GGuest UserA decent five-star hotel. The room was spacious and even had a balcony, perfect for enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. It's located right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere – Cairns itself is quite small, so you can easily walk to most places. A taxi from the airport to the hotel was around 25 AUD.

JJ小米I accidentally booked this hotel and found out it was non-cancellable when I tried to cancel, so I had no choice but to stay. Overall, it was okay; the room was a bit small but quite tidy and clean. The front desk staff were very friendly. The restaurant was under renovation during our stay, so we were given vouchers to have breakfast at the hotel across the street. Clearly, for an extra AUD$80 a day, we could have stayed somewhere much better. The hotel hallways had no air conditioning and were very stuffy and hot. However, there was a free coffee machine downstairs with complimentary coffee. The swimming pool looked dirty though, and no one was using it. The location is a bit far from the Reef Terminal, about a 17-minute walk.

ВВладислав НиколаевичAlmost everything was great. The hotel is located a bit away from the main evening/nightlife and the Esplanade Lagoon. It took us 20 minutes to walk there, but it was actually good – a nice stroll after a heavy dinner on the Esplanade. It's a fairly quiet hotel; nothing bothered us at night, not even the planes landing and taking off, despite the airport being only 2 km away. It's clean, with cozy rooms. There's no drinking water in the room, but you can get it from tanks in the lobby, even with ice if you want. The front desk staff said we could drink cold tap water, but we didn't like it: it had a distinct chlorine taste.

GGuest User1. **Prime Location:** Situated right on the Cairns Esplanade, it's a mere 2-minute walk to the Reef Fleet Terminal (the departure point for Great Barrier Reef tours) and 3 minutes to the Esplanade Lagoon. Restaurants and night markets are plentiful nearby, and a taxi ride to the airport takes about 13 minutes.
2. **Amenities & Experience:** Most modern rooms feature private balconies with city or harbor views. The free Wi-Fi is stable, and the outdoor pool is comfortable. The Bushfire Flame Grill Brazilian BBQ has a great reputation (breakfast/dinner are extra). Paid parking is limited, and street-facing rooms occasionally experience noise.
3. **Service:** There's a 24-hour front desk with multi-lingual staff who can assist with booking Great Barrier Reef/rainforest excursions. Luggage storage is seamless.
4. **Drawbacks:** Parking can be tight during peak season, some bathrooms are a bit dated, and breakfast isn't particularly cheap.

Ssolo travellerEverything about this hotel is exceptional. The only downside was the room that I was given was on the top floor and the noise from either some sort of pump or the outside unit of the air condition was so overwhelming that I couldn't sleep well all night.

GGuest UserI will review from a Japanese perspective. Stayed in early May.
Pros
- Great location
- All the front desk staff are kind
- The barbecue set that you can borrow for free includes many types of tongs, oil, salt, and pepper
- Soft toilet paper
- Many types of coffee and tea are available. There is also milk in the refrigerator
- A wide variety of bathroom amenities such as shampoo and moisturizing balm
- The bathtub is large. The hot water comes out quickly, so you can fill it up quickly
- Drinking water is provided at the front desk, so it was nice that I didn't have to buy it separately
The information I wanted was not clearly stated in advance
(It would have been even better if the following issues had been resolved, but overall I was very satisfied.)
- No pajamas or bathrobes
- No microwave
- No knives or tableware included in the barbecue set (I bought steak meat, but I didn't have a knife and couldn't bite it)
- No spray-type deodorant

CcalifragileThe room facilities are relatively old and the lights are dim.
Slippers and toothbrushes are not provided. Shower gel and shampoo are of poor quality.
The room was on the first floor and there was noise. It should be the sound of the air conditioner engine or other machinery.
The breakfast is simple and does not provide the delicacies of various countries. It only has bread, fruits and some drinks.
A separate deposit of 50 AUD is required upon check-in, or 100 AUD in cash.
