Close to the centre of the city. The room was appropriate and clean and reasonable for the price. The shower is not the best, however having plates and cutlery was great for me. Recommended.

As an older property it was very spacious inside and all things needed for a stay were provided; not flash but well presented. Easy walk to shops, the esplanade and the market. Will stay again if I need another overnighter in Cairns. Comfy bed, helpful staff, and great price. Only issue was early check-in - by 4:30pm and no on-site parking.

Disliked: Amenities
Tired and dated, located next to a hostel and late night party venue and at the back of a car rental. If you want to be woken early but cars shifting around, then you are in for a treat. The place needs freshening up. It was way too expensive for what you get.

Terri

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were so welcoming and helpful when booking tours. The apartment was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The pool area was nice and also neat and tidy. The only down side was the external look of the property, as it operates as a car rental business and the building is old and in need of repair. However the price per night compensates for this and although the building is dated inside the apartment is very clean with an updated kitchenette and freshly painted with new blinds, floor coverings, aircon and offers Netflix. Perfect accommodation on a budget and walking distance to everything.
