My dughter and i have recently returned from a weeks stay at Southern Cross. Although well located within easy walking distance to everything and spotlessly clean our holiday was ruined by the pools and spas being freezing cold. We have travelled all around Australia and have never been expected to sit in a cold spa. Many other guests complained about... more

Very nicely appointed apartments which suited our particular travelling group of a married couple and a sister. We had 2 bedrooms which connected to a lounge and kitchen area. The kitchen included oven, microwave and dishwasher. The washing machine and dryer was excellent. There was no maid service however. The room was on the top floor overlooking one of three... more

Stayed there at the Beginning of Dec 07 for 4 nights, the hotel is 5 minutes to the shopping centre and 15 minutes to the esplanade. After 4 days though, we were tired of walking. We must've walked to the esplanade twice a day. I booked the room through wotif . The room was very clean, the kitchen was fully... more

An excellent base in Cairns. The rooms are very clean and well equiped - the room we stayed in had a fridge, double hob, oven, toater, kettle and all of the pots, pans cutlery etc. that we possibly want. The bed is very comfortable and the air conditioning kept the room cool despite temperatures outside rising to 40 degrees c.... more

Really enjoyed our stay at Southern Cross Atrium. Guests included both Aussies and a mix of international guests including Japanese. We had a one bedroom deluxe apartment overlooking one of the 3 pools. The apartment was beautifully appointed with a great kitchen including a rice cooker and electric wok ( aimed at the Japanese market). Lounge area was comfortable with... more

The apartment we had was nice and clean with a kingsize bed. The 1BR apartments are on the small side but fine if you are not planning to spend your holiday in the room. We like the location and it is not too far to the esplanade (about 1 km) if you don't mind a short walk. The apartment complex... more

Garden view rooms do not have a view of the gardens!!!!!!!!!!!! but we took the third room that we looked at ( room 1069 ) and were very happy with our 7 night stay. Peaceful place with cooking facilities in the room. Clean tidy . Upkeep good. BBQ facilities near pool. Major shopping centre next door. Walking distance to everythig.... more

This place would have to be the best value in downtown Cairns, having done some research prior to our holiday. Basically a very new resort style hotel with three different style swimming pools and right in the town centre. Location is a big plus being virtually next door to Cairns Central shopping centre and within easy walking distance of the... more

Whilst the apartments were very new & comfortable, they are located in a very noisy area. We were often woken by noisy trains and jumbo jets. The apartments are right in the flight path. I found the staff to always be friendly and courteous. Apartments are serviced once weekly, so unless you have a washing machine where you can re... more
