We stayed at Tropical Queenslander, Cairns, QLD, Australia in January, 2013. Although branded as a 3 1/2 star lodging it was anything but. Mold, dirt, shopping carts were just a few of the views we had from our 2nd floor balcony. Although we changed rooms, attempting to get a better room, that was impossible. Whatever you do, avoid this lodging!!!

So I was a little nervous about staying here after reading most of the negative reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I should also note beforehand that there is new management at this hotel and they seem serious about getting this hotel up to par. The rooms were comfortable and clean and staff were always very friendly and ready to... More

This is a below standard Motel which I would have avoided had there been a choice: 600,000 thousand people invaded Cairns to watch the Solar Eclipse - we were not among them. The only good thing about the place is the water pressure which is the highest I have ever met. The restaurant is 300 yards down the road (not80... More

We stayed here for 2 nights as a last minute booking as this was relatively cheap. Firstly, the reception lady was really friendly when we checked in and out. But the hotel itself needs some renovations done....we also felt very unsafe as the first thing she told us was to always make sure the door is closed as 'they are... More

We were in the process of changing ownership, some staffs were new and gave you the wrong impression. The room is safe to place your valuable items.

Located in 30 minutes from the center of tourist area and the pier. There is a feeling that everything is aged- not redecorated for years. Room is simple, not too bad but not very clean. Has a small kitchenette. Reception works till 6pm. No free wifi. Does not cost the money paid, to be frank.

Booked here as friends we were to meet had done so. Very disappointing. Rooms were shabby, cleanliness marginal. Pool had not been cleaned for some time. Traffic noise was horrendous. Fans too noisy to live with. Hair dryer burnt out. Seems to be an hotel used by locals who loiter about. Much, much nicer places to stay for similar $... More

Wanted a cheap place to stay close to the airport which this place certainly is but you get what you pay for. Lumpy beds, noisy air conditioners, far from downtown, not so nice pool. The service was nice at the desk.

Stayed for a few nights in a double room. It is a good place to stay, nothing special, just a clean comfy not too expensive hotel room. Location is not bad, because close to the Esplanade, but a fair walk to the CBD. Hotel staff is nice.
