The view was nice, but not exactly a tropical paradise. I mean, there's a boardwalk with hundreds of people right there it's not exactly a place you can admire the tropics from.
Also the waitress who brought us food to the room was very patient with us. That was nice.

We got in early before our room was ready but the staff worked with us and we were able to get into our room a bit earlier than regular check in. The cleaning staff was incredibly helpful.

Positive: Skyrail and historic train, nature, pool in Cairns...
Positive: Skyrail and historic train, nature, pool in Cairns, boardwalk, Botanical Gardens (absolute highlight!!!). Don't miss Emerald Creek Ice Creamery - lots of varieties and very yummy! Dundee's restaurant offered outstanding food and an incredible venue with a massive fish tank to look at while dining, it's pricey, but worth it. The Daintree is as exciting as ever. Solar Whisper Croc Cruise was really good. Daytrip to Atherton Tablelands was lovely. Rusty's market is a must! Only downside of Cairns: dining is fairly expensive in general.

We went at the start of the dry season.
We went at the start of the dry season. The weather was very warm but still humid.
Cairns central has great public facilities.
The swimming lagoon is fantastic for all ages and has surf lifesavers in attendance. BBQ cookers all along the Esplanade, excellent playgrounds.
Muddy Waters in particular, the kids went crazy.
Of course you go for the reef trips and the train trip and the Skyrail up to Kuranda village. A lovely day out in beautiful rainforest.
Port Douglas and Mossman are a drive north if you have the time, they are another must see in this scenic part of north Queensland.
A drive up onto the Tablelands opens up a different part of the area. Natural and historical attractions. It's worth the drive.

A worn and sadly lacking site.
A worn and sadly lacking site. It has all the hallmarks of investors who rake in the money but don't spend any money or maintenance and improvements. They could raise their star rating if they cared to invest in renovation., The lady at the front desk was very friendly;y. What a shame she has to represent such a sad venue.

There is little opportunity to interact with people outside of those in our circle of the delegation, including the hosts and those slotted in the program, during that trip. I would like to see more people to people interaction.

Excellent location.
Excellent location. You may not need a rented car if you stay in the central location. We stayed here for 5 days. Went to Great Barrier Reef, Green Island, Used the sky rail to go to Kurandra and came back by Scenic Rail. Snorkling at both Green Island and Great Barrier Reef was too good.
Spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation in a great location. It is located just a few minutes walk along the boardwalk from the restaurants, swimming lagoon and other activities in central Cairns. It is not as upmarket as some of the other Cairns hotels but it is excellent value for money and would be great for a family holiday as it has apartments with kitchen facilities and is just across the road from a childrens playground and water play area and a cafe. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location: CBD of Cairns, close to everything including the ferry terminal (perfect for early trips to the Great Barrier Reef, Fitzroy Island or the airport). The hostel is extremely secured with two locked doors to get inside. We felt super safe, and it feels more like a hotel than a hostel to be honest. Room was rather small, beds were very comfy, shared bathroom super clean. Also, enormous shared kitchen with plenty of utensils, appliances, plates etc. Beautiful terrace near the kitchen. We will definitely come back.
Super clean room, and the friendly, attentive staff impressed me right off the bat. The hotel was located within walking distance of all the Cairns attractions that I visited. The kitchen had everything I needed during my stay. The beautiful pool was clean and serene, and it never had more than a couple people in it at a time. I extended my stay here twice! Also, the manager accomodated a late checkout without hesitation. Would stay here again if I return to Cairns.
Spacious, clean, well equipped, centra location, pool and in unit washer & dryer. Heinrich the manager went over and above in accommodating us. We arrived on Good Friday and all the groceries stores we closed, the day before we forward him a small shopping list and all the items were in or fridge upon arrival. He offered a shuttle service to restaurants, tours, airport….etc for a small fee. This is the place to stay in Cairns.
Really spacious apartments, we were lucky enough to get to stay in 2 of them. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows even more so.
Management were very kind, helpful and responsive. We put in more than one request and each time it was dealt with promptly and efficiently and nothing was too much.
Location was very good, close to cairns central shopping centre and a short walk to the esplanade and city centre.
Hotel tropiq was by far our best stay in cairns - great wifi in room & by pool, lovely & super helpful staff, felt safe, very clean room with kettle, fridge & microwave, towels and you even get complimentary chocolates & shower gels! It’s also only a 15-20 min walk mostly along the beach to the main esplanade in cairns centre - Wish we’d stayed here the whole time & would definitely stay again!
Good location for walking to the Esplanade and some good restaurants. The rooms were clean but also lacked character. There were no gardens visible. The hotel is just on a fairly busy street but gets quiet at night. The locked off street parking that was included was great. Pool was nice but on a busy street corner right outside the pool.
The room is very nicely decorated and not boring. Fully aircon and with fans. Large room with enough space for my family. The location is very good as it is near the city and walking distance to the esplanade. Jackie has also put a lot of thoughts in setting up the apartment and also provide books and board games for you to enjoy.
Great location, brilliant staff- helpful and friendly, value for money. Our go to hotel in Cairns. Rooms are a decent size, comfortable beds and great shower. Very pleasant public area with seating for reading or relaxing. Close to everything you need in Cairns, especially the Esplanade.
The staff were friendly and very helpful. I was pleased with the room on both visits as it was comfortable and clean. The outdoor areas were well maintained and user friendly. The hotel was also only a short 10 minute walk to the centre of Cairns. Would gladly recommend this hotel.
Location of the hotel was good for checking out Cairns. It was also close to the Marina where boats leave for Great Barrier Reef Trips. The breakfast included in our rate was also good. The room itself was comfortable and the outside patio was nice to sit out on and watch the sunset.
Location was convenient to the Esplanade and the airport. Room was spacious, comfortable and airconditioned with a sink, fridge and table and chairs. Onsite cafe was reasonably priced and convenient, unlike many restaurants in Cairns that are just expensive tourist traps.
The best apartments available in the city of Cairns - family-friendly from young to old. Super happy with the service and rooms provided at Vision Apartments. Rachel Maddocks at reception is always there with a smile and will provide top quality customer service.
We went to Cairns and stayed at Double Tree for 6 nights, the hotel facilities were located by the Esplanade, walking distance to nice restaurants and the lagoon, staff was very attentive, the buffet breakfast was excellent. Happy to have chosen this place.
Awesome apartment in a top location (direct road to Airport) as well as walikg distance to main centre and Esplanade. Buster makes the stay so more homely with morning and afternoon pats 🥰😘 definitely my new favourite place to stay in Cairns.
The location of the hotel was perfect, so close to Cairns centre, the marina and the Esplanade.
The beds are soooo comfy!! Slept better than ever every night.
The staff were so friendly, so eager to please and help.
Great location right near the Esplanade. The room was very clean and comfortable and we really appreciated the Nespresso machine. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Cairns.
I liked the location, I was easily able to explore the city centre of Cairns on foot. i choose Mantra hotels because i know what to expect and they never let me down.
