10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay at City Terraces! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful with making recommendations for our trip. The location is very close to grocery and restaurants, and about 15-20 to esplanade. The parking was very convenient and they even had bikes we borrowed to ride around town. The AC and kitchen were very appreciated and the laundry facilities were very nice. Its $4 (in $1 coins) to use the washer and dryer. They have a drying rack in the room if you don't want to use the dryer. We are definitely planning to stay again for our next trip to cairns!

Great accom !!

Loved our stay, friendly staff, clean and very comfy. Wished it was a little closer to the esplanade as it was about 1 km away, good 20-25 mins walk.

The room had a funny smell but we bought a freshener and it was fine. I love the fact they have proper washing powder and family size shampoo etc. There were a lot of convenient inclusions in the cupboards. Rooms are large and clean and very comfortable. Reception staff very helpful.

City terraces has a lot to offer and is a good value. Central location makes walking to beach, restaurants, and shopping easy. The manager is friendly and goes out of his way to be helpful. Upkeep and deep cleaning (bathroom tile, grout, and exhaust vents), could be improved. The lack of a firm smoking policy meant I couldn't always use my balcony due to smokers outside. Overall I would stay here again because it has so much to offer.

Highly recommend for a quieter area

Stayed for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The reception was friendly and quick. The room was very spacious and clean, with everything you need to eat in if you prefer. We had a room on the third floor, which was very quiet, with an outlook over the pool. The area is very limited for eating out options, but the main shopping area is only a block away for supplies. We would definitely recommend if it is a quieter area that you prefer and you have transport to drive to the main entertainment area. loved our saty and would stay again.

We had a great stay, the manager was outstanding and assisted when needed as well, the location was wonderful. All tour bookings could be done through the hotel which was seamless and the tours were great. A few areas of concern were the weekly cleaning was not great as the floors were still quite dirty and the bathroom toiletries were not restocked. As well there is no safe in the unit which can be a bit disconcerting.

Great staff--they do everything they can to insure a great stay. Loaned us umbrellas, beach stuff, a shopping cart--plus lots of ideas on what to do. It is far enough away from the waterfront to be quieter, but just down the street from a major mall and an easy walk to the waterfront or there is a busline a block away.It is NOT the "Ritz"--but had a great pool that was empty most of the time and felt much more personal than a chain hotel.

Lyn went out of her way to make sure that we had a wonderful stay in Cairns. We were up here to dive on the reef, and we were able to leave our extra bags at City Terraces while we were out on the reef for a few days. Our apartments were very comfortable, with ceiling fans and air conditioning. Our veranda overlooking the pool was a great place to sit and soak up the atmosphere. Free WIFI was appreciated as well. There isn't an elevator, but we had no difficulties with the stairs. Lyn was able to suggest activities to fill our spare days, and was happy to book them for us. We made great use of the complimentary bicycles, which made getting around Cairns easy. The ride up to the botanical gardens was easy, as Cairns is very flat. City Terraces is only a few blocks from the very centre of Cairns, so walking in to restaurants was easy. The main shopping centre is also only a couple of blocks away, so it is very conveniently located. If we come back to Cairns again this is where we will be staying!

Very well set up for families, amazing pool, quiet and clean rooms. Fantastic location close to Cairns Central and shops, restaurants, etc. Managers were very helpful. Love the fact that they also have an environmentally friendly policy to minimise waste. The ‘sharing cupboard’ was ace, and we took and shared multiple items during our week long stay.

All the team were v friendly and helpful. Took advantage of the free bikes to go to the botanic gardens. Really liked the share shelf where people could leave leftovers e.g. salt oil coffee etc. Nice sunny pool and BBQ area. Walkable to,lagoon, restaurants and station. Highly recommend.
