Cairns and Barrier Reef hotel rooms a the Independent

"Basic met all my needs highly affordable "

"This was a very nice property. We enjoyed it a lot. I was sorfy the restaurant was not open for dinner, but the breakfast buffet was very nice "

"Lovely staff"

"This hotel is very well situated - easy walking to the Cairns marina, esplanade and various top restaurants. Our marina executive room had a wonderful view of the marina and mountains beyond. Walking to the city centre is also easy. Our room was well serviced by staff who were very non intrusive. The facilities are very clean. Updating the t.v. to a smart t.v. to allow access to streaming channels would be a plus.The pool is in a lovely setting, but some form of water heating would make swimming in the pool in August more inviting. Overall though a lovely place to stay."

"The breakfast spread is excellent. Great options for all ages. The hotel is conveniently located close to most restaurants and stores. The esplanade is also a short walk. "

"Three pools and 24/7 reception was very good. "

"Lovely central location, perfect for a night away and dinner out in the city"

"Excellent staff as always and a late checkout. Rooms could do with new refrigerators. Plus as a woman in the gym on her own it would be good to either have the walking machines face the door - or have mirrored glass on the wall opposite the door so I can see what is happening behind me and who has come in. "

"Excellent place to stay and only a short walk to the Cairns CBD and Marina area. Property in excellent condition with a great pool area. Staff are very friendly and helpful."
