Wade

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Clean, modern room. Fairly comfortable bed. A little cramped in the bedroom part, but the bathroom was spacious. Good shower with consistent water pressure & temperature. Good quality soaps & conditioner provided in full-size bottles. No view to speak of in room 111 - just the road, the top of an awning, and some miscellaneous buildings. The liighting system was a bit too fancy for its own good - lots of "scene" buttons rather than simple on/off switches, which is passable but those buttons are backlit with LEDs which you can't turn off, so the room has annoying blue LED light throughout, at night. Particularly good breakfast buffet, with a lot of options, including: typical cooked items (bacon, sausages, potato gems, eggs in a couple of styles varying daily), a variety of cereals (including Weetbix), various sweet pastries, yoghurt, croissants, various sliced bread and condiments (including Vegemite), etc. Never too crowded during our stay in Christmas holidays. Decent location - not on the shorefront, but only one block back, and an easy walk to all the Cairns 'downtown' attractions. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Very clean and spacious rooms. Our suite included a number of small appliances, like a toaster and iron, and included laundry detergent, which we found very useful. They even left a couple of small cartons of milk in the fridge for us. The pool and happy hour was great as well!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay at the property was disappointing overall. While the staff were attentive and the bed was comfortable, the experience did not meet expectations. We were allocated an accessible room with a fully accessible bathroom which resembled a hospital or nursing home bathroom, which did not align with the room type we had booked. Upon contacting reception, we were informed that no alternative rooms were available and were offered complimentary breakfast as compensation. Although the gesture was appreciated, the core issue of receiving an incorrect room remained unresolved. Additionally, the breakfast provided was of notably poor quality. Given the cost of the stay and the reputation of Crystal Brook Hotels, the experience fell well below expectations, and we would be unlikely to consider staying at this or any other Crystal Brook property in the future

The hotel was beautiful and very clean. The staff were corteous, helpful and friendly. My room was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed for the perfect stay! The hotel and room looked better than the photos and far exceeded my expectations. If I am ever lucky enough to visit Australia again I will definitely be back.

The room was very nice, super comfy bed! Staff were also really friendly and helpful. Was my favourite place I stayed during my trip to Australia. Only downside was because the pool is on the 3rd floor, it is fully shaded by the building from about 2pm. It’s also very small.
