Great breakfast! Great facilities overall but the hallway carpets were worn and stained and needed a good cleaning or replacement. Also, our floor and room had an underlying odor of mold. I realize this is a coastal property with a lot of inherent moisture but moldy odors should be mitigated somehow.

Cairns International Airport has direct access to Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, and Darwin. Booking.com has a number of hostels, resorts and hotels in Cairns and Queensland.
A worn and sadly lacking site. It has all the hallmarks of investors who rake in the money but don't spend any money or maintenance and improvements. They could raise their star rating if they cared to invest in renovation., The lady at the front desk was very friendly;y. What a shame she has to represent such a sad venue.

There is little opportunity to interact with people outside of those in our circle of the delegation, including the hosts and those slotted in the program, during that trip. I would like to see more people to people interaction.

Excellent location.
Excellent location. You may not need a rented car if you stay in the central location. We stayed here for 5 days. Went to Great Barrier Reef, Green Island, Used the sky rail to go to Kurandra and came back by Scenic Rail. Snorkling at both Green Island and Great Barrier Reef was too good.

Brilliant clean pool in apartment.
Brilliant clean pool in apartment. We did Kuranda tour the train to the top of mountain and the cable car over the rainforest/ Green Island tour, where we enjoyed the glass bottom boat, snorkelling, and seeing the large crocodile that was recovering from an injury on the island. We also did Daintree crocodile river tour and we saw 3 crocodiles, went swiming in Rossman Gorge. The tours were fantastic and so was Cairns, we had the holiday of a life time. Thankyou to everyone for the wonderful tours.

I wasn't too keen, it was a humid sweatbox and I didn't feel particularly safe at night walking the streets. Plenty to do activity wise during the day. The Croc Bar was the best bit. $10 steak & fires. Night market is just tat and the food places within the night market aren't great. Decent-ish night-life and the drinks are cheaper than the big city's.

The Hotel is located in an excellent location, very near to all tourist attractions in Cairns as well as to Bars, Restaurants and the Harbor. We have been welcome by a friendly reception staff and could direct get into our room. The hotel is very clean and takes care on environmentally friendly use of products and tools / equipment. Even it is close to the neighboring bars / restaurants, the rooms are quiet. Access to the hotel guests areas are secured by suitable access control.
Location of the hotel is perfect to explore Cairns CBD. The one bedroom apartments are very modern and are located on level 1 to 4. They only get serviced every third day but you can get fresh towels or any missing bathroom items by informing Reception and they will bring it to your room. The walk-in shower is nice and the water pressure is good! The bed was very comfortable with not too soft pillows. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on their food.
Excellent stay at oaks Cairns. The location was perfect - right across from the esplanade pool and very close to the reef terminal, lots of places to eat nearby to! The rooftop bar was a stunning place to have a coffee while watching the sunrise over the coral sea! Staff were wonderful, I had to make a few changes to my stay and they were always very helpful. The shower was probably the best ever I’ve had in a hotel!
Older style but very clean and comfortable with good instructions for late night entry. Close proximity to the Cairns Esplanade and some lovely coffee shops for breakfast. Arrived after midnight on a late flight - this hotel is one of the closest to the airport - only $19 for taxi. Hotel cost just over $100, a real bargain, given an unexpected overnight stop thanks to Jetstar changes to an international flight.
I really appreciated my stay in this hostel :) My shared room was kept clean and tidy, the kitchen and the dinning room were sufficiently equipped (with coffee and tea at our disposal), the location was ideal (close to everything), the staff was attentive to my needs ans I met wonderful people.
I can only recommend staying in this hotel if you want to enjoy Cairns !
- Location is great, $20-25 taxi one-way from Airport to the Hotel. Very close walk to Cairns esplanade and everything on offer.
- The view from the Ocean View King Room is great, and you really appreciate the beauty throughout the various times of day.
- Bathroom was modern.
- Majority of staff were very friendly and helpful.
View from Level 7 is great and the location was a convenient walk to the main part of Cairns with all the restaurants and cafes. The unit was very big - with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a laundry, living area and two bathrooms - suited our family needs very well. The pool at the property was good - it seemed well maintained.
Spacious room with balcony, sea view and hot buffet breakfast that's on the esplanade, has free parking and is a pleasant walk from all you need in Cairns. It's great. Only down side is that it's an old, large hotel that you could say needs modernisation but that was reflected in the price. We would use it again.
Simple hotel but with a nice vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant, which is part of the hotel, is very good and definitely worth a visit.
Not a negative, but in case important to people, the location is about a 20-minute walk from the Esplanade and the more buzzy areas of Cairns.
The staff was amazing from check in to check out. They even stored my luggage while I did a scuba liveaboard. The hotel itself is older but the rooms have been renovated. The gym was sufficient. The location is perfect right at the Esplanade. Easy to walk for food, leisure or the incredible sunsets.
Our planned arrival time changed several times, including on the day of arrival. David was really very responsive and, well, forgiving. The location is especially good for anyone who wants a place near the airport for a next-day departure, while MUCH nicer and quieter than a typical airport hotel.
An excellent location. It is within walking distance to the Esplanade and Cairns Private Hospital. I enjoyed the upgrade. Although the motel is showing it age in places, it is clean. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. The full breakfast was excellent value.
our room was lovely and very clean, we enjoyed the pool area and the location of the hotel was great and so convenient to the tourist hub of Cairns, the breakfast was more than adequate with a great choice and the staff in your breakfast area were exceptionally helpful.
I liked the fact that the hotel was on the bus route for great transportation into Cairns City.
I liked that I booked through booking.com for a cheaper rate.
I liked that the staff where fantastic and doing there best to provide comfort.
The hotel is perfectly located, the room was perfect with a great view of the Esplanade and the sea. I like the fact that the rooms are not serviced daily from a sustainability aspect and allowing "sleep ins" to be uninterrupted.
The location of the hotel was perfect, so close to Cairns centre, the marina and the Esplanade.
The beds are soooo comfy!! Slept better than ever every night.
The staff were so friendly, so eager to please and help.
The hotel itself is possible the most beautiful in Cairns with a magnificent lobby and entry. The refurbished rooms were gorgeous and the Harbour view was amazing!
