Top Cairns North Hotel Reviews

Tropic Towers Apartments

8/10 Good

"Room very clean, nice view and fairly quiet being on a main road. Location great."

Bohemia Resort Cairns

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and accommodated our group well. The stove, TV, and fridge were all working properly. Having two toilets and a bathroom was also very convenient and useful for the number of guests in our group. Secure parking within the property was another positive, although there were not enough parking spaces available. Unfortunately, the unit felt quite outdated and appeared to need better maintenance. The beds were uncomfortable and seemed to be sinking, and the shower head could not be adjusted or moved. One particularly disappointing experience was when we asked for milk and coffee at around 7:00 am. We were told by the staff that no service was available until 8:00 am. Overall, while the unit was spacious and had some useful amenities, the outdated condition, lack of maintenance, uncomfortable beds, limited parking, and poor early-morning service made our stay disappointing."
