Our room 324 was antiquated and the shower/bath is very dated . On arrival we found it extremely difficult to turn the hand basin taps on and then off after using them to stop them dripping all night . No plugs in either bath or basin and we killed 3 cockroaches. We felt the room hadn’t been used for some time ? The bed was very comfortable but the balcony was cramped and the table wobbly and with weeds growing in the brickwork together with broken tiles. The TV cupboard doors inside were hanging off and there was a strange smell from ( we think ) the carpet The one big plus is the location, absolutely perfect and central to everything although the city view is not the best The maintenance man who came to our assistance was brilliant although there was little he could do at such short notice except to provide deodoriser for the smell . Fortunately none of the above spoilt our short break to Cairns.

An absolutely amazing stay from start to finish. The service was exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The view was stunning and made every moment in the room feel special, while the room itself was beautifully comfortable, well-appointed, and thoughtfully designed. Everything exceeded expectations, and it truly felt like a home away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing experience.

The staff was great, but the location is even better. If you’re looking to do a snorkeling tour it’s a simple walk to the harbor. Also, because there are no great beaches nearby. The lagoon right nearby is perfect for swimming and the water temperature was wonderful. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Cairns

We only spent one night here. Very clean, staff were really nice. Great view of the esplanade. No street noise in the room which we loved. Didn’t see the fine print about a $200 deposit even though our room was fully pre paid. 3-5 days to get it back. Not great. A microwave oven would have been very handy.
