Before check-in, I missed the front desk check-in because my flight was late. However, I met a Chinese staff member by phone one day in advance. She gave me the entrance code and the code for the safe where the room card is placed. She was very patient. I give a thumbs up to the front desk lady.

Itâs not bad. The room is big and has a small swimming pool. Itâs suitable for us, two adults and one child, with a big bed and a small bed. The price is right and itâs cheaper now. It used to be more than 900, but now itâs 670, which is better than a B&B. Cheap and very good. The front desk doesn't close very early, so you can check in later. The hotel is not far from the night market, but it's still more convenient to drive. Parking in Cairns is free on Sundays, so if you plan to go out to sea on Sunday, it's best to leave it at the pier. Everything is free, and you can drive to every place. The hotel lobby is on the M floor, and the second-floor platform where the car is parked is on the 1st floor. There is an elevator to enter the hotel.

The apartment is old, the shower in the bathroom is not closed tightly, and the exhaust fan is particularly noisy. But the facilities are complete, there is a coin-operated laundry room to wash and dry clothes, and there is a microwave toaster to solve simple meals. We arrived very late, after contacting in advance, the front desk informed us of the way to stay, it was more convenient. The departure time was too early, the appointment was not Uber, and the front desk also helped us to make an appointment for a taxi. A suitable apartment for the price.

This hotel is very good. We are a family of three adults and one child. The room is very large, with a double bed (1.5 meters wide) and two single beds, separate bathroom, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishes, cutlery and forks. Spoons and toasters are very convenient. The hotel has no breakfast and no extra bed. It is suitable for a family. It can be said to be very good at this price. The hotel also has free parking spaces, free Wi-Fi, and a small swimming pool.

On the same day, I booked another accommodation for my friend, but after booking, the customer service said that there was no room. We booked somewhere else at six o'clock in the afternoon. The housing is relatively tight, so it is more expensive, the customer service applied to make up the difference. The attitude and response were very timely, and I responded in the middle of the night. Like Ctrip Hotel

It was a hassle free check in . We were advised on how to get inside the hotel since our check in was quite late already. The room is so spacious and clean . The location is in the heart of CBD which was so convenient for us

This hotel was well located in terms of proximity to the main tourist areas, but we had difficulties using public transport.
The rooms were very clean and the shared bathrooms were very clean.
The environment was very well kept and wonderful, we would definitely repeat for the price.

GGuest UserWe chose this hotel because it was one of the most inexpensive hotels near the reef terminal and close to other attractions in Cairns. It was a 30 minute walk to the Reef Terminal and 40 minutes to the Botanical Garden. It also has a good selection of restaurants nearby and is a short walk to Rusty's Market and quite a few shops.
The area is very quiet and the bed was comfy enough. The room has a good wall unit which we stored all of our bags in and kept our stuff accessible with some shelves. There is a limited number of plug-ins in the room with two on the desk under the TV and a power bar was underneath the bed. A travel power adapter was used to keep our devices charged. The wifi was weak when we stayed and we felt the shower curtain and lip didn't do a great job keeping the water contained because the floor and bath mat got soaked each time we showered - you could aim the shower head at the wall and angle your body just so but it was tricky to have a good shower here. We did appreciate all the toiletries available in the wall mounted units including hand wash, shaving cream, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The towels were also very soft but never dried out so we had to ask to have them changed on our second day here because the bathroom smelled very damp due to the wetness.
The front desk staff were very kind but they did not have it manned after hours so there are late night check in instructions provided. They also can help arrange and book tours while you are in Cairns. The hotel offered a complimentary breakfast which included bread, a toaster, a pancake machine, cereals, juices, coffee, milk and water. The highlight of the breakfast was the pancake machine and the giant jar of Nutella with a pump attached. You could order a hot breakfast for a little bit more and it was fairly priced for things like sausage, bacon and eggs.
The hotel also has a bar area (open 3-7), heat and eat meals, a vending machine, pool and laundry facilities. There is a microwave available in the bar area and kettles are available in the rooms for hot water. The laundry machines are commercial and quick - it cost 4 AUD to wash and the same price to dry and our laundry was done within 1 hour and 10 minutes. The laundry room also has an iron and ironing board.
The hotel had a good amount of parking and it is about a 10 minute drive from the airport. We felt everything was very convenient during our stay and would recommend it if you are planning to save on a hotel and spend on excursions!

It's out of the city center, but I used Uber so it wasn't a big deal.
I was also pleased that a welcome drink was included.

AAlexander KunowService was very simple, direct and uncomplicated. Cleanliness was good, pool was great, only the room facilities could be slightly improved. Create more space in the corner of the refrigerator with shelves. But otherwise everything is pretty perfect. A bit far from the center, but okay.

JJIWUBecause I want to transfer from Cairns to Bamaga, I booked this hotel. I am optimistic that it is relatively close to the airport, about 5 kilometers. The room is quite big, less than 30 square meters, and the price-performance ratio is relatively high. The hotel before arrival Through my customer service, I informed the key pick-up code and the code of the hotel door, because the hotel door is locked after 0:00 to 5:30 in the morning, but I have to leave early because of the early flight. This hotel is still very considerate. ,Not bad

YYIIt is very rare to have a hotel of this price during the Spring Festival, so if this hotel can meet the basic needs of rest, in addition to additional facilities, it is really good value for money!
First of all, the location of the hotel is a certain distance from the city center. It is a half-hour walk, but there is nothing to visit in the city, it is nothing more than a supermarket to buy things.
Secondly, the hotel's facilities are complete, basic things are available, and you can rest well at night. There is also a kitchenette in the room where you can cook your own meals, which is really a bonus.
Finally, because it is a motel, the service is basically absent, but the front desk staff are very enthusiastic, so there will be no uncomfortable feeling.
