ostello a Cairns North

La posizione dell'hotel è nella media. Ci vogliono circa 15 minuti a piedi dal ristorante e dal centro. Il servizio al bancone non è molto buono, con occhi inespressivi, e non ti dirà i dettagli al momento del check-in. L'aria condizionata nella stanza degli ospiti non può essere regolata, può solo essere accesa/spenta. Quando il condizionatore d'aria è acceso, sembrerà molto freddo, e quando è spento, sarà un po' soffocante e c'è solo una coperta sottile. Il bagno della camera degli ospiti è molto fatiscente. Altri stanno bene. Non consiglio di soggiornare in questo hotel.

When I got there the room smelt of mould. I was told that was the smell of the cleaning products, but I am not stupid so I insisted they change the room. They did, but it was infested with ants. They were in the sink area, on the counter, in the bathroom, and around the toilet bowl. They even got into the wardrobe. I spoke to reception about it and all I got was a ”there is nothing we can do for you”. They sent someone after 2 days (as I had to wait since it was Sunday as if I hadn't paid for the weekend!) and he also said there was nothing he could do. I complained to booking.com and they told them they had upgraded me - BIG FAT LIE. Very quick to send me messages to leave reviews (here you have it!) but not to resolve issues. There was also an electrical fault that destroyed two expensive universal adapters. The hotel did nothing to compensate for this. Again ”there is nothing we can do for you” is what I got. I lost a day's pay as I could not work without a power supply, had to purchase new adapters the following day, and all they could say is ”there is nothing we can do for you”. What kind of hotel doesn't have adapters? The AC unit was exposed, the door was tricky to lock/unlock (the receptionist had to show me how to lock the door), and there is no one available at night in case something goes wrong. Lastly, the listing says daily cleaning but this is not true. You are only allowed to ask for it once in the middle of your stay and you need to request this. I did and she barely cleaned anything, just a quick vacuum and change of sheets and some towels (not all). My sincere advice as a world traveller: STAY AWAY FROM HOTEL TROPIQ. Their customer service is ZERO. Quick to take credit card details but then refuse to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong within the service. You just have to accept a ”there is nothing we can do for you”. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at and I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy!

The photos provided by the operators are extremely deceptive. The accomodation is old and run down. The shower tiles were painted at some stage, and it is now peeling off both the floor and the walls. The “updated” vanity basin and tap are poorly sizes and you are unable to fully wash your face due to the shape and size of the basin with a shorter necked faucet . There is no complete enclosure for water in the shower resulting in you flooding the bathroom each time you shower- we ended up using the common showers in the passageway to attempt keep our room dry. The toilet paper is only single ply so bring your own if you decide to stay here !! Our towels and sheets had stains on them and the pillows are flat and lumpy. I wouldn’t swim in the pool unless you’ve had your latest tetanus shots. We were followed back to the accommodation by a slightly hostile homeless person one night which was slightly unnerving for our teenage daughters. The nicest part of this accommodation is the outdoor BBQ area. The breakfast provided smelt ok, but we decided to eat at the cafe at the marina each day as we were heading out to the reef and islands anyways. We decided to stay here and save money as generally we are out during the day and only need a comfortable bed and a clean shower- next time we will be going back to our regular accommodation closer to the Esplanade.

Abbiamo prenotato il villaggio di Bay per la buona posizione. Non ci sono resi conto di quanto fosse conveniente. Possiamo camminare a Kmart e anche al terminale di crociera per la crociera dei nostri skylovers. Per il tour di skyrail di Kuranda, hanno offerto di prendere al villaggio di baia, così è stato uno dei nostri considerazioni durante la prenotazione.

Stayed here for 2 nights over easter. Chose a King room and on arrival were upgraded to a King Suite on Level 5. View across to Cairns and up to the mountains was very relaxing and with a largish lounge area separate to the King bedroom there is plenty of room to relax if it is an extended stay. For those who like the exercise its not s huge walk into the city especially if you go a few blocks to the foreshore parklands and wander along that way. Busses (quite a few) run along Sheridan Street as an alternate and a taxi ride is only a few $. Airport is also a short taxi trip and the hotel will have one outside within minutes as they did for us a couple of times. Hotel staff are very helpful and the restaurant serve very good meals. We ate there 3 times for evening meals. Next door is Dunwoody's Hotel which offers a great alternate for an evening meal or a nights entertainment (once their renovations are complete).

Motel piacevole con bel touch extra. Camere confortevoli con fogli di cotone e getti se necessario. Aria condizionata efficiente e spazio in appartamento. Kitchenette è stata molto utile e ci sono eccellenti take-off vicino. Il parcheggio può essere stretto, ma non abbiamo avuto una macchina, quindi non è un problema per noi. La cucina era stata riparata più recentemente di quella che sembrava un po’ stanca, ma con acqua calda e pressione era buona. Siamo arrivati presto dall'aeroporto e hanno immagazzinato i bagagli fino a controllare in tempo.

Hotel buono ma arrivato negli anni, circa 20 minuti a piedi da corsa fino al porto. Super comodo e largo letto, molto buon colazione. Eravamo soddisfatti intorno. A causa dell'umidità elevata, non si possono asciugare i bagni sul balcone, anche i vestiti nella valigia hanno un po' di umidità - ma l'hotel non può farlo.
