Cairns Central Plaza Apartment Hotel Official

Cairns Central Plaza Apartment Hotel Official

Cairns City Center Cairns|0.3km from city centre
Not a 24-hour front desk, more than 6:00 in the evening, it is closed, there is a self-service machine at the door, but entering your own booking information does not work, you must call the phone posted on their wall (English), report your name , generally the name, not the last name. After they check the order, they will instruct you to enter a string of 6 digits on the kiosk to get your door card and elevator access card from the kiosk. Then, brush the elevator access card into the building door, enter the elevator, find Just brush your own room and get in. Let me talk about his house type. I have an apartment style, a bedroom, it should not be a 1.8 bed. Our 2 adults brought a 12-year-old child to sleep on the bed, their feet are outside the bed, and the living room is two. People sofa, because the reservation said that no extra bed, so it is so okay. The room facilities are very old, the shower door on the bathtub has been replaced, only one frame is left, there is no shower curtain, the nozzle is sprayed in a mist, the basic washing is not so happy, it will splash around, and the bath is basically the bathroom. wet. The capsule coffee machine in the room was bad, could not make coffee, and did not clean every day until the day of departure. If it is not because I booked a day trip to the Kuranda Rainforest, I will take a sightseeing train back when I return. This hotel is opposite the train station. I can go upstairs from the train station to the large parking lot, from the commercial building of Coles Supermarket. It’s really tight, but in addition, it’s definitely not chosen because the accommodation is too poor and there is no service at all. The front desk service is Monday to Friday 8:00-17:00 and weekend is 10: 00-15:00. Dear friends, if you can move, it is recommended to choose other hotels. According to my observation, Cairns has very few taxis. It seems that it is impossible to make a reservation, and the bus is not convenient. Basically, it depends on the legs. Breakfast was not eaten at the hotel, it is estimated that it is not awkward, the hotel itself has a parking lot, the visual inspection is quite big, because there is no self-driving in Cairns, so I don't know how to charge, but it should be charged.

Vue Apartments Trinity Beach

Trinity Beach|0.19km from Trinity Beach
Two of the six people stayed for 4 nights, the room was 2 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, the space was big enough, the double bathroom, the laundry room, the kitchen utensils were very good, and the rice cooker sandwich machine coffee machine, etc., only salt and Black pepper seasoning, living 405, sea view is 100°, the downstairs swimming pool is beautiful, it is playing outside during the day, the morning scenery is beautiful, but I don’t know if it is a seasonal problem, the sea is not blue, black yellow black and yellow, And there are signs on the beach that there will be crocodiles infested, big winds and waves, the hotel has a lot of western restaurants to the beach, there are quite a lot of people in the evening, very quiet area, parking no money. Ok, let's talk about the point. Check in at 10 o'clock in the evening. No one is at the front desk but left the envelope with keys and garage remote control and check-in letter. They also called the front desk and told them that they had checked in. The next day, when I went out to play back, there was a wonderful event. The room was not cleaned. Of course it was not very dirty. The trash can was cleaned up, but two of the three bedrooms did not make a bed, and a plastic card was left to indicate: because the bed has Personal items are not arranged. If you need to clean up your personal belongings, it doesn't matter if I can understand it, but the third bedroom is to make a bed, but the children's pajamas are all thrown on the floor, this apartment is not Very new, the carpet is not so clean, because it is tropical, there is no quilt cover only the blanket, and the blanket is not washed regularly, the study room is particularly dirty, my friend has a small bag, it should be caused by mites, really It is disgusting for us. Because the next day is 10.1 and is also a public holiday in Australia, so I left a piece of paper indicating that no one is cleaning the day. I only need it on the 2nd. I need to clean the garbage myself. When they went to work on the 2nd, I went to the front desk to complain about this matter. The wording was quite polite, but the two ladies at the front desk were very impatient. It was impossible to tell me that personal belongings were thrown on the ground. I said that I have photos, you can Don't make a bed, but don't throw my things on the ground. And the room was not cleaned and the kitchen was stained. The lady at the front desk was very unfriendly and said that it might be that she forgot to put it back, I will remind you. In addition, we do not provide cleaning, cleaning should be done by yourself, we only provide services! OK, ok, I am not a person who has never seen the world. We have not soiled the house, and the garbage is consciously cleaned up and recycled as required. But on the day of checkout, the front desk gave another card, meaning that you should dispose of the garbage when you left, and restore the room to a level that is so clean, otherwise it will charge 75 Australian dollars per hour. Cleaning fee. In fact, if you don't say it, I will restore the kitchen, but the one left and right one reminds you that you are not here to spend money to enjoy it. It is the feeling of coming here to work as if you are doing your ass. Maybe I am not comfortable with Australia's self catering apartment, so please record here for those who need or consider booking this apartment. In addition, driving to the Kuranda rainforest is very close, but it is still 25 minutes to go to Cairns, not so close, there are several restaurants around, try Thai food, ok, not authentic but also suitable for Chinese taste. The location is not convenient for pick-up and drop-off of various scheduled events, so be sure to pay attention.

The Village Cairns
4/563 Reviews
Cairns City Center
1) It was a nightmare checking-in. I reached the hostel at 6:30pm and realized that there was no reception but to use Goki for checking-in. However, I received a notice from Goki that ”no reservation” after keying in my confirmation number. I got a shock and kept asking for help from strangers within the hostel. By the time I got it solved, it was like 8:30pm and I was starved to death. 2) Though Goki is an easy system but u need to bring your mobile everywhere you go even to the toilet eg shower (what happen if you forget to bring out the phone); there was a time my phone was almost out of battery (1% left) and I have to quickly charge it by borrowing charger from others. 3) There is no window in my room (single) and the air-con temperature is beyond my control 4) The reception area only opens till 2pm daily, after which you have to make call for any housekeeping services. It really pose inconveniences for first timer who wants to know about Cairns in terms of the directions, places of interests etc. 5) The location is excellent but I don't think I will recommend this hostel to my friends in future.
North Cove Waterfront Suites
4/531 Reviews
Cairns City Center
Our apartment was very clean and well appointed. Lovely view of the esplanade. We will definately stay here again on our next visit to Cairns. The city centre of Cairns is about a 30 minute walk along the Esplanade and a $8 Uber ride to return if you aren't up for the return walk. A nice location not being in the busy centre of the city but still close enough to be within reach. North Cove advertises itself as your home away from home and it is certainly is that. Kitchen was well stocked, rooms are large, wifi and complex was secure. I would recommend this apartment to couples, families, and business travellers.

Cairns City Center
We arrived at the hotel around 1.30pm and we were able to check in straight away, the girl on reception was very friendly and explained where our room was as there are 2 towers . We were on the 10th floor with a city view. Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Loved how they are helping with environmentally keys for your door which are just round bamboo disks and also having no plastic bottles in the fridges, just glass bottles. All tv programs were free so we’re able to watch new release movies and free wifi . We had booked a holiday package , so we also had free car parking and a $250 credit to use at any of their hotels . Would definitely stay here again .

Cairns City Center
The hotel is very beautiful, but the location is a bit far from the city center. It is suitable for those who like quiet. It is a bit troublesome to go to the city center for dinner. There are basically no other shortcomings. The service is very warm. When I went there, the sea was yellow and the hotel swimming pool was blue.
