Although it is far from the city center, there are many playgrounds, including three pools, so elementary school students can play all day. You can cook your own meals in the room, so I grilled some Aussie beef steaks I bought at the supermarket on the gas stove in the facility and ate them. You can get to the city center by bus, so you don't need a taxi. I would like to visit again.

I stayed during my child's spring break. First of all, you should not mistake it for understanding that this is not a hotel, but an apartment. It's a very nice place if you can prepare your own things and buy them as needed. Good access to Cairns shopping centers and major facilities, no problem with rental car parking spaces, the pool is only for guests, so you can use it almost for charter, and you can use the veranda freely. Above all, I liked the owner's friendly greeting and wanted to stay more. We booked from the day before arrival because the flight from Japan was early in the morning, but we were able to tell us how to enter the room in advance by email, so we took a shower and rested and played well from the afternoon I was able to! What I'm glad I brought with me was body soap and soft tissue, and what I wanted was a tephron-processed frying pan? I can't think of anything in particular ... Basically, you can buy anything at the supermarket or the object shop opposite! Have a nice trip!

It was larger and cleaner than I expected. It's out of the city center, but I used Uber so it wasn't a big deal. I was also pleased that a welcome drink was included.

The hotel's location is in the city center. My flight arrived early, so I took an Uber from the airport for AU$30 (it can be as cheap as AU$20 during off-peak hours), arriving at the hotel around 12:00 PM. The front desk informed me that check-in wasn't possible until after 2:00 PM, which is standard policy. However, I was also told that luggage storage wasn't free and would cost AU$6 to use a locker. I've stayed at many hotels where luggage storage is complimentary for guests, so this charging policy felt quite unfriendly. Thankfully, I didn't have much luggage, so I just took it with me to grab some food before coming back to check in. After checking in, I noticed other issues: 1. The Wi-Fi signal was very weak, almost non-existent during the day (it was sometimes usable at night). When I asked the front desk, they said there was nothing they could do. I ended up using my China Mobile data (capped at 30 RMB/day, which was acceptable). There was a router-like device in the room, but the front desk said it was only for connecting the phone and not related to the internet. 2. The bathroom sink faucet was too low, so I had to use the showerhead to fill the electric kettle. 3. The toilet seat was installed at an awkward angle and wouldn't stay up on its own; you had to hold it, which was quite strange. 4. The door's soundproofing wasn't very good; I could hear people talking in the corridor late at night. On the positive side: The staff tried their best to provide good service, but the issues with the hardware were beyond their control. Although the hotel equipment was a bit old, the room was spacious with a private bathroom. The in-room facilities were quite comprehensive, with multiple USB charging ports (which are not common in Australian hotels). The room was also clean, tidy, and quiet. After 6:00 PM daily, a password was required to enter the main hotel door, which felt secure. Directly opposite the hotel, across the road, was a Woolworths supermarket (6:00 AM - 10:00 PM), and there were plenty of dining options nearby. Most departure points for Great Barrier Reef day trips at the Reef Fleet Terminal were a 10-minute walk away. The hotel's greatest asset is its location, followed by its relatively cheap price and spacious rooms with private bathrooms. Despite these various issues, personally, I might still choose to stay at Hides again next time I'm in Cairns.

When we arrived at the reception, the door was locked, and no one is at the counter. The gd thing was we were allowed to leave our luggage near the reception cabinet due to early arrival in the morning, while we went for our day tour. We are able to collect our key in their deposit box which is well arranged. Our luggages were carried to out room, which is considered a good service. Unfortunately. one of our luggage handle was damaged without informing us at all! TV is not working, and wifi is totally non-existence.

The only regrettable hotel in Australia and New Zealand. Let me talk about the advantages firstly: it is close to the beach, only a few minutes walk, you can walk, no beach, and the sea water is cloudy. Walk to the city center for about half an hour and there are buses. Besides the disadvantages: the hotel is old, the Wi-Fi signal is often not available, the room is crammed, the kitchen operation table is next to the bed, and you have to be very careful when washing. There was also a striking warning-1,000 fines for triggering a smoke alarm. The swimming pool downstairs was completely unused, with leaves and unknown objects floating in it. The most frustrating thing is that the ants on the wall are all in the tea cup after returning for a while. At night I crawled into my neck! Will not go again.
