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.

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.

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.

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.

The owners were very friendly and helpfull. Our room was clean, big and had everything we needed. Loved the sharing cupboard were you could leave items that you didn't need anymore like food or toiletreies for other travelers to take. There are two big groceries within a 10 minutes walk in a big shopping centre. The Esplanade ( restaurants, the lagoon) is 15 to 20 minutes walk.

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.
