Well appointed and great location
Pros:

Nice apartment layout. Very clean. Nice kitchen equipment Location was excellent and the guy who checked us in who recommended the Cock and Bull Pub was great.

Cons:

Needed bedside tables (there was only 1 in between the beds could have done with one either side of both beds).
A lift would have been nice also

Great stay. Would recommend and stay again
Pros:

Great location
Friendly staff
Gave me a extra bed for a child at no extra cost

Cons:

It would be great to have some more gluten free options at breakfast.
A doona with a removable cover for the beds would be much nicer than those fluffy blankets and would feel cleaner.

Pros:

Friendly staff and a baggage room for storage if you arrive early which was really handy. Easy walk to the esplanade, shops and train station if going to Kuranda. There is no elevator so probably not the place for you if you can’t do stairs. Pool and BBQ area pleasant.

Cons:

Noting it was a reasonable price and the room was clean but very tired and in need of repair. The bathroom door didn’t shut at all, really dirty grout looking and mould in bathroom. In need of a spruce up

Good value for money

Cons:

The internet was patchy and we couldn’t access all free to air tv stations so we couldn’t watch the state of origin.

Great pre and post tour accommodation for our short stay in Cairns.
Pros:

Great breakfast options and we were able to use our discount voucher from selecting "no" to housekeeping for our 2 night stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We loved the "left luggage" facility which meant we could leave excess items behind instead of lugging with us on our weight limited tour. Location was nice and quiet but within easy walking distance to the esplanade.

Cons:

We understand that the bathrooms in some rooms had recently been updated but there were no towel rails nor hooks as yet (in the room we had) - no issue - this was resolved by mentioning to reception who promptly provided us with a drying rack. :-) There was a poor view of adjacent, run down property from our room's verandah for our first 2 nights which wasn't pleasant to see but we were not in the room each day for too long.

Super saubere & zentrale Unterkunft in Cairns
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal und sehr nahe am Zentrum, so dass wir das Auto nicht bewegen mussten.
Es war einfach aber wirklich sauber und für den Preis wirklich ein tolles Guesthouse.
Frühstück war sehr gut und super unkompliziert!

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden

Pros:

スタッフが皆、とても親切で明るいです。滞在中、ずっと楽しい気持ちにさせてくれました。チェックイン時に旅行の予定を聞いてくれたので、グリーンランドに行くと答えたら、港の場所を地図で教えてくれました。他にも近くの美味しいレストラン、ナイトマーケットの場所などを教えてくれたので、行ってみたところ、とても良かったです。部屋のトイレやシンクやシャワーも清潔で気持ち良く過ごせました。

Cons:

部屋の防音性は低めなので、他の部屋の扉が閉まる音など、まあまあ聞こえます。でも耳栓が部屋に用意されており、配慮してくれていると思いました。

Comfortable property close to city centre convenient for a short stay.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was close to the city centre and also close to the transport I needed. I was also upgraded on my arrival. Breakfast whilst not as extensive as many other properties was suitable and plentiful.

Cons:

About the only thing wrong with the property was the fan in the bedroom was making noises during the night so I had to turn it off.

Pros:

Everything about Coral Tree Inn was fantastic, from their welcoming friendly staff to their value for money breakfasts. If you arrive earlier than checkin or have to hang around for late flight after checkout the facilities were superb. Top notch accommodation.

Cons:

Zero
