The Balinese

Friendly staff Convenient location Enjoyed our 5day stay. Thanks

Near hospital so very important for me. I had to wait at 19.30 for 3/4 hour for someone to open the front door as the person on duty said he was having ‘tea’ dinner. I’m 80 years old .lucky somebody on the street side phoned the property to open the outside gate . Once on the property I had to wait 3/4 hour till front door was opened and i was let in. Then clean room and complementary breakfast for the treatment I received.

Great welcoming staff even as I arrived on a late flight upon reception closing time.

Advertised as a hotel but is a motel. Average but ok place. Photo of breakfast area was misleading. At time of booking breakfast area shown with timber decking and outlook onto trees was the only one visible on hotels.com. After checking the pool area was nice but the breakfast area was nothing like the photos. The room we received had 3 single beds with two pushed together to form a double. A very hard ridge in the middle was evident with no topper or so to mesh the mattresses together. No attempt at making illusion of a double. Rooms look out to car park of motel next door. Continental breakfast was quite basic. Bathroom was large, shower was small. We were in room 22. One bonus was the wifi working quite well. We booked The Balinese "Motel" to save a few $ to commit those to tours and experiences. Regardless of the price paid we felt the Balinese misrepresents itself on Hotels.com and warn others to read reviews regarding. If you want an average but ok motel that is well priced this is for you. If you were expecting a hotel and the breakfast area to look as depicted please look elsewhere however expect to pay a little more. Photo of breakfast area won't load in this review. Photo taken from hotels.com website. This is misleading and should be removed as no area looks like this. https://au.hotels.com/ho237226/?q-check-out=2019-06-16&FPQ=2&q-check-in=2019-06-15&WOE=7&WOD=6&q-room-0-children=0&pa=1&tab=description&JHR=1&q-room-0-adults=2&YGF=2&MGT=1&ZSX=1&SYE=3

just ok rooms, but good quality bedding. facilities are adequate.

Lovely except the toilet leaked all night and the bed was rock hard

Great location short walk to the town & harbour. Everything you need for a Cairns trip. Room was comfortable, clean & the shower was one of the most powerful & brilliant I’ve ever stood under. & the fridge in room & light breakfast that was included was an added bonus.

Great value for money Good location Great staff Rooms are not 5 star but clean and comfortable. the pool, kitchen and eating area is great

Nice hotel very close to Cairns Base Hospital. Once windows are closed you can't hear outside traffic or overhead planes.

Clean, cheap and close to airport what more can you ask for
