The staff were polite and courteous. The problem is with the noise level. You could hear everything going on in the place and it made it impossible to sleep. The walls were so thin, i could hear the neighbour's tv. Would not recommend if you actually need to slee

Balinese flavour close to Cairns Hospital

We had hoped to postpone our stay by a week but found that the cancellation policy kicked in almost three days before we were due to arrive and there was no recourse to changing dates. Fortunately, rather than sacrifice the 100% cost, we were able to work things so we could make use of the night. We enjoyed a first class meal at the attached Balinese Restaurant with a delicious menu and fast, friendly and professional service. We had a studio room with a kitchenette with a microwave and essentials for self-catering if desired. Although the decor may be considered dated, the room was spotless and the beds were comfortable with no road noise from outside. There is a medium sized swimming pool in the centre of the two-story complex. There is limited secure parking. The location is ideal for those needing to be close to Cairns Hospital and nearby medical services. It is also handy to other restaurants and a block from the Esplanade.
