Breath of fresh air for the soul

699ash Business - 14/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

I was fortunate enough to have the room overlooking the mariner and inlet. Breakky on the balcony was like what you see in the tourist ads. The facilities were very good. The hotel is unusually arranged in its entirety which is quite interesting to those of us used to a formulated experience. It is well located to everything including the boardwalk (restaurants) and pier. It was possibly the best hotel I've ever stayed in and I travel a fair bit.

Dear 699ash, Thank you so much for your lovely review, I am delighted you enjoyed your visit and found it to be a breath of fresh air for the sole. I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Sincerely, Odette Laska General Manager

I have stayed at Cairns Harbour Lifhts a number of times over the last 10 years. The room we were in was very tired and needs a refurb. Leaky tap in the bathroom. Carpet old and musty. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll stay again.

Functional

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Phillip S. Business - 08/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is minimalist and, consequently, lacks warmth and personality as a physical environment. In fairness, the gentleman at reception when checking in was polite and adequate in his interpersonal skills, whereas the young lady at check out the next morning was warm and friendly and left me with a very favourable impression. From a utilitarian point of view, the facilities in the room were excellent, with the exception of a comfortable lounge chair to sit in. The bed was excellent.

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Kp Business - 08/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Quiet location. Fitness room was adequate. Having tiles on the floor and air conditioning in humid weather creates slippery surface. Would be useful for some information to be provided to people about this. I knew this would be an issue so put down mats so I wouldn't slip during the night if moving around in the dark, but could be a safety issue for older people or young children.

Dear KP, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the The Sebel Cairns Harbour Lights. I appreciate your feedback regarding the floor and will look into this with the team.

Once again Cairns Harbour Lights has not failed to meet all my needs for business and comfort. A shout out to the Reception Desk staff - always friendly and smiling. Happy to accommodate. Carparking is available - sometimes a bit difficult due to not many spaces, however if always booked ahead with your booking, staff ensure one is available to you. Easy access from the Airport, CBD and all major arterials, while still being a peaceful place to stay. Restaurants downstairs on the water are beautiful, and a great place to meet up with work colleagues and friends. Thanks again.
