I just needed a nights stay close to the airport for the Red Eye flight out of Cairns to Brisbane. The price was good and the room was clean. For what you pay, I'd stay their again. The room had a slight stale smell about it (possibly older carpets etc); but they were clean. The owners were incredibly friendly and offered to upgrade me; but that wasn't required - for my sleep only night. I'd stay again if it was for 1 night prior to an early flight out.

After having some last minute flight cancellations, we found ourselves needing a night's accommodation in Cairns. Our flight arrived late in the evening, so we wanted something reasonable just to get a good night's sleep. The price was fantastic and the room was more than adequate for our stay. The hotel clearly communicated the after-hours check-in procedures and we found our key and made it to our room very quickly and easily. The bed was comfortable and the room was quite large with self-contained amenities for those seeking a longer stay. We enjoyed a chat with staff at reception in the morning, they were so very friendly and only too happy to help. My only feedback would be to please clean the fans in the room, there was quite a lot of built up dust on them. Not a deal breaker for us (we are in the tropics) but something worth mentioning. The aircon worked great. Thanks for a nice stay :)…

We had booked for 2 nights but left after only one night. The room was not well soundproofed and the air-conditioning struggled. There was a stale smell in the room, the curtains were hanging of their hooks and the backing on them was coming away. On a brighter note the room was reasonably clean, the bed comfortable and the water pressure was great.

Please do not make stories when you want to check out earlier on some other reasons .No any smell in the room and Air-con not noisy at all. We are disappointing on your behavior as well.

Great location and really lovely + extremely helpful staff! Our room wasn’t 100% clean (needed a better wipe down and dishes properly cleaned), otherwise I would give this 5 stars. The pool, laundry and water pressure however were excellent. If you don’t mind a lack of cleanliness, Reef Palms has everything you need on a bit of a budget!
