DFO Cairns

The Reef Hotel is a three level building WITHOUT elevators so you have to carry your own luggage up the three flights of stairs. The WiFi connection in the room did not work. The staff said they could not fix it for the two days I stayed there. Inside the room there were small ants around the bathroom sink. The room was not cleaned and bed not made for the second day of my stay. The hotel staff was not helpful on any of my concerns.

It's a good place for very short term stay (eg overnight). The place is a little dated and some things were not built / designed well. But it does the job. e.g. the sink doesn't have the best drainage and the shower doesn't have exhaust. The bathroom wooden panels are all soaking in moisture. The place seem obsessed warning people about smoking - which is good for non-smokers. I'd recommend staying here one (or max two) nights. It is also a few blocks away from where all activities are in the city centre.

we had a nice stay at the ocean front hotel, we had some difficulties which has been resolved very quickly and kindly. stuff was very nice and helpful. location is perfect in front of the beach. the hotel is under the new management and they have done some renovation in some rooms which is very nice and modern and some rooms still old. we would like to thank all of the stuff especially the reception.
