"Convenient location, very comfy stay!"

8.0

This hotel is in an excellent inner city location with most activities within a 400-600 metre flat walk. We were impressed with the larger than normal, sound-proof rooms, amazingly comfy bed (best sleep we’ve had in years!), nice toiletries, hot shower, decent sized fridge and microwave, comfy armchair, large area for suitcases and hanging clothes, and quite a good selection of TV channels. The lovely pool area is a feature, as are the stunning views from rooms on the higher floors! Staff were exceptional - very friendly and helpful, especially the reception and housekeeping staff who went out of their way to assist us with helpful advice and support for our holiday in Cairns.

They have a very nice bar/restaurant area, but the bar/restaurant was closed for most of our stay: only open Wed-Sun, but a buffet breakfast is available in the restaurant area every morning.
