Probably a bit more than average and ok for our needs. We only had a couple of nights in Cairns, so chose a studio apartment, although even for a couple of nights with our luggage it seemed quite small. If you just want somewhere to lay your head for the night, it would be fine. The kitchen was adequate and... More

Walking distance from the station and 10 minutes walk from the esplanade, clean and tidy accommodation at a very good price. Comments below about hotel services should be taken in context, these are serviced apartments not a hotel and frankly it is not far from the coast - the reality is that a hotel on the coast is probably $40...

Good spot for your stay. You are in walking distance from the Esplanade and Reef Terminals. There is a huge Shopping mall, Cairns Central about 100met. away. The rooms are roomy, fully equipped kitchen and laundry which you share with next door. Swimming pools were well serviced as was the BBQ area. We were on the second floor at the... More

While the apartment was Ok, the facility offered NO hotel services. Apartment was several flights up, with no help with luggage, office closed from 7PM to 7AM, no linen or towel service and was FAR from the coast. NOT a facility I would recommend. More

Very noisy with people coming home from the pub at 3:00am, thin walls so you can hear everything in the room next door and wake up calls 4:30 - 7:30am for rooms that obviously had no one in them to turn them off. Also no lift and some very steep stairs to the 1st an 2nd floors. Not sure how... More

...it's VERY quiet, has friendly staff, right next to the mall (with a supermarket), near the city center and it has nice large rooms with all the cooking amenities you will need. I'd definitely stay there again. They are apartments so they won't clean the room every day (it's not a hotel). My only gripe is they made out that... More

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights at Southern Cross this month during the Ester Holidays. The service was very poor. No one came to clean our room for the two days we stayed there. I would not go there again. More

We got here quite late on Easter Saturday after a long day travelling. The reception area was closed so we rang for the night manger. There was a mix up with our booking and they had no record of us so I was worried we would not even get a room, but Peter the night manager dealt with us swiftly... More

We stayed in a clean studio apartment for 7 nights from 28 March 2012. The room was serviced once during our stay, we were supplied with fresh sheets and towels after 3 days. The 3 pools in the complex are lovely, $5 hire fee if you need to hire pool towels. There is a $2 charge for each additional bath... More
