GGuest UserWe stayed in an executive room on the eighth (of nine) floors in mid-July.  The executive lounge was generally poorly stocked and food and drinks often unavailable with no staff around for over a couple of hours at a time. We were here for seven nights, so have a reasonably good time frame to judge.  The swimming pool is surprisingly frigid in July, actually unpleasantly cold when there was any kind of breeze or cloud cover.  The bathroom shower drainage was not ideal: every short shower resulted in puddles on the bathroom floor; long showers meant the whole floor was covered in standing water.  Every time the neighbors used the spa or coffee machine, the noises were very loudly transmitted into our room.  The balcony was very nice and the wicker furniture comfortable.

SSarah Foo X.M.Lovely hotel located at the other end of the Esplanade. The broad walk at the back of the hotel was nice to stroll along and an easy way to get to the city center. Kudos to the reception staff, Riccardo for leaving a really good first impression when I first arrived. He was so clear in explaining everything I needed to know before I checked in, and subsequent days when I saw him he was also really helpful with whatever requests I had. The room was big and spacious, very comfy beds!! The housekeeping staff were also friendly whenever I saw them as I head out for the day. Food from the room service was tasty. However, the breakfast buffet options were almost the same everyday though, wish there could have been more variety. But overall, I still had a rather pleasant stay here(:

For the first time backpacker experience, this hotel with a high local rating is actually transformed from several residential villas, and there is a small swimming pool in the middle yard. Kitchen sharing. Here you can make what you want. The plane arrived late at midnight on the day of check-in. After Ctrip's emergency coordination to adjust the arrival time, Ctrip is still reliable at critical times! The brand is still trustworthy. Go to the designated location and open the first side door, then go to the designated location at the front desk to pick up the room key. The family room has a large bed, a small bed, and a large sofa in the living room. Actually, it can be used for four or five people. In short, if the requirements are not too high, the price is 0k. Another thing is the hotel staff service is very nice! After opening the first door on the night of the check-in, we happened to meet the hotel manager and checked in directly for us without leaving that night. We also took the initiative to tell us about the use of the hotel. This hotel is recommended, Ctrip platform is reliable!

GGuest UserWe stayed 2 nights, mainly to be close to the Cairns Train station for the Kuranda scenic train trip, and to be able to cook in our own kitchen. It's a short walk to a major shopping centre. The apartment was clean and spacious but nothing to brag about. Everything worked fine. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our room, facing a street, was a bit noisy especially with the garbage trucks. All up...can't complain...but nothing fabulous.

PPHILLIP JAMESThe Mantra Hotel has outstanding location. It is directly in front of the Woolworths supermarket - the best option in central Cairns. It's also virtually opposite (the esplanade side)the lagoon public beachfront swimming pool. Finally it's just a 5 minute walk from Cairns Cruise Terminal, with outstanding day trips to Green Island, Fitzroy Island and the Reef. I booked a sea view room. When you enter the room, you don't see the ocean, but a building across the road. However, the view from the balcony was amazing. The balcony overlooks the main features of lagoon on the sea front. During the day it is great view - the lagoon pools and sea in the background. At night you cannot see the sea (as to be expected) but you have the amazing lagoon lights, which makes it very desirable and even romantic. Our room was at the end of block, which overlooks a shopping mall (no car noise) - looking right from the balcony is the lagoon view and looking left is a mountain view. However, from 2:00pm to 6:00pm the sun comes directly into the balcony area, which means it unusable until sun sets. Of course if you don't mind baking in the sun on the balcony, this is not really a concern. The room itself is pretty basic. The mini fridge of OK and TV has domestic channels only - no cable TV for BBC/CNN. The bathroom is of a good size. There is combined shower & bath. However, when using the shower, it can slightly flood this bathroom. A shower curtain may be desirable because the glass panel is not sufficient enough. At $225 per night this hotel was not cheap and you can better deals by coming in the off-season OR going bit further down the esplanade, and choosing another hotel. The Mantra does have its own pool and it is wonderfully heated, with normal deck chairs you would expect at 4 star hotel. However, the pool gets very little natural sunlight, because it of its location between 2 buildings. Overall, the hotel has amazing location, and it is still recommended, despite the shortcomings mentioned. My final note: When we checked in, I was impressed with the level of service provided by the receptionist. She had a very welcome attitude and a wonderful personality.

EEkwI stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights when I went to Cairns. There was a bus stop right in front of the hotel and it was close to Central, so the location was good. I also wish there was a ventilation fan in the bathroom. It was hot like a sauna during the shower.

GGuest UserAverage cleaning, the balcony should be a part of the room to be cleaned too. The room was fine ,the spring mattress I usually don’t like was fine to sleep on. Disappointed that I found a dirty bad matt in the bathroom cupboard,so instead we use a extra towel on the floor. Pest Control on the rooms should be good as we had a cockroach in the bathroom and ant in the tea /coffee cupboard. Otherwise position of the hotel is great close to town and some take away food restaurants. Good value , good for business people who travel around and don’t have to stay long.
