We had a perfect stay at Citysider Holiday Apartments! The apartments were very spacious and ideal for our family with small children. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. While the location isn’t the most central, everything is still within walking distance if you don’t mind a bit of a walk. A special thanks to Manager Heinrich – he was incredibly helpful and friendly, truly going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Julia, 13-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a good stay here, was only a 1k walk to the Esplanade, shops were also close by. Fairly clean in the unit, did find some things left by previous guests. If offering a clean/sheet change after a 7 day stay, perhaps this could be done in the middle of the stay, as we had 8 nights and it didn't happen.

Jessica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value for money!

We had a very comfortable apartment, albeit a bit dated but perfectly functional. The saltwater pool is a gem and the garden areas beautifully landscaped. It was a little out of the centre of Cairns and with no nearby public transport that could be a problem for some.

Noisy and a little far out, next time I will stay closer to the water.

Good few days stay!

Citysider was very good, apt clean, everything you could need, couple running it helpful and pleasant. Was a steady knocking sound in our bedroom all night! No idea what it was! Forgot to mention it!!
Barbara, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great place to travel with children. The manager was friendly and courteous and the children missed him. We were planning to go to Fitzroy Island for two nights and return to this apartment again, and despite our urgent request to leave our luggage for two nights, they were willing to accommodate us. Moreover, they made adjustments so that I could leave it in the room. Thank you very much!!
Naka, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The Customer service was great, very polite and kind, however, I arrived late on night 1, I established my fridge didn’t work, I informed reception. They got someone out (apparently) but it was never fixed. This for me was just disappointing as I select apartments with full kitchens for a reason. Not having a fridge for 4 days very very inconvenient, no compensation offered.

Unit was spacious and had everything needed. Manager was great, went above and beyond. Plumbing knocking during the night was a problem. No smoke alarms was concerning.

6/10 Good

宿泊前のチャットも適切に回答してくれて、施設の対応としては全く問題なし。 到着後に朝食でカフェに行きたいと話したら10分くらいの距離を車で送ってくれました。 シャワーのカーテンが短いせいかトイレ部分までびちゃびちゃになります。 アメニティはないが、洗濯機用の洗剤は1パックだけ置かれてました。 その他はコンロ、電子レンジ、各種食器が揃っていて、エアコンもあるので不便はありません。 カフェやナイトマーケットまでは徒歩で20-25分ほどかかるので、暗い道で女性だけだと少し不安かもしれません。
