    Unreliable Wi-Fi

    Town a Bit of a Walk

    For some guests the 10 minute walk into the night markets in the centre of town was a little bit too long and their reviews commented that they thought that the hotel was too far out of the city centre. Other reviews warned future guests that Cairns is very spread out so take some good walking shoes.

    negative:

    Old Rooms

    A number of reviewers mentioned the tired and dated rooms at the hotel which some believed were in desperate need of an overhaul. Some guests also mentioned stained carpets and shabby bed linen in their reviews which also could use replacement.
