"The hotel is a bit old, close to the cruise ship terminal, the room balcony faces the port, the waiter's attitude is very good, but you can't check in before the time, the other hotels are OK. Opposite the hotel is a ******, the central air conditioning cooling tower on the roof is very noisy, and the balcony door must be closed."
"The room was very clean. There was a ********* lady at the front desk who could speak Chinese. The hotel has a special menu every day. When we arrived, it was steak night and the steak was quite big.
There was room cleaning service. The environment was very quiet.
It was very close to the pier and it was very convenient to eat around."
"Cairns is my favorite city, and I also like this small hotel. There is a courtyard outside the room with tables and chairs for enjoying the cool weather and dining. The breakfast charge is slightly higher, but we find it expensive and useless."

"The location is superb, super close to the port and various places. Opposite is the Woolworths supermarket, but after all, the apartment has time and the facilities are more general. Win in the room type is big enough ~"
"Overall, it’s not bad. In the nearby parks, children from all over the world are playing together. Perhaps the world’s Datong will one day be realized. This is the benefit of going abroad."
"This hotel is very good. We are a family of three adults and one child. The room is very large, with a double bed (1.5 meters wide) and two single beds, separate bathroom, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishes, cutlery and forks. Spoons and toasters are very convenient. The hotel has no breakfast and no extra bed. It is suitable for a family. It can be said to be very good at this price. The hotel also has free parking spaces, free Wi-Fi, and a small swimming pool. The hotel is 1.2 kilometers away from the bustling beach area. You can eat and drink when you stroll. The location of the hotel is within the range of free pick-up and drop-off for day trips, which is very convenient."
"It was a surprise after checking in. 2 super large viewing balconies, and 180-degree floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room provide sweeping views of the sea and surroundings. We have a complete set of kitchen appliances, such as a washing machine, a dryer, and a very pleasant New Year's Eve. The location is also very good, very close to the pier, and the surrounding supermarket restaurants are very close. This is an apartment we lived in Australia so well, s 4 is awesome, highly recommended"
"On Ctrip, this kind of hotel should be highly recommended. The price is not high, the stay experience is excellent, the staff are very friendly, the food is very convenient for travel, and the cleanliness of the room is far better than that of Hilton."

MMin Ts***The apartment is rather new. Location is the biggest its advantage. Vert close to bus station and restaurants. The whole block of 1/2 bedroom apartments are next to the “hotel”. The check in and out processes were fast without hassle.
During my stay, I found some daily problems that I had to sort out. As the staff at the reception said the apartment is managed by the hotel, however, it is not serviced exactly as the hotel rooms. I prefer to have some information sheet telling some basics solutions.
It was not cleaned up every day. We had the cleaning services for the 4th, 8th morning. I have to ask for refilling such as clean towels, toilet papers, rubbish bin bags, dishwashing tabs, I also need to empty the rubbish or food garbage.
Most disappointing, someone having their food in room and drop them nearby my door daily. As the temperature is hot there and stinky smell was suck.

GGuest UserDefinitely one of the better hostels I’ve stayed in while travelling Australia. However, front desk reception lady was quite rude when checking in. Food and service in the restaurant/bar was shocking. But very clean, good showering facilities, good kitchen facilities, and comfortable beds.

YYuanThe 2 bedroom apartment suits us (2 couples) very well. It has more than enough space. The apartment was well equipped. The location is also good, very close to supermarket, also not too far from reef terminal (20 mins walk).
However the wifi was terrible, very bad. The beds were just about okay. Also the tiny quantity of toiletry supplies bothered us as well.

JJianyiThe front desk is not open from late at night to early in the morning, so you need to check the hours. It is located near the downtown area and can be moved around on foot.
The breakfast was nothing special, but it was good. Drinks can be brought or ordered for a fee. You can enjoy it on the calm front lobby floor.
The room was simple, but there was a simple kitchen. The pool jacuzzi was simple and not big enough to play in.
I forgot my power outlet accessories, but the front desk kindly lent them to me.
If you are an experienced traveler, I don't think there are any particular shortcomings or complaints.

PPHILLIP JAMESThe Mantra Hotel has outstanding location. It is directly in front of the Woolworths supermarket - the best option in central Cairns. It's also virtually opposite (the esplanade side)the lagoon public beachfront swimming pool. Finally it's just a 5 minute walk from Cairns Cruise Terminal, with outstanding day trips to Green Island, Fitzroy Island and the Reef. I booked a sea view room. When you enter the room, you don't see the ocean, but a building across the road. However, the view from the balcony was amazing. The balcony overlooks the main features of lagoon on the sea front. During the day it is great view - the lagoon pools and sea in the background. At night you cannot see the sea (as to be expected) but you have the amazing lagoon lights, which makes it very desirable and even romantic. Our room was at the end of block, which overlooks a shopping mall (no car noise) - looking right from the balcony is the lagoon view and looking left is a mountain view. However, from 2:00pm to 6:00pm the sun comes directly into the balcony area, which means it unusable until sun sets. Of course if you don't mind baking in the sun on the balcony, this is not really a concern. The room itself is pretty basic. The mini fridge of OK and TV has domestic channels only - no cable TV for BBC/CNN. The bathroom is of a good size. There is combined shower & bath. However, when using the shower, it can slightly flood this bathroom. A shower curtain may be desirable because the glass panel is not sufficient enough. At $225 per night this hotel was not cheap and you can better deals by coming in the off-season OR going bit further down the esplanade, and choosing another hotel. The Mantra does have its own pool and it is wonderfully heated, with normal deck chairs you would expect at 4 star hotel. However, the pool gets very little natural sunlight, because it of its location between 2 buildings. Overall, the hotel has amazing location, and it is still recommended, despite the shortcomings mentioned. My final note: When we checked in, I was impressed with the level of service provided by the receptionist. She had a very welcome attitude and a wonderful personality.

GGuest UserClean and tidy, complete facilities, and a good location. However, the front desk is not on duty 24 hours a day, which seems to be the case for local express hotels. If you need to store your luggage, it is inconvenient. After 4 o'clock, the front desk will not be able to take it out. If there is a one-day tour on the day of check-out, you need to plan the storage of your luggage carefully.
In addition, we booked it for Chinese food, but the Chinese restaurant was closed from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning (I can't remember the exact time), so we didn't eat it anyway. It is recommended to indicate the business hours of the Chinese restaurant in the hotel introduction.

JJuanK RuzThe price point definitely made this family room a good value, especially considering its location near the city center. While the room itself could use some updates and the building showed its age, the staff were friendly and accommodating. The musty smell and a few maintenance issues were a bit of a drawback, but overall, it was a decent place to stay for a short trip
