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!

Bad lighting in the room . The main pool was freezing cold so we couldn’t relax with a drink as there was No service around the pool.fridge and room facilities not filled - had to ask! Room was not that clean. Bed not made properly. Some of the staff were apologetic but would not stay there again as it was a hit and miss of service.

Stayed at the Flynn for two nights and were happy to return for another two after we did a catamaran sail off shore. Staff was amazing and helpful and eager to assist. Rooms we had were nice with good beds and great showers. Nespresso coffee which I’m always pleased to see. Great location to the Esplanade and shopping. Recommend!
