Cairns Resorts

Breakfast good and service also good, friendly staff Bathroom filthy, and ants everywhere. After mentioning it to the cleaning staff and at the reception desk nothing changed, the bathroom wasnt taken care of at all.

The only good words i can say about this hotel is that it was close to the Reef Terminal where we caught our ferry out to the reef the following morning. On arrival i asked if they still did cheap movie tickets for locals (people who live in Cairns) and they said yes so i paid $20 cash for 2 tickets so i could take my daughter, visiting from interstate, to the movies that afternoon, we didnt go but on checking out this hotel said i never paid and wanted another $20 for them which i refused to pay, in the end i gave them the movie tickets back. I could tell that they didnt believe that i had already paid, they asked me for a receipt for the tickets but i was never given one. So seeing as i live in Cairns and i have a lot of interstate visitors the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort, will never see me back there, any of my local friends there and definately none of my interstate visitors staying ther

Central location, a walk to everywhere, great pool for kids , free internet really cool. Good breakfasts. Room was musty on arrival, but we were offered to change.

The staff was very helpful. Big cockroaches in the room. Maybe because Cairns has a tropical weather, but the insects were really disgusting.

First. The location of this Hotel sucks. The ads say it is 7 mins away from the city center. not true! Unless you have your own car-do not stay here. Cabs are expensive $20 one way to city. Takes 15-20 mins to reach. It is far away from the airport as well. second. They charged the tariff at a very high exchange rate almost over 0.90 (aud to usd) whereas all other hotels in Australia charged us at the rate of 0.86. Therefore, even though this hotel was "cheap" it ended up not being so. third. The reception is not 24 hrs. On Sundays it closes at 2pm so you can't even check-in. There is a bell to call someone after hours but no one really ever comes. Once we got locked out of our room at night and rang the bell. Security showed up after 2 hrs Fourth There is no lift/elevator. We had to carry heavy luggage up 2 flights of stairs and even though reception said they would send help they didn't-at the time of check in and check out. fifth. Filled with insects mosquitoes and what not. Cheap rates mean cheap stuff but this was ridiculous. fifth: Even after complaining no one seemed to accept their mistake about anything. sixth: There was no phone in the room and no internet. Furniture was old and sheets were dirty. Poor hygiene.SEVENTH: Breakfast was supposed to be included but we had to shell out $5.50 extra to upgrade to full from continental-which was only tea and toast. What a total rip off! I do not recommend this place. There are plenty of much nicer hotels near the city center.

very quiet area if thats what you are looking for in the middle of nowhere. car is essential. no restaurants or bars nearby. arrived late eve could not get anything to eat
