Close to the centre of the city. The room was appropriate and clean and reasonable for the price. The shower is not the best, however having plates and cutlery was great for me. Recommended.

Great place and solid value
The hotel was great for the price! Not many frills but the location is great and the value for the money is excellent. It is bacically a one bedroom apartment with plenty of room.

8/10 Very Good

The staff were so welcoming and helpful when booking tours. The apartment was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The pool area was nice and also neat and tidy. The only down side was the external look of the property, as it operates as a car rental business and the building is old and in need of repair. However the price per night compensates for this and although the building is dated inside the apartment is very clean with an updated kitchenette and freshly painted with new blinds, floor coverings, aircon and offers Netflix. Perfect accommodation on a budget and walking distance to everything.

Tired and dated, located next to a hostel and late night party venue and at the back of a car rental. If you want to be woken early but cars shifting around, then you are in for a treat. The place needs freshening up. It was way too expensive for what you get.

The property is well situated and easily within walking distance to the city center, medical center and restaraunts. The staff were friendly and welcoming and there is a rental car business on site. There is no self parking on site. The shower had excellent pressure.

As an older property it was very spacious inside and all things needed for a stay were provided; not flash but well presented. Easy walk to shops, the esplanade and the market. Will stay again if I need another overnighter in Cairns. Comfy bed, helpful staff, and great price. Only issue was early check-in - by 4:30pm and no on-site parking.

Very noisy in the morning. Not an issue if you leave before 0800ish however.

8/10 Very Good

My visit to A1 was a pleasant surprise, when I first arrived, I was not sure, but I quickly found myself seeing so much potential in the property. The apartment was clean, well organised, but as you stay longer you notice it is just in need of a freshen up. The kitchenette was basic but very user friendly, fans in each room were refreshing, but like most Cairns locations there is not heating provided to the rooms, so if you sleep cold be sure to rug up. Backpackers behind were a little noisy in the early hours of Sunday morning, but besides that the overall location was lovely. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Quiet location overnight however it’s not the place for a sleep in with rental cars being cleaned outside your window at 6.30am! Car doors slamming, vacuum cleaner noise, cars being moved.

What i didnt like someone had tied a plastic bag over the smoke alarm in the bedroom. I reported this to a staff member. The motel room was clean and close to the city centre walking distance.
