We arrived in Cairns late and then were on a full day dive on the Great Barrier Reef the following day so only wanted somewhere to sleep. I hadn't read the reviews beforehand. This suited our needs as we were only there to sleep, our room was clean and the facilities, although tired, were adequate. However, I would not recommend this place for families. We arrived and noticed lots of beer boxes/bottles around the place and a car to be repossessed in the car park. We guessed part of the hotel was used for emergency accomodation, and reading the reviews I think they are. At night I was awoken by a disturbance on the street with a bottle being smashed (but hey, that could happen in any city). We didn't experience any trouble with the residents. If you are looking for a relatively cheap option to stay and you are not going to spend a lot of time there this would be an ok option.Show More

Room was clean and bed was very comfy. Some areas could be cleaner like the shower and some updates and TLC to to the lamps and other things. You will hear the airplanes above during flight hours - but it's not too bad.Show More
