The Flynn is a lovely location on the Esplanade. Great for walking along the water. Lots of dining options in the hotel and surrounding. Splash Seafood was fantastic, as was Just Divine Gelato. Nights Markets are steps away as well!

Excellent location. Close to everything and connected to he night market and Esplanade. My complaint is that they don't wash their pillows and one of mine smelled like it was soaked in sweat, not necessarily body odour, but moreso like a wet towel, from the previous guests who used the room and they only changed out the pillow case. It was so bad I had to throw it in one corner of the room. My second room (had 2 different bookings) was a lot better. But there was a lingering musty smell coming from the decorative pillows, which I think is caused by the humidity. Tbh those decorative pillows are not needed. Theure just a waste of space.

Very nice hotel in a very convenient spot of Cairns CBD. Loved the pool that is transparent to the restaurant area downstairs. You can easily walk down the street and there are just tons of restaurants nearby that are all very good, and the night market is great for shopping for souvenirs. Coffee shop there that opens early morning by the night market corner is a great option for breakfast. It is also walkable to the Marina terminal as well as the Cairns train station (for boat tours and Kuranda train ride). My only issue is the room we had was slightly too small for 2 parents and 1 child (with rollaway bed). The bathroom was also small. The glass door for the shower area was not water tight and water leaks out.

Enjoyed my stay at the Crystalbrook Flynn. The actual hotel was beautiful. Has a bridge that takes right out front of the beach boardwalk where all the restaurants are. I had an issue with my room upon arrival. However, the staff sorted it out very quickly and efficiently. They organized a different room for me immediately. The actual room was modern and really nice. The hotel was a bit hard to find as there were a few of them with the same name. Also, I think the parking should be free or cheaper per night.

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!

Nice modern building.Rooms are very big and have washing machine and dryer.The place is a little bit away from central surfers. Swimming pool access is located through the Foyer and kids track the water from pool to elevators making the floors so slippy. Mostly a family hotel, not a quiet retreat for those looking for a relaxing and peaceful time.

Only a few issues with the Hotel. The reception is up one level and it’s a hassle to take suitcases up and down all the time even though you have a suitcase elevator it’s a bit of a drama.Swimming pool is a shocker!!! It’s a glass pool all passers by and diners can watch you swim from underneath,like a fish in an aquarium,who wants to do that? It’s a shame as in hot weather you want to take a dip,but not in a glass bowl viewed by the passers by. Architect must have been on something strong when he designed this place!! Other than that the staff are great!!! And the hotel rooms are awesome .The Italian restaurant goes out their way to spoil you while you dine .
