Location is the best close to lagoon for an early morning swim, great coffee shops, restaurants all in walking distance. I did not like my room as paid premium price but room was so small & ordinary in need of renos and soulless. Good bit that early in the morning you got a great view of the Esplanade & Lagoon but became to hot in the afternoon to sit on the balcony.

I don't think I could be paid to stay here again. The room and bathroom were the most dated awful room I have ever seen. The wifi did not work at all for our entire stay. When I asked Reception Staff about why the wifi wasn't working, she shrugged her shoulders and said there was nothing she could do. There are very limited gym facilities (no weights) and the one treadmill was out of order. There are basically no facilities at all - no room service, no breakfast, no housekeeping. Limited free parking nearby but none available while we were there so we drove around for 30 mins to find somewhere to park. I have stayed at many places in Cairns City and in my opinion and experience, this was by far the worst.

Was a good place to stay, the rooms were older but perfectly maintained, and very quiet despite the busy neighbourhood. The front desk staff were friendly and gave a good recommendation for a pizza place nearby. My only complaint would be having to ask to borrow the luggage trolley and move my 5 bags of luggage upstairs on my own. I was travelling for work and had equipment with me. I was struggling with this and there were two people at the front desk, it would have been nice if someone offered to help.

Unique? I wouldn’t call anything about this property professional let alone neat. I made a booking on here, only to arrive and have someone already checked into my room. They desk lady called the room and asked for whom ever to come down to reception only for the person who came down to have changed his name twice. Nothing was right about the whole situation. I did not want the room following, I wanted my money back. Yet to receive a refund from both Wotif or Mantra Esplanade Cairns.

Extremely disappointed the pool was not heated so we were unable to swim. Very unhappy it cost extra to have your room serviced. Nobody wants to walk through the hotel with a roll of toilet paper! Also expected to pay extra for wifi. Great location and staff were lovely

The property is in a great location with most things within walking distance. Room was spacious and clean. One annoyance is when checking in for a 5 night stay there was one roll of toilet paper and the room doesn’t have regular house keeping, they are happy to supply amenities at request but it is an inconvenience to have to keep asking for toilet paper. The mantra should consider a supply of one roll per night and providing fresh towels every 3rd day. Overall was happy with the accommodation
