Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cairns

Hilton Cairns

8/10 Good

"Good location, nice water view, pool, comfortable rooms. But the buffet breakfast needs some attention. It was very busy and having just one (working) coffee machine for1 00+ people is just unacceptable. You either have to wait or pay extra for a handmade one. Not very luxe."

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great budget hotel . Staff friendly & helpful. Pool is great ."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"The hotel is lovely but some updating on guest service access and information is needed. QR code not working to look up amenities/services and some information is inaccurate, i.e. the location of laundry services. But location is awesome and the room was spacious. Loved having bath robes :)"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Loved the deck overlooking the Esplanade and easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

8/10 Good

"Well situated and appointed family resort, set in lush gardens with restaurants within the complex. As an older couple travelling without a car we left the pools to the very happy families using them. However we could walk to the stunning Botanic Gardens and use the bus to travel into the city for the wonderful Kuranda Rail trip and walks along the Esplanade. The resort makes a good base, the staff are all lovely and rooms are serviced daily."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, not the best location, especially having to walk past the hospital at night. Would have been nice to have the bar open after 10pm in the evening. Staff were attentive to maintenance issues raised and were keen to offer compensation in the form of free services."

10/10 Excellent

"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."
