We booked a Heritage Ensuite for two nights for $75 per night. The room we were given was in the middle of the hotel which did have a noisy air conditioner unit outside the window. We called reception and they immediately sent someone up to show us to a new room. The new room was larger with a double and... More

I read the Trip Advisor reviews and booked an ensuite room in the newer part of the hotel - note: newer is a relative term here! Size-wise the room was terrific. The bathroom was also very big for motel-type accommodation. Not usually a bad thing except here, the towel rail was as far from the shower as it could possibly... More

We stayed here 2 days in March 2013. Our initial booking was 'heritage double'. After, checking the fine details we realized that this room has no bathroom - I.e. share facility! Luckily, we changed our booking to 'heritage ensuite' room which has private bathroom. For this we paid $75/nt through hotels.com (after we asked them to price match with Agoda).... More

After reading the reviews on TA I finally decided to book a 5 night stay in a "Superior Room" On arrival the room presented very well. Clean, tidy and everything where it was expected. To paraphrase and old expression; the rooms appear to be a couple of pieces of furniture short of being well furnished. The daily servicing left a... More

We stayed with our teenage daughter for 3 nights and if you are just after a cheap place to lay your head and have a wash, in a reasonably clean environment with tv and aircon then I would recommend staying. It is in central Cairns with shopping at the foot of the stairs and within walking distance to the Lagoon,... More

Ended up here on a Wotif.au "mystery deal" and it wasn't a "deal" at all - compared to regular price, saved all of $5! Had a private room with bathroom. The location was great, and the beds are ok - in fact the rooms are surprisingly ok. However the noise (!) is a problem - and this was on the... More

Was a bit worried about this due to the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor. However overall very happy with this hotel. It is right at the heart of the centre and only 10 min walk from the ferry terminal which was convenient for the Reef Cruises (tour operators generally charge $10-15 pp for transfers which we avoided), Hotel decor bit shabby...

It's right above PJ O'Brian's Irish Pub... so, a little noisy at night but close to everything; lots of shopping, plenty of tour groups to pick. Great rates in our package deal that included flight from Brisbane. We were here during the second week of April which is usually nice weather but we got some rain and wind that delayed... More
