"Was greeted with a very warm welcome and like the stress free check in with easy to follow instructions. Room was spotless and with a nice view over the ocean,esplanade and lagoon. Everything we needed was here microwave.. stove..washing machine and all pots pans ect… Right outside front door is night markets and if you don’t want to cook there is a food court with food from around the world. But had a peaceful time and great security. Nice to return after 10 years and find it is still perfect....

### Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Re-furbished bedroom with ample space and balcony overlooking the esplanade so ocean view. The bathroom and tiles always gives away the age of the property. The bathroom sink did have a large crack in it. Shower was really powerful with instant hot water. Room climate control was on the cool side. Opening the door onto the balcony does switch it off. Bar and restaurant on ground floor so very convenient for a late arrival. Plenty of choice for the breakfast buffet."
