Hotel berhampiran Munganbana Aboriginal Art Gallery, Cairns

We stayed at Oak Carins for one quick evening before departing for a liveaboard cruise. The check in was quick and our stay was nice and comfortable. The only issue is that we booked the stay through our airline and requested an ocean view room. Unfortunately, the systems didn’t sync and Oak Carins oversold ocean view rooms and we were stuck with a different view. The staff tried to accommodate with a breakfast voucher but we couldn’t accept as we were leaving before their kitchens opened. So we were told that we would be credited back a refund…but there are so many stages/3rd parties, I doubt we will ever see it, but appreciate them trying. Would recommend if you are in Cairns and need a reasonably priced place to stay that is walking distance to the activities in the city.

I could have given 5 stars but didn’t because I requested to give me extra 1 hour check out time but they declined. They just didn’t care at all those people on the front desk. I won’t come back there are plenty hotels in the vicinity, a little walk is good exercise; plus the night market is on the other side anyway.

Crystalbrook Bailey was my stopover hotel so I wasn't expecting anything flash etc however when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful and modern this hotel is. Such a change to a lot of the older Cairns hotels. I felt like I was in a hotel in Melbourne! Check in was a breeze and staff were lovely, I was in my room in no time at all. There is alot of stunning modern artworks all throughout the building, very cool to find as you make your way to your floor. The room was beautiful and sufficient for a one nights stay, I could have easily stayed for longer! The location is great, in the city and close to the esplanade. I would definitely stay here again!

A nice place to stay with decent rooms and some nice swimming pools and outside spaces. 15 mins easy stroll to the sea/esplanade and 5 mins from central station. I should mention that ‘garden view’ is an exterior view, the ‘swimming pool view’ is the interior and much nicer.

Really wanted to love this place. On the positive, its location is OK, though not central, its very close to the aquarium and esplanade. BUT its also on the main road to the nearby public and private hospital, so traffic at all hours, especially ambulances make it noisy. That said, it's not near the party area, BUT the one pub nearby didn't look like anywhere I'd want to enter, and drunks yelling and screaming at each other on their way past, not only disturbed our sleep, it made waiting for an UBER / UBER-eats out front a bit uncomfortable. Room is an average size, and it was good to have a full sized fridge, washing machine and drier available, BUT don't expect any little extras. 2 mini soaps and the cheapest instant coffee available - and not much of that either is about the sum total of your welcome pack. Room was clean enough BUT the painted tiles (yes painted) are cracking and the washing machine was musty (guys, keep the door open). We ran a cycle before using...oh and bring your own powder! No service for stays shorter than 5 days (we stayed 5) and warnings everywhere that if you leave a few dishes dirty or don't remove your own rubbish before leaving you will be charged. Had a nice little balcony off the lounge, BUT it had 2 air conditioners lobbed on it, so it became unusable. We were on the 3rd floor, well away from everyone else (be aware stairs only!) which made it quiet from guest noise, BUT they had pest controllers spraying for bugs on day 3, which was a bit annoying, and left wet patches everywhere in the room when we came back. Didn't notice until we stepped in the poison! Only found 1 dead bug afterwards though. Lounge area was comfortable and nicely furnished, BUT the bed squeaked and sagged in the middle. Pool was good, though a bit fresh and parking was VERY good. Cascade gardens is a bit tired, (as am I after staying here), but its not awful. don't have your expectations too high, and don't pay too much. In comparison with where we stayed for similar money in Pt Douglas, its below par...I wouldn't stay again, but I've also stayed in much worse.

We had a wonderful one night stay at the Heritage Cairns. A clean, spacious and well equipped room with a comfortable bed, air conditioning and a fridge. But what made this hotel even better was the fantastic receptionist. She went out of her way to help us, the lift was broken during our stay so she moved us to a ground floor room as we had a lot of luggage, she also assisted us with a taxi number and warned us that Ubers do sometimes cancel early in the morning - we had a an early morning flight the next day so needed a lift to the airport, our Uber did arrive as planned but it was reassuring to know we had a back up plan, thanks to this lady. It is little touches like this that really make a difference! We would definitely book again.

I saw ‘Cairns City’ in the title & booked, but don’t be fooled like I was as the motel is up in Cairns North, a good 15 minute walk from the Cairns CBD & Esplanade area. The view from my apartment was the Cairns State High football field on Sheridan Street. That said, the motel was decent for the price charged ($180 a night in peak season) and the Wi-fi was strong which was important as I was working remotely for a full day from my room. It’s by no means a modern motel but the room size was adequate & had everything I needed for a short 2 night stay. The room was well prepped, with a fresh tropical coconut fragrance as you walk in. There is a bit of noise from the Main Street outside and you can hear other guests next door from time to time but overall nothing too distracting. There were cafes & shops nearby within walking distance including a bakery 5 minutes up the road which does espresso coffee. But it is not a city motel & without a car it’s a hike to get to the Cairns esplanade/lagoon area where tourists normally go. On the first night I walked into town & saw the laser light show installed for the Cairns Festival near the Pier Bar & had a massage treatment at Foot & Body in Orchid Plaza.

Great food and friendly helpful staff. Although this building is quite old it has been reasonably well renovated and is very comfortable to stay at. I had to leave VERY early to catch a bus and was supplied with a box breakfast, most welcome at 5am. On my return from my trip to Karumba we found that my booking had been made incorrectly a week further ahead.on arrival at 7pm , very tired,I was very grateful that the duty manager was able to put me into a very nice room for the night, and I was able to have a delightful meal and catch up with the gorgeous Shoni who welcomed me back even though I looked and smelt like Robinson Caruso, would definitely go there again.

From the time we arrived the staff were very friendly. We got a package deal and all the free extras were correct(no hunting things down). The food at both restaurants/bar were delicious. While this resort is large and holds many poeple at a time, you did not hear much noise from other guests. Only complaint I have is the putt putt and karts were not open(or stayed open until) as per time stated. Kids didn't get use those facilities. I will book here again.

we stayed a couple of nights in a 2br cabin...well set up and has all facilities u will need...except wifi...comvenient location if u have a car...but bus nearby...staff werent real friendly...but helpful...park next to cabin...quiet and comfy
