Helpful staff, basic but adequate room for an overnight stay.
Lovely pool, but experience spoilt by loud, drinking, smoking guests who were 'camped' by the pool.

Room was clean and serviceable. It is value for money. Fridge was not replenished during my 4 day stay so coffee and milk ran out day 1. I probably only had to ask for more though. It was a budget stay and i would do it again.

For the price, this property comes highly recommended. We paid just a standard room, and it was one floor up (stairs only) and had obviously a bed, en suite, tv, air con, ceiling fan, bar fridge, microwave and tea/coffee. We don't smoke but if you are a smoker, you have to go right to the front of the property for the designated area. Beautiful pool and quite large. Easy walk to Cairns Central and CPAC. Parking limited but plenty free on the street. We would definitely return.

The accommodation was basic but it was what I was looking for and the price was very good. Close to the city centre, on the main highway and great staff, the primary thing I like was how quiet the place was. I'd stay at the Hotel Tropiq again.

Saw the cheap price - could have been a special deal, or could have been 'you get what you pay for'. Unfortunately it was #2. None of the photos showed me what I was getting - maybe they have nicer rooms. Hotel is very old and tired. Hardly any parking. Beds were uncomfortable and well past it. A/C on max was struggling to keep room just barable. On the plus side, the room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is priced correctly - just the photos are misleading.

Staff super nice. Room was clean and as well as could be expected for the price. The door felt a bit flimsy. The noise and banging either in the complex or nearby was terrible. Went on for ages
