Pros: Hostel was the best hostel where I have been. Location was Great, Wi-Fi worked well and place was really clean. Only thing I didn’t like was hostels travel agency - It’s selling for everybody the same trips and don’t listen what you need. Not Professional travel agency, I would recommend to use some other place.

Cons: Bathrooms could have been cleaner, they had an unpleasant public-bathroom-smell to them. Please put some basics like salt, pepper and maybe even a little oil into the kitchen - but this seems to be generally lacking throughout Australian hostels. Nights from Sunday to Wednesday were quiet, but then it started to get noisier towards the weekend.

Not Professional travel agency, I would recommend to use some other place.
Cons: I didn’t like the hostels travel agency. Travel agency is selling the same trips for everybody and don’t listen what you need. I said I’m interested of Rainforests and I did get a trip where we swim the hole day and teenagers were just partying the hole trip. The second trip: I said that I want to snorkl. They said that I should do the scuba dive trial. I asked that do I need to do those safty things before, because I know that I’m not able to do those. They said no. I asked is it safe then? The guy said that nothing ever have happened. He was lying to my face just that he could sell me that trial. On the boat they said that That’s stupid if they say something like that because ofcourse everybody needs to do those safety things. And about that - nothing ever happened: half of the people are not able to do that trial and are waisting their money like I did. Not Professional at all. I would recommend to use some other travel agency or book online.

Pros: We wanted to be able to relax and unwind at our first destination in Australia, this was definitely the place, the pool was very relaxing and the sunrise on the marina side was breathtaking.

They also upgraded our room to a higher level so we had a better view of the bay. The location is with in walking distance to everything, including the ferries at the marina. All in all one of the best parts of our stay was the staff, they were all so welcoming, accommodating and extremely pleasant (esp Kelly and Luke!). I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Comfortable big room. Good breakfast. Helpful staff
Cons: The poolside facilities were a bit hit & miss. Often too few beds & people dragging chairs & tables about to make do. Pool bar shut early evening and toilet area a mess. A bit more attention to detail & keeping tidy thru the day would improve. And if it's 'no glass' poolside then you should enforce that

Pros: Great atmosphere, great location with a big room & excellent view of the marina. Excellent facilities - pool, bars, restaurants etc so did not need to leave hotel so very relaxing. Staff very friendly.

Pros: Amazing location walking distance from the harbor with many shops and restaurants within the same complex. Luxurious and modern rooms without feeling pretentious.
Cons: Breakfast service was $20 and most of the buffet choices were unappetizing; the omelettes and French toast prepared on request by the chef were pretty good but overall there are likely better options around Cairns. The pool was really nice but closed unusually at 8pm.

Pros: Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Great hostel to get to know new people. You have everything there including party, games, a nice pool and cheap dinner deals. Food is good. Also a free continental breakfast is provided.
Cons: The air conditioner in the rooms is really strong and really cold and the reception was unable to turn in down or off. At night it's loud cause there is party all the time but well it's a party hostel. The kitchen on floor one and two were closed due to construction works, so you couldn't use it. The hallway of the stairway has a bad smell.
4.2 Okay
Pros: Location is great, close to the Esplanade waterfront & lagoon, and any number of restaurants. Plenty of entertainment all within walking distance.
Cons: This is a club & party hostel. If you want one place to sit around, get drunk and club all night, stay here. If you think you're going to meet anyone, go elsewhere or get a good night's sleep... move on. Club is below all the rooms and runs all night. And everyone who stays here just wants to be in the club, so people stumble in & out of the rooms at all hours, yelling & screaming in the hallways, and if they do manage to get in the room with their key, they will vomit, scream & leave. Would never stay here again.

Cons: Room was boiling hot at night, they told us AC was on full as all AC is ducted and controlled by front desk. We went into another room to compare and it was so much colder. Turns out AC was broken. They did let us change rooms which was good.

6.3 Good
Pros: The parts that are renovated are nice and the pool area is lovely.
Cons: For $300 per night for a “deluxe suite” I would expect luxury and above average. This was far from it. Basically a 1 bedroom apartment with a tiny and under resourced kitchen. Nothing special, not even any hooks for hand towels.
4.0 Okay
Pros: Pool was absolutely fab spent at least 6 hours per day.
Cons: Rooms were bit small and there were no outside chairs on balcony and room were very close together..Also rooms across the hall were given to young schoolies who were intent on yelling/screaming etc. and constantly banging doors at all hours.

Mantra Trilogy on the Cairns Esplanade overlooks all of the great attractions and activity of the waterfront. Positioned right in the CBD amongst restaurants, the Reef Casino, Mall and the lagoon, you'll enjoy stunning views from your Hotel Room or Apartment. Chill out on the pool deck overlooking the ocean, cook up a barbeque on the resort lawns, or have an invigorating workout in the gymnasium. Mantra Trilogy is also in walking distance to Villa Romana for fabulous Italian food.

Pros: The location and the breakfast were great. What I wanted was a banquet breakfast but the extra variety of the Continental Breakfast was good, wholesome and more than adequate.
Cons: The rough unpainted empty space when looking out the one small window. But for me it added a bit of nostalgia. At 75 years of age, I recall the empty space, ground to roof line in the first building I worked in in Sydney. The electric light was not very strong then and many of the old buildings of the era had a space such as this, called a "Light Well" in the middle of the building. The desk workers often had their desk against the window for better light. So the little bit of history added to my stay and I was able to tell my grandchildren who visited me in the hotel about the history of the "Light Well". So for me, the negative became a positive. Maybe the management of the hotel could put up a small notice in the rooms facing the "light well", telling the history of the unusual outlook from the window. That would compensate for the rough look outside the window in the rooms that had this outlook.

Cons: CONS:
- Quite noisey due to the location being right in the heart of the city. We used earplugs which helped us to sleep.
- I'm not a huge fan of the king size bed being two singles pushed together, although I know this is what a lot of hotels do.
- It's nothing fancy - our windows were just shutters with lots of bird poop outside!
- Wifi is not free, but I think there's free wifi outside on the streets.

8.0 Excellent
Pros: Room with a balcony allowing fresh air in.
Cons: Did not feel the room we were given fitted the description on booking.com. We queried it and were upgraded to a tower room which was very pleasant. The restaurant did not appear to have knowledge of gluten free - my husband is a coeliac so could not risk using our included breakfast. The manager gave us a bottle of wine to compensate. No individual aircon - whole building aircon very noisy.

4.6 Okay
Pros: The only good thing I can say is the location is good and handy for everything in the resort. Will come back to Cairns but would not stay in this hotel again
Cons: Bathroom dirty, cracked tiles and bath. Very tired needs upgrading. Fridge was rusty. Breakfast was the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel, cold beans, bacon didn’t smell good. Forget the coffee my husband said it was really cheap bad coffee.
5.0 Okay
Pros: This was a great hotel 10 years ago - easily the best place in Cairns.
Cons: The place has been under new management for a few years and while the room was fine, the breakfast area is now shabby, with grubby table coverings, strange cutlery, and the dining room in need of a refit. No-one came to ask if I'd like freshly brewed coffee or really took any interest in the guests.
7.1 Good
Pros: Great location
Cons: Bathroom was tiny. Very old, needs a freshen up.
7.3 Good
Pros: Just a few blocks from the action. Nice breakfast. Nice to have laundry facilities.
Cons: No gym to speak of. Inconsistent amenities between the three rooms I saw.
