Location is the best close to lagoon for an early morning swim, great coffee shops, restaurants all in walking distance. I did not like my room as paid premium price but room was so small & ordinary in need of renos and soulless. Good bit that early in the morning you got a great view of the Esplanade & Lagoon but became to hot in the afternoon to sit on the balcony.

I don't think I could be paid to stay here again. The room and bathroom were the most dated awful room I have ever seen. The wifi did not work at all for our entire stay. When I asked Reception Staff about why the wifi wasn't working, she shrugged her shoulders and said there was nothing she could do. There are very limited gym facilities (no weights) and the one treadmill was out of order. There are basically no facilities at all - no room service, no breakfast, no housekeeping. Limited free parking nearby but none available while we were there so we drove around for 30 mins to find somewhere to park. I have stayed at many places in Cairns City and in my opinion and experience, this was by far the worst.

Was a good place to stay, the rooms were older but perfectly maintained, and very quiet despite the busy neighbourhood. The front desk staff were friendly and gave a good recommendation for a pizza place nearby. My only complaint would be having to ask to borrow the luggage trolley and move my 5 bags of luggage upstairs on my own. I was travelling for work and had equipment with me. I was struggling with this and there were two people at the front desk, it would have been nice if someone offered to help.

Unique? I wouldn’t call anything about this property professional let alone neat. I made a booking on here, only to arrive and have someone already checked into my room. They desk lady called the room and asked for whom ever to come down to reception only for the person who came down to have changed his name twice. Nothing was right about the whole situation. I did not want the room following, I wanted my money back. Yet to receive a refund from both Wotif or Mantra Esplanade Cairns.

I had such high hopes about staying here. The photos of a sun drenched pool looked like just the sort of winter time retreat I needed. Unfortunately, the pool is placed in an awkward corner at the back of the property - and received NO SUN at any time of the day. It also WASN’T HEATED - not even a little bit (ice-cold spa anyone??). Needless to say, my dreams of relaxing poolside while my kids played for hours on end in the water were never realised. The broken treadmill in the gym was another disappointment. It remained unfixed for the entire time we were staying. I have no issue with the room itself. Thankfully, we were assigned a room with a balcony that got direct sunlight. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location of the hotel was very convenient for getting to local attractions - I just wish the pool was a useful space instead of an afterthought.

The hotel was really nice and located in a great area right in front of the beach, with lots of dining and shopping options within walkable distance. The staff were amazing and really friendly, and always happy to help if we had questions or needed things for the room restocked. The rooms were for the most part really clean. Potentially there could have been another sweep though the bathroom, but other than that everything was great. It's also walking distance to Woolworths which is really convenient if you want to pack/prepare food for day trips. The free parking included with the room was really handy, especially because we picked up a rental car for some day trips. Overall the experience was great and I would definitely stay again.
