Top Bulmba-ja Arts Centre Hotel Reviews

Crystalbrook Bailey

10/10 Excellent

"A+"

Crystalbrook Flynn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location. The room was well equipped and comfortable and all of the staff were friendly"

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well equipped and the location was great (right by the beach and close to the city centre but a bit quieter and close to the airport). The staff were extremely helpful from checking my in to planning excursions, to ordering taxis, and check out. Being able to access the commercial gym nearby was a nice touch to have access to a fully equipped gym. The same day laundry service was helpful as well. The pool was great to enjoy out in the sun. The room was clean overall but some of the amenities (ex. Shower curtain) had some wear and tear from seemingly having been used for a while. Overall everything worked well though and we really enjoyed our stay! Would book again!"

Crystalbrook Riley

"Overall it’s fine"

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Loved our room ✔️"

The Oceanfront Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely - it has a 24/7 reception team. Our room had an updated modern bathroom but the remaining part of the room was still very dated and unrefurbished. However it was clean and the bed was comfortable.One of the elevators was down at the time of our stay, but the other was working. It is a great location, beach was right out the front and you can walk to cainrs city along the waterfront in under 20mins."

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and very convenient. Pool was a bit dirty but everything else was good"

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend The Abbott - it was far superior to what I'd expected. The rooms were large and clean, and quiet. Air Con worked well. There was a common area with a free coffee machine and biscuits, a great asset for early mornings before heading out on day trips. There was also a free washing machine and dryer. The front staff were super friendly and always willing to help out. I would 100% stay again."
