The property is well situated and easily within walking distance to the city center, medical center and restaraunts. The staff were friendly and welcoming and there is a rental car business on site. There is no self parking on site. The shower had excellent pressure.

As an older property it was very spacious inside and all things needed for a stay were provided; not flash but well presented. Easy walk to shops, the esplanade and the market. Will stay again if I need another overnighter in Cairns. Comfy bed, helpful staff, and great price. Only issue was early check-in - by 4:30pm and no on-site parking.

My visit to A1 was a pleasant surprise, when I first arrived, I was not sure, but I quickly found myself seeing so much potential in the property. The apartment was clean, well organised, but as you stay longer you notice it is just in need of a freshen up. The kitchenette was basic but very user friendly, fans in each room were refreshing, but like most Cairns locations there is not heating provided to the rooms, so if you sleep cold be sure to rug up. Backpackers behind were a little noisy in the early hours of Sunday morning, but besides that the overall location was lovely. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
