Amazing stay”
We stayed at Sunshine Towers for 3 nights. We checked in after hours but we were given all the codes and info via email and text on how to access the property. The carport is very secure as you do need to swipe your key fob to gain access. The room was very clean and had everything we needed down to dishwasher liquid and sponges. Definitely recommend this place to everyone who is considering holidaying in Cairns. It's also central to everything so don't have to drive far at all. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Great priced hotel in Cairns. Clean, comfy beds and friendly staff. Our room was facing the main street and it was noisy due to traffic. If you can, get a room facing the pool as its much quiet. The hotel is slightly far from the restaurants and the esplanade. Apart from the noise and the location, this is a great budget friendly hotel.

Convenient, easy to find, comfortable”
The Hotel is easy to find - and relocate, being possibly the tallest building in Cairns. The room was clean, tidy, well air-conditioned prior to arrival (appreciated), the staff friendly and helpful. A couple of complimentary bottles of water would have been really appreciated, but other than that no complaints.

Quick getaway”
Good hotel recently renovated. Lovely modern and clean. Staff gave us cooking equipment to use for our stay. Building has security access after hours. It was also a bonus to have free parking in the basement during our stay. It is within easy walking distance to town and promenade. Will definitely stay here again when travelling back to cairns.

Mixed review”
I have mixed emotions of this review, the ST hotel has good and bad features. What we did appreciate was the room being cleaned for our last night, this alone overcome our initial comments about lack of a table and chairs in the room. Due to fire alarms problems, a toaster was not provided. Not the end of the world, first time in many years I didn't start the day with tea and toast. I left a comment at the desk that safety grab rails should be fitted in the shower. No exhaust fan in the bathroom was a negative. I knew I might be asked to write a review and I am aware that reviews hurt businesses. However if the owners are prepared to invest some money in facilities such as table and chairs, exhaust fans and grab rails plus upgrade the kitchen areas, I would upgrade the review to recommending the STH to yes.

This was the cleanest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. The attention to detail was faultless. Bed was comfy and the room was much larger than expected. The pool area was also lovely. To top it all off the two ladies at reception that checked us in and out were so lovely and friendly and really added to the enjoyment of our stay.

Affordable hotel ”
Was an okay stay. We had a few issues with waiting to check in even though I requested an early check in they were very short staffed as someone was unwell. We were told our room was ready so we went up to the room to find a cleaner still in there, we then came back down and told the receptionist and she wasn’t very accommodating at all just kept making excuses about how busy they were. We then Waited for r room to be cleaned and it had been a while so I went upto got room to check and it was ready but we aren’t notified until we can back down. Also parking spaces are nowhere near enough, apparently someone had reversed into the garage door and broke it so it was jammed and couldn’t be closed so basically anyone could park there regardless if they were hotel guests or not. Rooms were quite comfortable and clean and the spa was nice but I wouldn’t stay again due to the stress of checking in and limited car spaces. Probably the worst hotel experience I have encountered. This place is cheap for a reason.

Hi Emma, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, early check-in is subject to availability and normally incurs a fee of $15.00. Check- in is normally 2.00PM, on this occasion our staff waived the early check-in fee for you and attempted to check you in early at 10.30 AM. We do apologize for the miscommunication in the room being ready. Our underground parking is a great feature to have as a hotel being in the central city, so we do understand the frustration of not being able to park. Unfortunately, the garage door being broken was a situation that was out of our control and we had to wait for repairs to be conducted. We hare glad you enjoyed your room and the pool and spa area, we hope to welcome you back in the future and turn your negative experience around. Kind Regards.
Decent Stay”
I don't recommend this to the young couples as its 20 min walk from the heart of the city. Rooms are clean and facilities are great; just the location is a bit of minus as we had to book an uber every time we step out of the hotel.

Great room for the price, very spacious. I didn’t check out the other facilities (pool,etc) so can’t comment. Bit of a walk to get to the city but was able to Uber for $8
