If you are looking for a place to stay that has everything then this is the place to be. I went with 3 other friends & we all had our own apartment which is spacious & very comfy. It was great to have such a large space to relax & unwind. Everything you need is there including washer & dryer. The pool area is great & there is a large bbq under a gazebo with plenty if tables & chairs. Location is central to everything. Night markets next door & woolworths in the next road. Plenty of brochures in foyer & girls at desk are very pleasant. Thank you for a great holiday!

The hotel is in a great location, next door to the night markets and restaurants, Woolies is a 5 minute walk for supplies, and 10 minute walk to cruise terminal for day trips to the Barrier Reef. The apartments have a small kitchen with utilities and medium size fridge which came in handy for breakfast and making sandwiches for our day trips. My grandson loved the pool as it was heated and he could swim anytime regardless of the weather. (It rained for 4 days of our trip). The rooms were clean, and beach towels were available from reception.

We stayed here for three nights. It is very centrally located. If you have a car make sure you asked for a car parking space. You can easily walk to most things in town from the hotel. Great to have a washing machine and dryer to use.

Weather was cold and there was no way to get warm, ( no blankets) understandably not needed very often I'd imagine . Loved the central location to restaurants and the night market. Staff were excellent.

I had a one bedroom apartment facing the pool it was really nice, clean with amenities kitchen microwave washing machine etc. it was quite big. The pool looked lovely but it was raining so I didn’t go in. Close the everything the esplanade shopping restaurants. There is nothing to complain about it was really quiet and the staff especially Shelagh very nice and helpful. I would recommend this boutique hotel and it’s reasonably priced.

What a very disappointing end to a perfect 3 weeks of travel in FNQ and staying in some amazing places. Il Palazzo unfortunately was not one of them. Our check in process on Easter Monday was difficult with no staff on duty and an intercom outside service that kept cutting out.Whilst centrally located, the hotel is in need of a huge revamp in their rooms. Our 1 bedroom apartment, on the 1st floor, was tucked away in the corner with a dirty synthetic grassed area for the outdoor setting. We needed the lights on all the time.The kitchen was tiny, cupboards old and difficult to close and inadequate cooking facilities for an advertised "fully equipped kitchen." There was one power point for the kitchen. The lounge room was quite large but with an extremely small TV. The

We're sorry to hear that the standard room wasn't up to your standards. We actually do have completely renovated rooms within our complex called the 1 bedroom executive suites, with modern features, better appliances, bigger tv and aircon in living room and bedroom. We have made note of your comments and will pass it on to the owners.

If your looking for a affordable,comfortable,welcoming place to stay in Cairns that is also situated right in the middle of absolutely everything and also has a pool you cannot go past IL PALAZZO boutique hotel. From the moment I walked in Leanne and Kim made me feel like I was one of their family, my room ( 6 ) had a separate lounge, dining , kitchen, king bed in the bedroom so comfortable I was asleep in seconds. Nothing to fault this place 2 minutes stroll thru the night market arcade to the Esplanade 9.99999999/10 . 3 other things to say about IL PALAZZO LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

For the medium budget conscious who want a great location, space, cleanliness and comfort you cannot go wrong. My 1 bedroom apartment had been renovated and furnished well including small kitchenette. My balcony was on the street side though private and not too noisy. The swimming pool and barbeque area was welcoming and the pool was pristine. There was an indoor courtyard area where you could sit quietly. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt.

We booked a one bedroom apartment that was spacious, clean and comfortable. It had all of the amenities to accommodate our needs, the furnishings was both functional and comfortable. The apartment opened on to a terrace, with a table & chairs, We were on the same level as the swimming pool. The property is well maintained, brilliantly located close to the shopping area, restaurants and the waterfront. I love that it’s reasonably priced and great value. Well worth a visit.
