Mantra Esplanade Cairns

I am 2 or 3 hotels a month so when I say this is the best value hotel I mean it. Spacious room, great location, on site parking.

Rooms outdated and old. Even dirty in some areas. Very hard to self contain in a self contained apartment with the minimal utensils/plates/cutlery available. Very minimal parking available. No view as the balcony was made of concrete, could not see over the top of it. No couch to sit on, which in a two bedroom apartment I would expect. Very $$$ for what was offered. Location great however would not stay here again.

You can tell a lot about a hotel by whether they have real coathangers or antitheft coathangers… What I can say about the mantra Esplanade Cairns is that it is in a sensational location. The decor in the room was nice. The staff were really friendly and helpful, in my minimal interaction with them. The great location means you do get a bit of noise into the room in the evening of the local buskers and tourist crowd. Some things that I wish were a little bit better; more easily accessible power points near the desk, a full, shower enclosure, proper coathangers, and a little more noise proofing in the room. The room I had was on the sixth floor, and a fair walk from the lift. However, it did have pretty cool views out to the ocean and around the city. The bed and pillows were comfy, as was the couch. Other amenities in the room are fairly modest. I did like the convenience of the car park and can see myself staying here again.

I stayed in a hotel room here for a week, a bit disappointed with the services or lack of considering the money I paid! ex: no guest laundry, only laundries in the apartments, no pen and paper when i asked (whole hotel had none left) because the notepad in the room had 1 page on arrival. Lobby smells really bad of mould and dampness room was tidy and clean just the linen ect could do with an update. No airport transfers offered, spa is cold even in winter and pool is freezing. I think you pay More for the location than anything else.

Stayed here for my birthday and it was fantastic. I knew my flight was going to get me there too early for check-in but was going to see if they could hold my bags until ready. But the lovely lady at reception was fabulous and actually checked in with housekeeping to see if the room was ready to go and it was. The service that was received throughout my stay was excellent. Could not fault it one bit.
