What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Cozy

My one bedroom apartment was spacious, featuring a large living area and a well-equipped kitchen complete with a dishwasher and a coffee machine. The laundry cupboard with a full-size washer and dryer was an unexpected bonus, making my stay so much more convenient. I loved sitting on the balcony to enjoy views of the bustling esplanade. It truly felt like home during my time there!

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool at Mantra Trilogy was fantastic! It was a great size for the complex, and I enjoyed relaxing there, even when it rained. I can only imagine how much better it would feel under the sun. It was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Cairns and the surrounding area.

I was excited for my week-long holiday at Mantra Trilogy in Cairns, especially given its fantastic location near the esplanade. However, my experience was a mix of highs and lows. I faced issues with my initial room due to a strong moldy smell, followed by an underwhelming second room that felt outdated. Parking was another hassle, as I could never find a spot in the garage during my stay. Overall, while the location and friendly staff were significant pluses, the condition and amenities of the rooms left much to be desired.

My stay at Mantra Trilogy in Cairns had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to beaches and local restaurants, but the room I initially received had a strong musty smell that required me to request a room change. After relocating, the new room was more acceptable, but still quite basic and in need of updates. I was also disappointed by the lack of mid-week cleaning services during my week-long stay.
