Pros: Big room, big shower etc, kettle fitted well under the tap, bed ok. Easily found. Bed ok. Friendly

Cons: Wifi a bit iffy, no breakfast tray on weekends.

Pros: The hotel is slightly out of town and close to the hospital. It is conveniently sited for people travelling in any direction as it's just a block from the Captain Cook Highway. Even though it's close you don' t hear the traffic noise. There is a great area outside your room where you can sit and wind down from your excursions. They have a great manager who is welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. They also offer a free pickup and drop off service to the airport.

Cons: Only things outside of the hotel's control - the weather

Pros: The room was perfect

Cons: No elevator - but that’s not a detourant

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff on arrival. Rooms very excellent for the price and were clean and comfortable. Nice little pool area too.

Pros: Car parking. Friendly desk staff. Spacious room with balcony. Kitchenette and fridge.

Cons: Looking dated and worn. One wine glass only. Filthy unwelcoming corridors.

Pros: The position of Reef Palms on Digger Street was excellent. 2 blocks from the amazing 25min walk along the beachfront and 2min from a bus stop. A courtesy van is also available. I was in Cairns for a convention and Reef Palms was a perfect position for attendance and privacy. When back in Cairns i definitely will be returning to Reef Palms.

Cons: Reefpalms was exactly what I was looking for so there is nothing i would have wanted apart from maybe an electronic safe in my room. . .but, a safe was available if i asked for it. I had no worries about the security of Reef Palms

Pros: Reef Palms is located outside the city center, on a quiet side-street. It's a pleasant walk to the esplanade, docks/city center, and Night Market, and is an easy walk to the Cock-and-Bull, one of the best restaurant values in Cairnes. Manager Jeff was great, very pleasant and did a great job getting us into our Kuranda tour and our Great Barrier Reef dive. It was also one of the few hotels/motels in the area that would accommodate 4 people in a room. I highly recommend it!

Cons: No significant complaints, really. The coin-op dryer in the laundry room stopped earlier than expected, and the Continental Breakfast was good, but not particularly fancy.

Cons: Saggy bed, terrible breakfast, smelly old rooms

Pros: On arrival there was a problem with the room, the Housekeeper promptly and professionally attended to our concerns making our stay enjoyable.

Pros: The people (especially the guy) at the desk has been very helpful at all the time and advised well for the tours. Morning drop off at the airport is convenient

Cons: A little bit far from town center but quite quiet

Pros: Apartment was good

Cons: Less human intervention. No staff to check in, process not followed as alternate key collection, had make couple of calls at mid night to hear we have to wait for an hour to come and help, though someone within the apartment came and helped us. Same like for checkout, didn’t know what to do when looked to checkout at 8am. Had to make few trips to reception and ask others on how to handover room card keys.

Pros: What a great place....clean...nice suites ..wonderful friendly helpful staff...great location.

Cons: Plumbing in bathroom

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Room size. Unfriendly staff (even unfriendly to the foreign visitor in front of me). Nothing but water in minibar..

Pros: The position. The staff . The place

Cons: The place is slightly old and needs quite a bit of tarting up.

Pros: Cold tap in bathroom didn’t work. Mould in bathroom. Taps bogged so much so they didn’t fall over. Didn’t like anything except location. Some lights didn’t work. Door had smoke coming in from underneath from next room even though ours was a no smoking room. I had to put a towel up against the water damaged door.

Pros: Clean room and bathroom. All amenities, including wifi, fridge and kettle are working. Friendly and responsible owners.

Cons: There were problems with payment and kettle, but they were immediately solved.

Pros: Staff are super friendly. We asked for late checkout and kindly they let us to do.

Cons: The room was very dissapointing, the pictures in the ads are misleading and make the hotel look much nicer and friendly. The beds didn't even have fitted sheets or mattress protectors on them. The showers were covered in mould and the hot water would drop in and out whilst showering. They didn't even provide coffee cups in the room so that you could use the crappy coffee and tea sachets in the morning. Therench of drug addicts coming in and out a few of the rooms all hours of the morning constantly waking my 4 year old up banging and slamming doors and arguing as they were walking passed our room. Honestly this stay was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had and extremely over priced for what it is.

Pros: The Cairns City Motel is a very basic motel, but suited us perfectly as we got in late and were leaving early. It is in a great location and was great value for money.

Pros: The location.

Cons: The mattress very poor conditions, very poor house services, our room was with cockroaches, very disappointed I will not recommends this motel.

Pros: The great location was the main benefit

Cons: Room could have been cleaner.

Pros: Comfortable bed, hot strong shower, location

Cons: Very run down premises - dingy appearance

Pros: The location was good, an easy walk to the shopping strip (although Cairns Is so small possibly any hotel might have this positive) the check in and out process was really easy. We arrived late and they had the key in a little box and texted us the code. And for checkout we only need to put the key back into another box. Didn’t need to speak or talk to anyone.

Cons: We stayed two nights at this property then went on a live-aboard-boat for a few nights before returning again for another night before flying out. The first nights we stayed we put ice cream in the freezer. 3 nights later when we returned to that room those ice creams were still in there. Made us wonder how well the room was cleaned. Overall the place was run down and neat but didn’t have a clean feel to it.
