    Great central location, friendly staff, clean room

    As we were on a shared business trip our room was very small to fit 2 single beds into and there was a small 1m wide outdoor area off the sliding door, felt very claustrophobic, the room was very basic and I would have booked 2 rooms instead if I had known. Also the corridor on the ground floor so very noisy as when doors slammed or people were talking it echoed, like they were inside our room.

    Location was excellent few streets from Esplanade walking distance to cafes restaurants, parking onsite or on the street directly out front of hotel Pool was relaxing and calming to sit by at the end of a long day Bed and pillows were comfy, shower was hot! Breakfast was included but we opted to eat out at the esplanade cafe for the amazing view, so can't comment on quality or what was offered.

    The pool did not have a railing for entering and exiting when you have mobility concerns.

    Loved the location was within walking distance to The Esplanade and main shopping centre. The staff were very helpful in booking tours for us.

    It wasn’t a problem to us, but just be aware that there is no lift at this property.

    The staff were very friendly and welcoming and our room ( and bed) was very comfortable. We particularly liked the pool area and appreciated that we could use this and the lounge area after our checkout until we departed later in the day.

    We arrived on a weekend. We signed up for the "Green Stay" program. The reception check-in staff were nice, but we found out when the weekday staff were on duty, a few things could have been better explained to us.

    The location was the key. We were blocks from the "esplanade" and beach. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go- down to the ferry/boat docks, shops, restaurants. We had been on a tour and wanted to spend some extra time in Cairns. The Coral Tree Inn's price was more reasonable than the tour hotel, plus the location was better.

    We just need an overnight stay before heading to Fitzroy Island. The Coral Tree met this requirement and happily kept some of our luggage till we returned.

    The bathroom facilities were a bit old.

    Staff was really nice. The green stay program (which allows you to exchange room cleaning for breakfast coupons) is superb! A really nice experience for this price.

    The stay at this property was excellent. The room was very spacious and linen etc were very clean. There are lot many restaurants in the vicinity, where you can have Indian food. This place is good from shopping point of view also.

    The "good breakfast" was kinda lacking... Coffee was poor-average, no bacon or fried eggs. There was a toaster of sorts, but you couldn't make a toasted sandwich, so if you put cheese on it, it would go cold. Worst of all, no sneeze guards covering all, we saw people coughing over dinner of the food. Juice was good. Mini croissants were good. The bed wasn't comfy, and the lack of a dining table had us eating on the bed.

    Friendly staff, well priced hotel

    WiFi was poor: unstable and slow - with pretty random speed from 0.1 to 10 Mbps.

    Very friendly staff and nice rooms for an absolutely great price for that value. Close to the city centre, but in a calm area.

    Does not have a lift. Only 2 floors but if you have heavy luggage, be prepared.

    Very friendly staff, at a very convenient location. Clean and everything worked. Didn’t have breakfast myself but it was very busy and most guests did, so seemed very good and excellent value.
