Cairns nice twin room
have kitchen for cooking free
I travel to cairnswith limit budget. This twin room is clean and cheap. They provide kitchen that I can cook that is very nice. Because the meal price is very high in cairns. This hotel is very near the Cairns central mall with supermarket inside. I buy meat, vegetables, and fruits and cook for ourself. We live there for two days with nice meals. Many peoples are very nice and smile. Ther are also free TV and movies provided. The internet are also available with low price. This hotel is what I need, I strongly recommend This hotel to you, if you are also a limited budget person. Thank you!!

Friendly service & great extras
Convenient to station & shopping centre & food extras good for budget travellers
Our first back-packer experience and we would return. Friendly and quiet although room was hot even with fan. The facilities were good - bathroom, kitchen with crockery and utensils, laundry facilities and clothes line. Included was a voucher for a free simple meal at Woolshed Bar if you buy one drink or a cheap upgrade to the full menu. Comment re food irrelevant as not provided but you can cook your own.

ケアンズ中心部から離れているが長期滞在者向けか。シャワートイレきれい
フロントの対応はまずまずであるが、決まった時間しかフロントはあいていない
エアコンが別途請求される。一日４ドル。バックパッカーにとっては結構痛いかも。 近くにはマックとケンタッキーしかない。スーパーがないため本当に不便だった。 確かフロントの時間は７時半から１２時と１６時から２０時。この時間内でないと対応してくれません。 ちなみにWi-Fiも別途料金かかります。１時間で２、３ドルだった気がする。

環境優越，清潔待加強
離市中心近
公共設施太少，廚房太髒， 公共設備要再額外付費，冷氣也是，建議可以增加多點設施，更方便許多！廁所空間太狹小，希望可以大一點！！！

케언즈 최악의 위치
예쁜 정원, 싼 가격, 조용한 위치
케언즈 지리를 잘 몰라서, 하루 묶었었는데, 정말 주위에 할것도 업고 위치가 안 좋아요. 시내까지 걸어서 가려면 최소 30분은 걸어야 하고,,, 주변에 뭘 사먹을때도 없고... 방도 좁고, 공용 화장실도 정말 안 좋아요. 다른곳 찾아보시길 추천합니다.
