The price point definitely made this family room a good value, especially considering its location near the city center. While the room itself could use some updates and the building showed its age, the staff were friendly and accommodating. The musty smell and a few maintenance issues were a bit of a drawback, but overall, it was a decent place to stay for a short trip

Spent 4 nights at the Cairns Plaza and couldn’t have been happier. Good, clean room. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant with it. Excellent location for getting around - 15 mins walk from the reef terminals and 3 mins walk to the bus to the botanical gardens. Very close to cafes/restaurants, the night market and shops. I knew beforehand there was no hotel restaurant but breakfast/meal boxes available to purchase. I would happily go back

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.

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

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. The hotel is 1.2 kilometers away from the bustling beach area. You can eat and drink when you stroll. The location of the hotel is within the range of free pick-up and drop-off for day trips, which is very convenient.

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

I just needed a place to sleep and shower while traveling for business. Very convenient and very affordable. Staff really friendly and was a pleasure talking to them. The only thing was the room smelt a little funny but got use to it after a while.

AAnonymous UserIt was a very cozy hostel. The mixed share rooms have individual beds instead of bunk beds, so you don't have to disturb someone else's sleep, which is a big plus! The owner is a very calm and kind person, and he starts by giving us a thorough tour of the surrounding area and the hostel. There is a garden and a pool, and the kitchen is equipped with salt, pepper, and oil, and we could drink tea and coffee freely. It was also nice that we didn't have to buy a few condiments just to cook for ourselves for a few nights. The people staying there were friendly, and it's been a while since I've come across such a cozy hostel. I'd like to use it again when I visit Cairns! I really recommend it to everyone!

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.

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.
