Hotel berhampiran Russell River National Park, Cairns

凱恩斯中央廣場公寓式酒店，地處市中心，周圍環境相當不錯，距離大型超市（馬路對面）、去庫蘭德原始森林旅行的火車站（步行5分鐘），甚至去看大堡礁的遊輪公司，步行15分鐘，真是方便的不要不要，而且又有廚房，廚俱一應俱全，煮美食、看風景，拍美拍，美不勝收，還想再預訂一次，可能是明年吧…

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.

This is definitely a place that is orientated more towards families rather than couples. What was good was the friendly staff throughout the resort, the food and beverage service and the convenient underground parking. Stayed in a deluxe king room on the fifth floor overlooking Cairns city which appears to have been recently upgraded. Room smelt damp on entry and after the first shower it was evident why. It is hard to believe that someone designed the shower so that water flowed directly onto the floor and out into the living area even when you had the least amount of water flow possible. Wee bit of a design flaw I would suggest. Also, when booking a King size bed it would be a good idea to ask guests if they want a second bed in the room along with connecting rooms. I personally have no wish to have connecting rooms unless I am staying as a family. This door along with the front door were not particularly well sealed and you could here plenty of noise from outside and next door. The balcony is marketed as being intimate in yet has one chair and being a connecting room has nothing between you and your neighbours balcony. Hardly intimate. Based on the reviews I am sure this place is perfect for families however, there are better choices for couples elsewhere in Cairns.

This hotel is only 10 a 10-minute walk to the city centre and the fantastic pubs and cafes on the Esplanade. If you want to do it in 2 minutes get one of the the electric scooters outside the reception area. The safe are welcoming and very friendly, making my 3-week stay a pleasure. The only downside was their restaurant is not open every night, but not a problem when you are that close to everything the city has to offer.

I have mixed feelings about this property. We stayed 4 nights and, while overall the experience was quite good, there’s a lot that could be improved upon. We were supplied with one teeny-weeny bar of soap to service both shower and hand basin (no shower gel), although the manager readily supplied more when I asked. The TV in our bedroom was not working, for which he apologised. The kitchen was quite well equipped, but there were bits and pieces of crockery, cutlery and glassware, with not much of it matching. The floors throughout the apartment are in need of a deep clean and the complex as a whole is in need of a makeover. That said, the apartment was comfortable, with a good-sized balcony (ours overlooking the lovely pool) and we had everything we needed. It was quiet and conveniently located to Cairns Central, Rusty’s Markets and the Esplanade. We were particularly grateful for the complimentary bike use. We only dealt with Will, not Lyn, but he was always friendly and helpful.

We booked 2 rooms in April '24 end for 2 nights. Very good value for money hotel. Clean, spacious and good location. Breakfast is limited but a decent proposition given the cost. Pls try and provide a cooler for drinking water. Finally want to call out the fantastic lady at the reception, T. Such a cheerful and enthusiastic disposition, makes you feel at home and always willing to help in whatever way she can. Coral tree, you have a real asset here. Pls take good care of her.

If you want fancy, pay for fancy! Annoyed with judgey ”Karens” on reviews If you want budget, but not backpacker dorm accommodation, this is for you. Hotel staff very nice. Room clean. Yes its not the ”hilton” but you are not paying for that. Good solid budget private bathroom roof over your head where you spend most of your time exploring the area. Easy walking. I would like better booking on the hotel website. For multiple rooms we needed to book with booking.com. I prefer all my dollars to go to the hotel and not booking.com. And most hotels find it difficult to deal with website bookings at times.......

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.
