I've stayed before & loved it. This time I didn't. The first room I was given had a dirty & wet bathroom, obviously not cleaned from the previous people. The 2nd room had 2 single beds, not the double I booked, and the air conditioning didn't work. The 3rd room I was given was actually very nice. I booked it... More

Whatever you do - do not stay here. I have never encountered (I backpack and have seen a lot) such a dump. Not only is the place a dump but no one cares who works there. The front desk staff are very open to tell you how much they hate working there, that the boss and owner do not care... More

I will start by wondering why an employer would ever employ a guy who NEVER smiled, NEVER expressed any form of gratitude of hospitality, NEVER made eye contact wil you when you walk in or out, and then put him on the front desk? WHY????? Okay, now that's off my chest, there was not one other thing negative about this... More

i stayed in a very plain room, with a really noisy air-conditioner and tiny little tv with 2 channels. After 3 days of staying there i became covered in a rash, the doctor told me it was bed bugs (similar to scabies) and that i had gotten it from the mattress in the hotel. i told the people at reception,...

We stayed here for just 1 night, the room was ok, very plain but clean, the bathroom was again ok. We had underground parking which was also where the swimming pool was! not that you would use it, it looked pretty awful, plus Cairns has a beautiful lagoon just 5 mins walk away(FREE) Our room was over a very noisy...

I had a large, clean, pleasant room in the newer part of the hotel. It's in a superb location, right in the CBD with the bus terminus outside the front door. Staff were efficient, friendly and courteous; the continental breakfast was a little disappointing (no fresh fruit), our tour group's meals from the Hides cafe downstairs were good. Lack of... More

No frills property and very modestly priced, light breakfast on the balcony consisted of cereal, toast, tea, coffee buffet style, we had a good basic clean room with ensuite bathroom. Excellent laundry facilities too a real bonus. A short walk to a huge free pool complex we did not use the hotel pool. Each evening we sat on the balcony... More

We stayed here for a week and it was not as bad as what some of the previous reviews made it out to be. Sure we had no view - except for a brick wall when you looked out the window, and breakfast wasnt realy anything to write back home about. It can be quit noisy, but it seem to... More

I was staying in the hostel part and although the hotel is old, it's clean and BIGGGG!!!!!! It's in a brilliant location and is close to literally everything! I was quite happy with everything as I hadn't paid much to be there! I enjoyed my stay! More
