Paul Australia

When you visit cairns this is the place to stay. It is close to all facilities .

Panicos Australia

Comfy spacious room in an extremely good location right on the foreshore

Tom Australia

Excellent location, very close to wharf and other main attractions. Cool view from the room. Good value for money.

Jean-michel Australia

On the 10th floor with a great view over the harbour to the mountains. Close to the harbour, close to the train. Excellent

Donald Australia

The breakfast was great. The room was very nice. The shower set up in the bathroom was a bit strange, but it was fine. Wifi was spotty at times, but otherwise a great hotel!

Naomi United States of America

The location of this hotel was very central. Just a few minutes away from the Reef Terminal, 2 minutes away from the Lagoon and close to other shops, centre etc. The room was clean and spacious, even the bathroom.

Amanda Malta

Loved the location of this hotel - we could walk easily everywhere The 10 dollar voucher for eco friendly choices was a nice touch.

Emily Japan

We had a great room overlooking the lagoon and New Year's Eve fireworks. Walkable to piers, restaurants, and parks. Staff very helpful.

Christopher United States of America

Excellent location, close to the marina which was perfect for us as we needed to catch a dive boat at 7am. Hotel is very close to restaurants, shopping and hot spots. Room was spacious, clean and bed was comfortable. Staff were courteous and helpful.
