For business

That’s a terrible experience that you should avoid at any cost. The facility (not a hotel as you may think) looks like an abandoned building with more or less functioning amenities. No wifi, and rooms aren’t cleaned up upon request (holding the “cleanup tag” at the door knob). On the other hand, guests to the hotel seem to have a common attitude of screaming and shouting in the middle of the night - not sure why, hence wall isolation is extremely poor. Overall bad experience and I had to put my phone in rooming during my stay to access the internet (had to pay $20/day), which could be spent on a decent hotel nearby

Stayed with partner

Often stay at Hides because it is so central. I’ve been staying there for at least 30 years. It’s a bit jaded but ok. I do object to paying about $170 a night and only have the room serviced once in 4 days. No butter at breakfast the last day. But I am fond of the old thing and will continue to patronise her!

Solo stay

Located centrally in Cairns means walking everywhere is easy. Great hot shower, reasonably comfy bed, ceiling fan to reduce humidity and air con. Television didnt work, even after technician visit. Basic breakfast but seating on balcony was great start to another day in the tropics
