Great location . Plenty of dining options just a short walk from the hotel. Friendly Manager. Room had a walk in shower not a shower over bath which is a real bonus. Have booked in to stay every few weeks for my work travel over the next 6 months.....

This is an amazing hotel, perfectly located with very nice rooms. The restaurant on the roof has a great view and feeling and is awesome for a snack and a sundowner. I travel through Cairns for work quite often and even when this hotel has no rooms available i go there to the rooftop restaurant to relax. The staff was very helpful with certain documents i required and everything was seedless. Definitely recommend.

    Cairns is busy and has a lot going on.

    Cairns is busy and has a lot going on. It possibly suits younger people more. If you’re after reef trips or island trips it’s perfect. If you want a less action packed pace you should probably head to Port Douglas.

    Tours are great paranella park and kuranda are the 2 I recommend. There is plenty to do around cairns city. Muddies playground was just 5 minutes walk to the esplanade from where we stayed its more for younger children and there is a cafe next to it where you can order extra hot coffee. And the lagoon is great for those who love the water.

    Much to do City re many tours and sights, reef or islands by boat or helicopter; dinner boat cruise, many day trips to Atherton tablelands or train ride to Kuranda and Skyrail Cable Car. New Tomb of Pharoahs exhibition specific to Cairns, various Museums and many restaurants and cafes with a wide variety of cuisines. Good inexpensive bus network and a central railway station. Ferris wheel and lagoon centrally located in park lands. Helipad near Marina for easy access to the reefs and beyond. Airport only 15 minutes by car. Locals are friendly. A safe and interesting city to visit.

    Apartment was spacious and clean with one of the best view. Restaurants was just outside the building. It was closer to shops,the esplanade lagoon and closer to almost everything. Rsl next to building and perfect for family with children. All I can say is we really enjoyed our stay. Tour booking centre was just next door, cairns shopping mall 5 minutes drive away. Will definitely be back again

    Spacious room with balcony, sea view and hot buffet breakfast that's on the esplanade, has free parking and is a pleasant walk from all you need in Cairns. It's great. Only down side is that it's an old, large hotel that you could say needs modernisation but that was reflected in the price. We would use it again.

    Location was practically unmatched, amazing rooftop bar and the room was simple, but stylish and comfortable. The hotel was walking distance to pretty much anything worth seeing in Cairns City: the lagoon, Ferris Wheel, local restaurants, the esplanade, the aquarium, the art gallery, and much more.
