Great location, got to watch a cruise liner slowly come into port from my room balcony. In a quiet spot of Cairns, barely any traffic so very peaceful. Rooms are quite spacious, the shower even has a bench in there to really relax! Conveniently next to the marina if you’re going on a barrier reef trip, short walk to all the restaurants and cafes too.

A very clean spacious room. All staff friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast with reasonably priced evening meals available. The only negative was the street noise coming from the youth of Cairns on Friday and Saturday nights through until 4:00 am. If staying on these nights see if you can get a room not facing Abbott St.

We would have preferred a buffet breakfast but the Alacarte was very nice .Katrin at breakfast was wonderful and looked after us really well. All the staff from reception to housekeeping to hospitality were especially helpful. There is a Woolworths just around the corner and the bus terminal is a comfortable walk, even for us seniors. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom had a separate toilet with basin. body wash shampoo and conditioner were on the wall dispensers which was very convenient. Lifts were prompt even though the hotel was at capacity. Generally a great hotel in a convenient location with great staff. We will stay here again!
