Central Plaza Apartments

“Stayed here for work, 30 secs from the hospital”

I was in a fully self contained unit, with a nice kitchen and laundry, I rate it 9/10 only because I thought the floors could have been a bit cleaner .

I was in a fully self contained unit, with a nice kitchen and laundry, I rate it 9/10 only because I thought the floors could have been a bit cleaner . The bed was comfortable, there was 2 single's in the bedroom .. The bathroom was perfect. everything was really good, the linen seemed to be immaculate, and the aircon in the bedroom was quiet.. There's a pool, that looked great but I did not use it. The manager Warren, was a true gentleman, nothing was too difficult for him, he even carried my bags upstairs. I stayed 2 nights.. its a 15 minute walk to Cairns Central shops / train station or Woolworths... probably worth 9.5 out of 10 ... Thanks Warren!...

“Great apartments, large & spacious!”

A lot of the apartments are now being upgraded, and it makes a huge difference. New furniture, curtains, large flat screen TV's, all in a good location. There's free parking underground, and you can cook your own meals.

First impressions were not good! Roadworks at entrance, thirty stairs to apartment (no lift), new management had begun five days before! Assistance given to carry luggage upstairs for which we were grateful. However, balcony overlooked road with constant traffic and construction noise, so was unusable at busy periods during the day. Brand new dishwasher installed, however only crockery, cutlery etc for two so not enough to warrant its use. Two saucepans, two pots (of doubtful heritage), quite insufficient for self catering. New washing machine and dryer, but no detergent supplied. When requested dishwasher powder was brought up. Not our value for money expectation. On arrival we were shown around the apartment by management who found curtains without hooks fitted and several lights not functioning. Although promised, these were never attended to during our twelve day stay. Bed linen and bathroom towels were changed once in that time. Pool towels were $5 each if needed for our stay. Apartment was clean and tidy on arrival but in need of major refurbishment. Barbecue was very dirty when we needed to use it, but after reporting that it was cleaned. Undercover parking was a plus, as were air conditioning and fans. It is hoped the new management will work towards upgrading this establishment as its proximity to the Cairns Hospital would be to their benefit for business.
