Hotéis 2-Star em Queensland, Australia

This was my first time staying here. Our room was directly above the terrace, so we could hear the lively chatter, which actually added to the travel experience in a fun way. I was a bit worried the noise might keep me from sleeping, but every night around 10 PM, it quieted down, and I was able to rest peacefully. I highly recommend buying groceries from the nearby supermarket and enjoying a meal on the terrace. Also, you can walk to the seaside promenade in about 10 minutes. It’s a safe location for a solo early morning stroll.

Actually Myself and my colleague booked two family cabins for three nights. That is for work and we were the only guests. As per advertised on trip.com we paid for including buffet breakfast. Following day morning when we went for the restaurant we were told they have not been provided our names and we need to pay for breakfast.. So I had to bring my booking print out and show the restaurant staff breakfast was included. Even though they let us eat there they were not convinced and were suspicious I guess. So that day my colleague went to see the manager of the accommodation and he said to me she was not convinced about breakfast was included. My colleague said it was very unpleasant and embarrassing. She told him I need to come down too. But later when I went to see her she said everything is sorted out and problem was they didn't know anything about Trip.com and trip.com send the booking through ******* and wrongly mentioned each of our booking included three adults and the extra payment is for additional adults as they understood. So the third day morning we didn't have issue at the breakfast as our names passed on. But unfortunately last day morning restaurant staff asked us to pay for breakfast because our name was not on the list. Luckily the chef remembered us and he was very politely let us eat. Even though we paid for breakfast we were at mercy of good people. Whole experience was very inconvenient and embarrassing. I think main bungle was done by Trip.com. But management did not bother to completely sort it out. This was my first time with Trip.com and Aaok Moondarra Accommodation Village. My colleague said he did not have issues previously with Trip.com but all those occasions were without breakfast. Other than that accommodation was really good. It had got good Wi-Fi, YouTube and Netflix. My advise is if you book through Trip.com for an accommodation with breakfast make sure with the accommodation that it has been correctly passed on to them.

Okay here’s my review. The Espy has so much going for it in terms of being central to the entertainment precinct of Cairns Esplanade.  Check in was easy and friendly and the two bunk dorm had its own dedicated ensuite bathroom which was very clean and quite large. The bedroom was clean and the bunks were enclosed wood and steel construction with zero squeaking. Clean towel and linen provided. So that’s all the very good stuff. The not as good things I observed were: - the lounge/common areas were dimly lit, very tired (bordering on festy) furniture and not somewhere I’d socialise due to limited seating, very few power/USB outlets or clean comfortable seating. - The pool…. Or should I call it the tropical punch bowl of various biological matter and other detritus… if you’re keen of growing something fungal on your body, go in…. I decided not to. -Kitchen and meal prep area all seemed clean and safe to get your mung bean and tofu ready for consumption.  - The personal under bunk locker was missing its latch and with two roommates I had to say a little prayer that my gear would be safe inside my enclosed bunk. Overall this was my maiden voyage as a backpacker and at 57 years of age, I’ve stayed in a lot of Hotels and Motels costing far more for way less cleanliness. I rate this place highly for all the good reasons above.  The not so good stuff is easily fixed by management but for $65 per night in peak season, I don’t think you can get any better value in Central Cairns right near the action. Pubs, cafes, night market and the City Lagoon. Thanks Espy crew, you made this old dog’s stay a pleasant one and will be back if and when the opportunity presents itself.

Highly recommended for the price! I stayed one night to get to the airport in the morning, and it was perfect for that. The room had everything you needed, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The good thing about the bathrooms was that they were individual. The room was equipped with a fridge and a microwave. There was also a kitchen, which unfortunately wasn't very well-equipped, but it was sufficient for my needs. The man at the front desk was very relaxed and nice. The deposit was returned a few hours after check-out. The only real downside was that you could hear everything. The walls were very thin, and you could hear everything from above as well. The street was also very noisy. However, it barely bothered me personally. I would definitely come back for a short stay.

The staff are so nice, and there's a room where you can store luggage. The kitchen even has an air fryer, but many of the electric kettles were broken. The fridge was super full, and there were always lots of people coming and going in the kitchen, cooking. I didn't even want to cook myself after seeing that. I recommend going down to the kitchen to cook between 5 and 7 PM; that's when it's least busy and cleanest. The room was super dark, and my roommates were long-term guests who were often resting in the room, so I was really worried about disturbing them, but they were all very nice. Australians might not be afraid of the cold; the 'duvet' was just a blanket, so remember to bring thicker pajamas in winter. After 10 PM, I could still hear singing and loud laughter from outside the room, so definitely bring earplugs! If you're looking for something cheap, this place isn't bad, and it's super close to the light rail station.

Upon check-in, one person will give you a tour of the accommodation. The futon is soft and warm, and there are two types of pillows provided: one firm and one soft.

When booking, I was a little skeptical because the price was cheap, but I didn't expect it to be really good. It is worth mentioning that the front desk is not 24 hours, but they are very attentive to prepare Self-checkin for visitors who check in at midnight, and send emails to guide how to operate. Staying for two days can be considered very comfortable. The location is excellent, and it is close to the sea in the center of the city. You can walk along the beach at night. It is a great place to travel alone.

The accessibility to the city was great, so I walked everywhere without needing public transportation. If you're coming directly from the airport, Rome Termini Station seems to be the most convenient. It's a bit of an uphill walk from Termini, so brace yourself! But it's downhill when you're leaving with your luggage, which is nice. ^_^ All the surrounding places are backpacker hostels, but I think this one offers the best value for money.

The hostel has just opened for a month. The environment is clean and sanitary. The owner and his family live on the first floor. They are very nice. The kitchen is clean and spacious. The 10 ppl female dorm is very clean. The shower room, toilet, and sink all have separate doors. It is not so crowded to wash in the morning. The room is very spacious and the overall is very good. Surfboards can be rented for 10$/day. The hostel is also close to the beach. The supermarket is also close.

I had a great stay at this motel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well‑maintained, with everything I needed for a few nights away. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and check‑in was quick and easy. The location was convenient, making it simple to get to work and explore the area. Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle‑free experience. I would happily stay here again.
