酒店慢慢步行到公共泳池大約15分鐘,走到夜市和超市10分鐘足夠。樓下對街角就有很好吃的鬆餅點,附近的咖啡館餐館按摩店都很豐富,位置很方便。房間不算大但是打開兩個大行李箱是沒有問題的。總體挺乾淨的。酒店3樓泳池層有公共洗衣房,很方便。非常推薦。

El hotel está bien ubicado, habitación grande y camas cómodas. El aire acondicionado hace ruido moderado, debería ser mas silencioso. La alfombra huele un poco a humedad, a pesar de eso es buen hotel por el precio y ubicación.

3泊で7万円ほど。他のホテルと比べると少し高いが、過去の口コミからもある通り、文句のない滞在が叶いました。 まずはとにかく綺麗。海外のホテルでこの綺麗さは日本と遜色ないレベルでした。不快感が全くない。 他の口コミと同様に、タオルの交換は不明でした。タオルかけにかけているだけだと、交換してくれなかったので、わかりやすく床に置けば良かったですかね? 一日だけ、PM19時ごろに風呂に入るとお湯が出ず…ピーク時間だったからでしょうか。ギリギリ耐えれるぬるま湯(ほぼ水)だったので、諦めてそのまま入りました。これは時間帯による気がします。そのほかは22時ごろに入りましたが、熱々のお湯がちゃんと出たので。 クローゼットの中に金庫があるので、貴重品はこちらに入れて旅に出かけることができました。 ランドリーと乾燥機は1つずつ。2ドル×2枚×2機で8ドルで回すことができました。私は洗剤持って行きましたが、おそらく現地でも買える。 ちなみにプールに入っている人は見かけませんでした。 ケアンズに行かれる方は、ホテル代ケチらず、お勧めします。

Very convenient location for us to explore Cairns and go onto boat trip. Walkable to many popular eatery and harbour. Lobby staff is helpful and friendly for basic enquiries and baggage. This is our second stay at Benson.

房間乾淨整潔,每天打掃都很及時。並且位置很好,離哪裡都很近。唯獨樓下好像是個酒吧,蹦迪到深夜,很崩潰。

房間還是乾淨衞生的,沒有一次性拖鞋,需自帶。早餐成人34澳元,小童24澳元,相對這個價格來説有點簡單了。
