Cairns Central Plaza Apartment Hotel

Located perfectly at the center of cairns. Although it’s 5-6 blocks away from the esplanade, the shopping mall is just across the street. Pubs, clubs and restaurants are walkable from the apartment. The apartment is very cozy but since we booked a hotel type apartment, we get no stove to cook food on. Basic kitchen stuff are available though, like toaster, microwave, utensils, plates, wine glasses and a mini fridge. My fave part on our stay was the rooftop pool and spa, which we used a lot of times! Lastly, the staff were nice enough to allow us to access the rooftop after 9PM to watch the NYE fireworks.

Since previous tenants are required to clean the plates and utensils before leaving, we’re quite unsure whether it was cleaned properly so best to give it another wash before using it for the first time. The reception was unattended when we were about to check-in. Took 20mins to check-in. It would’ve been a bonus to be allowed to have a late checkout as well.

We were on the 10th floor and had a great view one side was the hills the other was the water. The balcony was huge we sat out there a lot. The room had everything big fridge, washing machine. Great bathroom plenty of cooling with fans and cooler. Across the road is a shopping centre with plenty of shops. The esplanade with waterfront dining is a good 15 Min walk. There is so many great tours each day to choose from too. All appliances are easy to use too.

Leaving! ......the tv I think needs to be a little bigger. We stayed a week our towels were never changed not sure if that's the way it is.

Location, FRIENDLY STAFF!!! large covered balcony like an second living room without windows and the fully equipped kitchen

The pool was closed for renovation. Sterile atmosphere: The room was without any decoration and the light was 6000 Kelvin extreme cold colour like in an hospital room. After we made the remark of no decoration they hang one decoration one painting on the wall. Thanks for that! I liked the painting.

Location was city central -opposite the big shopping mall and a 10 minute walk to cafes and the sea. Apartment was a good size as was the bathroom. It's a strange apartment building - the lower floors are all medical facilities. Great little pool and hot tub on the roof. Staff were wonderful - our luggage was dealyed over a day and they lent us charger cords and let us use the landline. Fully equipped kitchen.

The shower was hot but it was barely a fine drizzle - took ages to get shampoo out of my hair. Shower head was static and very high up. Some salt and pepper would be nice! It IS city centre so be prepared for noise - the mall skip bins were emptied at around 5am and it was LOUD.

Excellent location opposite Cairns Shopping Centre including Woolworths Supermarket. Saved money by making own meals at apartment and buying snacks. Close walking distance to other events/venues in Cairns city. Staff most helpful and friendly. One bedroom apartment which was roomy and well equipped including stove, washing machine and dryer. Very clean and maintained apartment.

the receptionist was very clear with the instructions and very very nice.

we only had got one key. We actually had to ask for another. we did have three people staying. It was accidentally booked for two. We weren’t supplied another bed and when we asked for a blanket for the couch his response was kind of like it was too much effort to help us. but he ended up bringing one anyway. in this heat, it was pretty hot in the main room, even with leaving the door open from the lounge.

Convenient location, clean and affordable. Great views from the balcony.

Ordered a room with 2 twin beds, however the room only had a a queen size bed upon arrival. The staff provided a fold out single bed and the room furniture had to be re-arranged to fit the fold out bed. The hotel does not provide rooms for twin beds only. Booking.com is to blame as when booking online it stated that the room could be made into a twin room but this is not the case according to the hotel manager. Almost spoilt our holiday.

Location , safe. Clean. Friendly staff, helpful when needed.

Bathroom sink was blocked, my partner unblocked it. Not enough utensils in the kitchen to cook with. No peeler, no strainer, no storage containers for left overs. A few more utensils and cook wear would be great. Lounge chairs were really uncomfortable, they might be modern but definitely not comfortable

Easy check in/out. Comfy beds. Spacious balconies. Effective cooling (fans/AC). Great pool/spa. Convenient location to plaza, train, Esplanade/water activities (15mins walk). Kitchen supplies were limited for family cooking, but manageable. While the accommodation was a little tired, the two bedroom apartment, with two bathrooms, was fabulous for our family of three.

Lots of street noise during the night (rubbish trucks, ambulances, noisy bypassers).

Very close to everything in the city. We had a nice view of the city and the mountains.

The driveway is very steep. (Bottomed out in a Prado) Also the key to the carpark is weirdly on the wrong side to the driver.
