The bed is comfy and the kitchen appeared reasonably complete with pans and crockery etc. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine May 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Just be aware of the fire alarm system - check with desk for explanation as it goes off for no reason and is very scary trying to switch off or evacuate ?!?!? ##### Christine Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kerry Mar 15, 2024 Liked: Communication Room was very tired and grubby ##### Kerry Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon Jan 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great position of property. Good view. Very expensive for an appartment which is serviced by yourself! No housekeeping for the first week. No Pay tv availability which we found annoying. Property is a bit dated. ##### Sharon Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kerrie Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I think all the bad reviews must be about the same apartment ? Our apartment was very dated. We had to use a fork to get plug out of the bath. Black tape for fix of pipe work (visible) and floor filthy. Isn’t one bedroom. Front door opens straight into bedroom area and they have a screen you can pull across (but then can’t get around the bed if you do) more like a studio apartment. Definitely not one bedroom. Walked around barefoot and feet were very dirty quite soon. The main issue was the balcony. The chairs were extremely worn/split fabric. We did have a sea view if you looked directly in front but the main view was of the backs and side of restaurants inc McDonald’s. So bin areas/parking etc. so we also had noise from all their huge extractors and the food smells. apartments own air con extractor is located on the balcony which is noisy. Turning that off helps slightly ? All this meant we didn’t really use the balcony, which was disappointing as that’s a main reason we booked this. Photos very misleading.cant believe the cost tbh as we have had so much better for less. We expected to be able to enjoy breakfast /a glass of wine on the balcony. This was impossible. The location is really good, (very noisy from pub til late on a Saturday) staff friendly. Apparently we had a very good apartment when we asked at checking in?? I assume that was a standard reply as it honestly is very poor. Also WiFi is additional cost? Fab area but book somewhere else. ##### Kerrie Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Melanie Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness The BreakFree Cairns boasts some amazing staff, central location and an aging building with odd unit design. Our experience had us "jokingly" terming it the BreakDown Royal Harbour. In hindsight, we feel we ought to have been partially refunded for the inconveniences. On the positive side Central location \*Comfy beds \*Clean \*Excellent staff, mostly. One man (Valter) was 5 star... hope you get him for service! He's incredible. \*Spacious lounge area, although no powerpoints or lamps near sofa for reading at night. \*Lovely gardens and pool. \*Book share area. It may have been a one off, but unfortunately our 9 night stay wasn't smooth at all. The room was more suited to the younger person or a couple, not two more mature ladies. \* Unfortunately, we had no cold water on our first day. This was rectified. \* The spa with shower was difficult to get into and also very slippery so we were given a non slip mat. \* The bathroom was not really suitable for twin share travellers and better for couples as it had only glass petitions and no privacy from the outside world. We were on the ground floor. \* The washing machine broke down completely. \* Bedroom was extremely small, had no natural light and lacked privacy and had no room for two suitcases. \* Kitchen was pretty but impractical -no dishwasher, no pantry space, no oven, had to ask for basics like salad bowls etc Things were rectified by the staff, but our good experiences at the Breakfree were few. Location was great! ##### Melanie Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### TOMOYO Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication アクセスが良く、部屋からの眺めも素敵だった。 ##### TOMOYO Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Room comfort #### Disappointed Very disappointed. On the 6th level 04. The dryer was in the living room area. The air conditioner was very loud and affected me sleeping. The vanity was cracked. The plumbing of the vanity was held together with duct tape. The front door open into the bedroom. The noise from the foyer of the lifts open and closing could be easily herd in bedroom when you were trying to sleep. There was an ocean view but most of the view was the carparks and air condition plants and rear fire escapes and of adjust buildings. There is much better value in new properties for the money paid. I have stayed here on many occassions over the 15 years and have had be allocated much better rooms.The location is fantastic. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Belise Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Belise-Apartments.h16643532.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa La Estancia Beach Resort & Spa Riviera Nayarit](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Villa-La-Estancia-Beach-Resort-Spa-Riviera-Nayarit.h1737201.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d10131-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Hilton-Surfers-Paradise-Hotel-And-Residences.h4238660.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [The Casablanca Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-The-Casablanca-Hotel.h477749.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh Surf Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Surf-Apartments.h4593274.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Burlington, ON - Toronto West - Oakville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Motel-6-Burlington.h996074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h11768.Hotel-Information) > > [Q1 Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Q1-Resort-Spa.h1859086.Hotel-Information) > > [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sea-World-Resort.h871443.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Mississauga-Hotels.d7954.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Indianapolis (IND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ind/toronto-to-indianapolis) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/mco/hamilton-to-orlando) > > [Caribbean Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Caribbean-Airlines-Flights.cBW.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Nassau (NAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nas/toronto-to-nassau) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) ### Cruise > [Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Caribbean-International-Adventure-Of-The-Seas.cRC-sAD.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Miami Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami.d178286.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Cosmic Adventures](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosmic-Adventures-Gloucester.d553248621532865701.Vacation-Attraction)
