for her and she went out of her way for us. The rooms were huge well appointed and clean and tidy, the facilities were fantastic and the closeness to Cairns Central shopping centre was bonus as well as access to all the tourist sites that you need to do in Cairns. Thank you Anna

I booked and pre-paid for three nights at this property - but would gladly have moved out immediately had I been able to do so. Reception seems to have very loose hours - I never saw anyone staffing reception. The carpet was stained and marked, the curtains were filthy and did not close properly. Doors and walls had crudely patched and repainted repairs. Garden bed was full of discarded cigarette butts and other litter. Bathroom taps were very hard to turn off - so drips were a constant source of annoyance. Laundry floor filthy. Ceiling lighting: 2 / 4 out of action. I asked Manager to repair or replace. No action. No response. No room servicing. Internet said this place had a restaurant and bar. Nope. Closed. A/con unit did not heat - but was so noisy I would not have used it even it it did heat the room. A very unpleasant experience all round. Do not stay at this property.

Un hotel buen situado, muy practico , habitaciones calidad-precio geniales y lo mejor la persona que gestiona el hotel : Peter , que te hace sentir como en casa y te hace más feliz . Dispuesto a dar servicio en todo aquello que hemos necesitado y con una enorme sonrisa y simpatía. Da gusto encontrar personas así por el mundo ☺️

Good location, and only a short walk from shops, bars, restaurants and the reef cruise terminal. Large rooms with all things you would need for a short stay although the room we stayed in was dated. I believe there is a room modernisation programme on the go. Quite noisy at night, not sure if it was coming from the hotel bar area on floor 3 or from a nearby establishment. Our room was on floor 10 and even with the balcony door closed it still kept us awake. Staff were pleasant and helpful and rooms serviced daily. We booked this hotel in July 2022 with breakfast included. It came as a surprise to us when we took breakfast on the first day that we only had limited choice from the menu. All other items including larger breakfast items, juice and coffee were charged extra. Due to time limitations on the first day we left it till later to complain. Reception explained that there had been a change of management and had discontinued the buffet breakfast in favour of an al a carte one. They phoned the restaurant and authorised full breakfast free of charge for us. As we had paid cash for extras the previous day, this was now lost. We always check booking.com and trip advisor reviews before making reservations. My advice would be to ignore those prior to July 2022 and especially ones that mention breakfast.

I left another local hostel after one night as it was just too noisy - I wanted a place for a good rest so that I could really enjoy all the amazing day trips nearby. This place did just that! I booked a single occupancy room (shared bathroom) on the day and stayed for 4 nights - great value for money and really did the job - I had a perfect rest here. Other guests were of all ages and were friendly. The hostel was very quiet at night and put on some optional entertainment (I chose not to partake and it didn’t disturb me at all). The pool area is small but great! Big kitchen area to cook in and store food. The staff were great at helping me book day trips and the location is fantastic for these (I did the Great Barrier Reef, karunda skyrail and daintree trip from here and the location was perfect). I would definitely stay again!
