Crystalbrook Flynn was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We paid for the Sea View and had a balcony overlooking the Reef Wheel and the big wide water. The room was lovely and clean with a beautiful design that had bespoke art that was a welcome change to the boring generic art in most hotel rooms. Breakfast buffet downstairs was great and I marvelled at how the same space changed into The Flynn Italian at night. Hotel is situated perfectly on the Esplanade, near tour pickups and other restaurants. I highly recommend Crystalbrook Flynn for a hotel stay in Cairns. Our stay was so wonderful that I didn’t want to leave!

Got an accessible room with a view of a huge AC unit. Had to go all the way back to change the room. There is small open lift for wheel chair access at lobby level to take you to front desk as there are quite a few steps. That is great but annoying to use every time you come in and go. There is no help to take the luggage to your room. The room was quite small and inconvenient design. The shower glass door was ineffective and flooded the entire bathroom. In the name of ecotourism- they had these really dirty black tea cups and two super flexible hangers in the room. Had to ask for more! The eco friendliness was a joke - There were a million lights on entire day entire hotel and corridors had ac blasting all day. The breakfast was a mayhem and chaotic. Truck loads of Chinese tourists fighting for the items. Nothing tasted good. No tropical fruits at the buffet - just watermelon and cantaloupe. Very few vegetarian choices. No eggs to order or choice of coffee. The location was great - walking distance to shops, restaurants and night market. We could get car rental from nearby Enterprise and walk to Cairns station for train to Kuranda. Overall, book this hotel only for the location. Don’t worry about breakfast inclusive rate. There are a thousand choices right outside - more authentic, healthier and value for money. Avoid if you have mobility access issues.
