Spent two nights here, the motel is very clean and the rooms are comfortable. Close to the CBD and the rate includes continental breakfast. Juice, tea, coffee, cereal and toast, basic but enough. Bed was comfortable and the surrounds were quiet. Didnt use the shuttle to the airport but they have one. Could use a light over the desk so... More

My wife and I booked this motel through a local tour agent who had recommended this place for our 3-night stay. It was economically priced as we were going to out most of the two days stay. We arrived in the afternoon and managed to book in just before the heavy rainfall. To book the shuttle you can use the... More

My wife and I recently traveled to Cairns and stayed four nights in the Balinese hotel. Overall, it was about what I expected...nothing too fancy but nice enough that I wasn't depressed or grossed out about staying there. The rooms were clean and nicely laid out with solid AC and a large TV. We booked this place mainly due to... More

The bedroom was really nice, air conditioning and a really comfortable atmosphere. The bathroom was fine; the pool was small but nice for a dip and to relax. The Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Got picked up at the airport no charge (just let them know when your coming, otherwise there is a special phone at the... More

Pretty nice place, kindly staff, nice swimming pool and pretty close of the down town (10 mn walking). This hostel should be greater for a couple or family instead a solo backpacker. Rooms are very nice and confortable, kitchen are clean, u can go there without any surprise. The only bad point perhaps, due to the low season, is there... More

The excellent service began with the pickup from the airport. Nice self-service continental breakfast provided provided (not common in Australia). Breakfast was in an open room next to the (small) pool - very pleasant. The location is within walking distance to the town center. The room was clean and free parking was available (we picked up a rental car in... More

We have just spent four very enjoyable nights at the Balinese in Cairns. This motel knows what it is and does it excellently- the rooms are spotless, simply decorated and have all you really need(inc a spacious wardrobe and a fridge). Staff are friendly and helpful- the airport transfers were well organised and they booked our trips to the reef... More

If this motel was closer to town, it would be perfect. The room and bathroom were clean. The beds were acceptable (a little hard). They had wifi. The only downside was the distance from town. The esplanade was close. Staff was very helpful in setting up our tours.
