    “Mantra Esplanade ”

    The geographical location to the centre of everything Cairns City has to offer, the polite and helpful reception staff, clean and well appointed room with a very comfortable bed has inspired the highest rating I could give.

    “The location is excellent!”

    I headed there on the day, wondering what it would be like after reading various reviews beforehand. First, it was mentioned that Wi-Fi was paid, but I was able to use it for free. I'm not sure if this was a benefit of the plan or a mistake in the description. Was the air conditioning in the room moldy? One room had an unpleasant smell, but it wasn't too bothersome as long as I ventilated every morning and evening. During ventilation, I could just relax in the living room. The bathroom was spacious and comfortable to use, and the hairdryer had good power. There were shampoo and conditioner available, but I brought my own from Japan since I'm not good with overseas products. I was able to use the washing machine and dryer without any problems, but the noise was a bit concerning. However, if I washed my clothes in the morning and put them in the dryer before heading out, it was no issue! The kitchen had an IH stove, and there was also an electric kettle. It was comfortable for boiling the barley tea I brought from Japan and enjoying instant miso soup. There was a microwave to heat up the packaged rice as well. There were dishes available, but I brought paper plates, cups, and chopsticks from Japan because I didn’t want to deal with washing dishes while traveling. I also brought garbage bags for organic waste (from a 100 yen store), so I separated organic waste and cans and bottles for disposal! There’s a waste disposal area on the second floor, so I took the trash there when it piled up. I thought having a balcony in each room was nice too! Overall, there were some negative aspects, but the great location outweighed everything! I would love to stay here again next time.

    “In any case, the location is good.”

    I stayed with my elementary school son. We played at the lagoon and Green Island, and since we wanted to sweat and reduce our luggage, we chose this hotel for its condominium style that allows laundry, and it's close to the reef terminal, lagoon, and Woolworths, making its location wonderful. We arrived early in the morning from Japan, but the front desk is open 24 hours, so they conveniently held our luggage. Although we didn't use the kitchen this time, it was equipped with glasses, a refrigerator, a kettle, and cutlery. There was also a table and chairs on the balcony, so we enjoyed eating takeout on the balcony. During my stay, there wasn't anyone at the front desk who could speak Japanese, but everyone was friendly and kind.

    “Very pleasant ”

    We stayed for 5 nights and it was very pleasant and relaxing despite the scorching weather in January. Lovely staffs, good sized clean room with kitchen and laundry facilities, value for money and icing on the cake is the location. We will definitely stay there for our next visit , actually wouldn't wven think of staying anywhere else next year holidays that we have planned. Highly recommended especially for families.
