Happy hour is a movable treat in The Tropical Queenslander

Advantages: Moderately priced self-catering accomodation in Cairns
Disadvantages: Decor a bit dated and food in restaurant looked uninteresting

The Tropical Queenslander Hotel, Cairns LOCATION: The Tropical Queenslander hotels in Cairns are both located Lake Street which is about 15 minutes walk to the main centre of Cairns but about 5 minutes to the nearest shops and take away restaurants and a bar. Both the hotels are classified as 3.5 * accommodation with self catering facilities. The Tropical Queenslander which is where stayed had 58 rooms so it was quite a small complex and was only ...
...back and the Reception was at the front. The complex spread across a block so that the back entrance was on a different street to the front and reception area. RECEPTION: The reception was NOT open 24 hours so if you were arriving late I would imagine you had to make special arrangements. Reception actually closed at 8pm which could also become a problem as the only safe/safety deposit was in Reception. If you put something in this safe and then ...

Excursion trips pick you up from a specially allocated bus stop outside. There is food and a shopping centre over the road offering shopping and clothes shopping. So essentials for trips and food two minutes ...

Review of Palm Royale, Cairns

TERRIBLE and HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: all other things

...stayed for 5 nights at Gilligans BED BUG Backpackers Resort - the first two nights my friend and I stayed in a 4-bed dorm and we thought we were in the best hostel ever ... anyway, things changed. 2 other friends joined us and we moved into a 8-bed dorm. First night was ok (ok it was loud, cause its a party hostel and we got no sleep) but before 2nd night we found out the ALL beds were infested with lots of BED BUGS - we moved/swiched 3 (!) times ...
...front desk just laughed at us - nobody ever said sorry or anything else. We had booked 6 nights - before the last night we again found out that in this "new" room were also BED BUGS. The front desk lady gave us a "quaranteen" room and said it's fully cleaned and it is sure that there are NO bed bugs for our last night (and if there are, we took them with us) - we went up to the room and it really looked nice and fresh cleaned - BUT: we moved the ...

Review of Cairns Central YHA, Australia

The best place to stay in Cairns

Advantages: Extremely clean, fantastic facilities and brilliant location
Disadvantages: Check in not until 2pm.

...that I could not fault Gilligans and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. If you have just started your trip in Australia they have a helpful tour desk with lots of offers so they can help plan your journey.The bar area is a great place to meet new people and had a great chilled atmosphere.This is definitely a place for young backpackers and like-minded people. However I would not recommend families to stay here as it gets quite loud in the ...
