Hotels in Cairns

Good location in a quiet street, front desk has very professional staff that greet you with a smile and hello at all times, I arrived extremely early but it wasn't a issue as my bag was securely stored in a locked room whilst I wandered off to come back when my room was made ready, my room was well maintained and clean. Its about a 15 to 20 minute walk to the marina and its not a difficult walk at...

The hotel's location was excellent (within walking distance and close to the bus stop). When returning to the hotel when the front desk wasn't staffed, the automatic doors wouldn't open unless you inserted your room key, so security was assured. Amenities included two shampoos and two bars of soap. Luggage storage was available both before check-in and after check-out. The staff were friendly, so it...

The hotel is a little far from the port, but the price is reasonable. It's only a ten-minute walk. Even though there are fewer people walking at night, it feels safe. If you've checked in after the check-in time, the store will proactively leave your key in your mailbox. If you don't receive the email, you can call the front desk at the door and they will come out to help.

The hotel is quite good for one night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's quite expensive for a room like this; the room was rather dated, and the bed wasn't particularly comfortable.

Excellent value for money, and incredibly close to the Esplanade so the location is perfect. Furnishings are definitely old though, but for the price you pay - you cannot complain. Swimming pool is very small, unheated and a little dirty, but fine if you want to get accustomed to water before doing the reef (which is what you're in Cairns for right?)!

Nice Hotel ..... very comfortable and good breakfast

The room was spacious and great for relaxing, but the Wi-Fi connection was pretty bad... It felt like there was barely any signal outside the reception area

My bed was comfortable although the rooms and hotel overall is dated

Hotel was a bit tired but ok. There was one or two unruly guests that spoilt it.

Not comportable and outdated. Service not good😟

no drinking water in room , breakfast was of very poor quality , the entire property is dated and needs a good clean , cannot recommend this hotel

Very dated rooms. Clean but badly in need of a renovation. Certainly nowhere near the 4 stars advertised. Location is good but I would not stay again. Better value elsewhere

Good location, great family room with separate rooms and a mini kitchen. Poor storage, no drying facilities for swim wear at a beach resort. Restaurant was closed, not mentioned at time of booking.

On the night when we arrived, we got the last room on ground floor as we came in pretty late and that was the last room available. Some local people argued and shouted loudly right outside our room. My young daughter got so disturbed and scared. The next morning I raised the issue with Evan. Evan was incredibly welcoming and helpful when I shared my concerns then he relocated us to another quiet room...

The lighting of the hotel room can be improved.  The emergency contact button doesn't work well.  No 24-hour reception service. However, the staff is helpful and friendly.

Our room was 208 on the second floor tiny nothing like the photo of room I thought I had booked. Room facing the street lots of people walking past during the night I was surprised we could hear them so clearly on the 2nd floor. Room was clean, painted dark blue which made it feel super small. No hand shower it’s a large rainfall type but not always suitable for everyone, lovely bathroom products....

Room size was comfortable for two adults and teenager. Building felt clean and comfortable, until ants showed up! First one adult found an ant crawling on her cellphone. Then we found them on the window sill, and down the wall, then.... A maintenance man came and sprayed, but a couple of us would wake in the night to look and see whether the ants were still coming. Next day I asked for an adjustment...

Had a good stay at the Mercure Hotel in Cairns. The location is great, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and plenty of nearby restaurants. It’s also right next to the Cairns Aquarium, which was super convenient. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The only downside was being on the ground floor it could get noisy at night with people shouting...

Noisy Rooms were a bit tired. Seemed to be a lot of people including us who struggled to get WiFi to work

It was right next to Cairns Aquarium and Cairn Performing Arts Center, and only a couple of blocks from the Esplanade. The bed was comfortable and the room was cute and well arranged. The hotel was very clean. All of the staff I interacted with were very friendly, helpful and professional.

My room was wonderful with a lovely view. It was so quiet. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of the city centre, the Esplanade and the Marina. The staff were so helpful.

Great accommodation experience, the counter staff are very friendly and the room is spacious

We had an EXCELLENT experience staying at the Cairns Plaza, especially the friendly and helpful welcome upon check in (young women, brown hair, very hospitable). All amenities were great, including the hotel pool. We were just a stones throw from the lagoon and a short stroll to the town centre. The team even held our bags after check out and allowed us to use their pool and changing rooms. Thank you

This is a hotel that really wants to give a full five-star rating! Although it is only rated three stars, it actually has all the necessary facilities, is clean and tidy, and has large rooms. The suite living room also has a microwave and various tableware (no kitchenware, just plates, forks, spoons and other tableware). It is enough for tourists who do not pursue luxury and high-star enjoyment, and...

location is good , staff are friendly, we have booked a sea view room, which is wonderful.

Spent 4 nights at the Cairns Plaza and couldn’t have been happier. Good, clean room. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant with it. Excellent location for getting around - 15 mins walk from the reef terminals and 3 mins walk to the bus to the botanical gardens. Very close to cafes/restaurants, the night market and shops. I knew beforehand there was no hotel restaurant but breakfast/meal...

We have visited Cairns several times and this is the nicest place we have stayed in. We were with our adult children and were very pleased with our spacious 3-bed apartment with a big balcony and undercover parking. Nicely furnished and plenty of space for everyone. An easy walk to the center of town yet very quiet and just across the street from the waterfront and a brilliant cafe (Muddy's). Lovely...

A family of six lives here, very satisfied

Water's Edge is located in a prime spot in Cairns. Having the esplanade across the street was perfect for daily walks and access to the marina with all the restaurants. And having Muddy's Cafe directly across the street was great. Our 3 bedroom swim out apartment was spacious for 2 couples. The master bedroom was in the front of the apartment while the other 2 bedrooms were in the rear so makes for...

The room is big and you can cook. The dryer broke on the first day of your stay. They didn't help us change rooms in time. They came to fix it the day before we checked out (we stayed for four days). There was no sunshade in the room, just a screen window. I was woken up by the sun at 7 o'clock every morning. When I slept at night, the street lights on the road shone into the room. I won't stay here...

We had a wonderful stay in December. Many thanks to managers Tania & Craig for their welcoming, warm and kind hospitality. The apartment was spacious and well equipped with large rooms, two bathrooms, full personal laundry for all your needs and kitchen with everything you could require. Beautiful large balcony with full dining area. Pools were perfect for our two boys and towels were also supplied...

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with family and there was plenty of space to move and enjoy. A really nice, clean, well thought out apartment. The master bedroom is huge, with a great spa-bath in the ensuite. The beds are comfy, the lounge room has a lot of space and the view from the verandah is fabulous. It's about a 10 to 15 minute walk into town which we did along the promenade which was beautiful

Easy to meet people, book tours. I book a 8 female room and we were only 4 some nights. Calm and quiet in the room (we don’t hear the music )

What a rave, This place is jam packed with activities and its location is top. If you are seeking an accomodation that's in the midst of all the happenings, this is the place to be! However, I would not consider this "5 Star" so much as I expected more in terms of the aesthetics and amenities provided in the room comparable to that of a true 5 star hotel. Also check out their foam parties! Top notch

Great hostel, crowd is diverse, lots of young people. Great price for a 4-bed female dorm room. However, music was loud till 3am so this is not the place to stay if you want a quiet night to sleep lol. Overall, great place with great staff.

I gotta say this nightclub exceeded my expectations. Great sound system and vibe. Very diverse crowd, informal, some people wearing costumes, everyone just dancing and having a good time. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard. It is an attraction on its own, worth checking it out.

Great party hostel! The rooms are clean. The kitchen space is big and there is plenty of communal space. Met some great people here! If you're a girl I'd suggest the female dorm rather than mixed. The best part is the pool bar. The Gilligan's Sunday session is the best! My favourite day of the week in Cairns. Music plays until late - 3am - so if you want a good night of sleep, ask for a room on the...

Honestly Gilligan's was great. I personally am not a frequent hostel goer and was a bit skeptical but Gilligan's met all my expectations. People were friendly, the rooms were clean (which was a big factor for me), and the location is great. We booked a private room with a bathroom, a king sized bed and a balcony for my boyfriend and I. The room came with a water boiler, instant coffee, towels, hair...

I recently stayed at the White Rock Leisure Park and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The park itself is very well kept and has a variety of activities available, making it a great destination for families. There are also some great restaurants and shops nearby, so you won't have to go far to find something to do. Overall...

Quiet place, good prices (we stayed in a family cabin) but air-conditioning wasn't working in one side of cabin, lady at desk said it was new ( it was quite old) so had to leave adjoining door open so other a/c unit could cool both rooms, wasn't ideal and didn't cool well (stayed over Xmas so was hot). Could be a really nice place if the cleaned up some of the residents sites, old buses falling apart...

It's clean cheap not flash but comfy handy for shopping and not to far from Cairns

Male only cabins that have no toilet and it's very expensive at over$200 per week. No refunds at all. Very disappointed.

The room is clean and hygienic, the surrounding is quiet, parking is convenient, and you need to swipe your card to enter and exit, which is very safe

really good air conditioner, clean tidy, functional. secure parking and car outside the door.

Stayed across the road from here its a good modern pub. I had 2 meals here the ribs and a steak sandwich both were good meals and the steak sandwich is large although the ribs need more sauce

The food is amazing, same with service. Was honestly really surprised at the quality of their food and service being in the location it is. The lamb shank from there I crave every week. Also very family friendly. This place is very underrated, in my opinion beats all the taverns in Northside even.

Stopped in for lunch and a bevo. Ordered online. Easy as. You are better off doing it this way as can view huge selection of chefs specials. Meals came out together and didn't have to wait long. Very reasonably priced. Cold drinks. Clean and tidy restaurant and after meal, waiter offered glass of water. Great service. Will definitely be back. 11 out of 10.

We stayed here for week in a family room and we were very impressed with our hotel, the rooms are in a gated area, so safe and secure, we had three bedrooms, beds super comfy had a good sleep, each room had it's own air conditioning unit, helps to sleep on those hot nights! A lovely kitchenette with cereal provided for breakfast and private court yard. Shopping Centre and restaurants just down the...

Try to avoid at any cost; worst possible place I've stayed till date. Spring mattress which was very uncomfortable, room smelt so bad, walls cracked and broken. Picture shown are deceiving and doesn't justify what you get, be ready to be dissapointed. No doona at all, was told blanket was available which was dusty and worn out. Room service not provided daily as they want to preserve the environment...

Friendly staff and reasonable rates make this an ideal overnight stopover accommodation.

Enjoyed the stay airconditioned old and dust not cold, sinks dirty, water not provided slept in dust and hot

Loved every bit of our stay. When we first got there reception was Awesome and so friendly, felt very welcome with my partner. Definitely going back again.

We had a very pleasant 4 Night stay at Hotel Tropiq! Very pleased with everything! Parking arrangements could be improved, but we always managed to find a spot. 👍👍👍👍👍

Large rooms with great amenities. Helpful reception staff (leaving bags for day trips etc). Only issue was that it’s a 20-30 minute walk to the main *****. Other than that, great place to stay and great value!

Good location. Staff are great and accommodating....rooms basic but beat and clean. Overly court yard with pool to chill it in. Quiet considering on main road.

My daughter left her soft plush in room, staff were helpful and we are happy to stay at the connecting rooms in Queens Court.

Room was ready early which was great. The room was very neat and clean and the staff were very helpful. I also swam in the pool which was so clean. I will definitely return

It's very clean and tidy. The room was quite comfortable and had all the necessary items, such as soap, shampoo, toilet paper, towels, etc. It's located four blocks from the beach.

Only lost one point from me, because of the WiFi signal but I can live without I'm just glad I don't have the kids with me. Personally apart from that my stay was flawless. It has the perfect, location, service, security, cleanliness, not overly priced and I've also saved a lot of cigarettes (because I'm too lazy to walk outside to have one). Then there's the bed!! Wow the bed is lovely, on arrival...

Wonderful, clean and the price of the hotel is very valuable.

The accommodations were super clean and environmentally sensitive - and a very nice walk from all the things going on in the city. They had great information about tourist spots and where to go as a local. If you're there for more than a few days, I highly recommend! Their free bikes and pool were the cherries on top.

We had the most amazing experience. Great staff, apartment ( very spacious, many useful amenities, great pool) and location in a calm area within walking distance of all the great night life!

Clean but need renovations Need some renovations. Also, in the room the furnitures are very basic. The swimming pool is good. Clean.

The room had a funny smell but we bought a freshener and it was fine. I love the fact they have proper washing powder and family size shampoo etc. There were a lot of convenient inclusions in the cupboards. Rooms are large and clean and very comfortable. Reception staff very helpful.

The location is good, 10 minutes walk to the shopping center (supermarket and shopping), 25 minutes to the cruise terminal. The staff is very friendly. The cleanliness of the room needs to be improved. When I checked in, the bed sheets had some mold stains and many furnitures were dusty. Some supplies such as pots and pans, electrical appliances are a little worn out. Overall, the price/performance...

We stayed here during the spring break for our children. First of all, don't get confused and understand that this is an apartment, not a hotel. If you can prepare and buy your own personal items as needed, it's a very nice place. It has good access to the Cairns shopping center and other major facilities, there is no problem with parking for rental cars, the pool is only available to guests, so you...

Was nervous due to past reviews, but found the reception staff friendly and helpful & the facilities really good. The room was basic but location was walkable and, whilst a little noisy at night sometimes, the other guests were kind and considerate. Would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay it was in a great location , clean with clean towels everyday.

very bad internet , slow and unstable . cosy ,cheap , room not cleaned over 3 days

We stay one night for connection It's hostel not too much to accept.

It is an old building, so you may hear the others. The location is good, you can walk to the main road and city center. Just stayed one night, it was closeby the airport.

The room was disappointing, exceptionally small, with parking facilities at a distance from the room. While we were provided with a ground floor room due to mobility issues, the long walk between parking spot and room negated the ground floor location. Although the room was designed to sleep up to three people, (one double, one single) it contained only one chair. The microwave and jug shared one...

Excellent accommodation stay here a lot when in Cairns for work . Always Clean off street secure parking and free wifi . I wouldn't stay anywhere else . Budget affordable. Suites for short stay or full self contained apartments with full kitchen . Washing machine and dryer available.

Neat little motel with clean rooms and facilities. Rooms are fairly spacious, too. Good value for money accommodation option. Some guests are a noisy bunch, and the noise from the stairwell leaks into your rooms, particularly when it's 5am and they thunder off to their days activity.

We are a family of 4 who stayed here for 7 nights in July. We stayed in the 2 bedroom superior apartment - it had loads of space for us, nice balcony and we were able to do our washing and also able to eat in on a few occasions as there was more than enough kitchen utensils. We were really happy with the accommodation and also used the pool a couple of times. You are about a 10 min walk to the...

We were travelling as two couples. Getaway on Grafton was a comfortable and spacious place. Each couple had their own bathroom and there was a spacious lounge/dining area with a kitchen and deck. The pool was lovely to swim in even in the middle of winter.

It’s the small things that make a difference! Half a dozen dishwasher tablets rather than one! A bottle of washing up liquid rather than a sachet. A towel and bed sheet change during the stay, all practical but help keep the property in good order!

Spacious rooms with amenities which we were looking for - kitchen, laundry, and pool. Although it is very walkable to the CBD, some people may prefer having a car for their stay. They do have rental e-scooters for those who don't want to walk in the rainforest weather

We booked two bedrooms, all spaces are big and nice clean. Staffs are friendly and welcoming , and helpful .

Environment: OK Hygiene: Good Facilities: There were six people staying in the living room. There were two folding beds, one of which was broken. I felt uncomfortable sleeping on the first and second days. I mentioned it to them on the third day and they replaced it in time. Their attitude was pretty good!

Nice size apartments with good amenities. It's old and could use some maintenance by some of the owners, but it was clearly a high quality place when it was built. Our apartment wasn't ready when we checked in and had to wait nearly an hour. The dishes were dirty when we finally got in. The master bed base was broken and needy jerry rigging to make stop the mattress sagging. The second bedroom ceiling...

Very accommodating- early check in, late check out

This properly was clean and neat. The 2 bedroom is a large unit with a large kitchen and sitting area. I do recommend getting some more AC in the bedrooms, but the living area was comfortable.

A very clean apartment, plenty of room. A nice view out to the cairns waterfront and very quiet area. The apartment is an older style but comfortable.the staff were very helpful. The only odd thing was the old round shower/ spa with a shower curtain. But it worked and was clean. Good value for our money, when we wanted to eat out every night for the 7 days.

Not a 4 star hotel - just a very decent apartment Clean enough - there was dust on top of fridge and under bed (it moved). Overall it was clean and good location. Didn’t appreciate we had to take the garbage out and put in the chute - wish it was known. Furniture was dated could use an upgrade. Better coffee instead of just powdered. Maybe a bottled waters when people arrive. And WiFi range was not...

At the quiet end of the esplanade with great views over the ocean . Easy walking distance to muddys and playground, cafe and beach volleyball and and not much further to main activity hub We walked to RSL and cenotaph on the esplanade for 11/11 commemoration and then on to public pool for a dip. Really easy walk. Staff were really friendly and accommodating as we needed to stay a bit longer, no problem...

I booked an apartment for three weeks while I was visiting family in Cairns and used it as a base when out exploring FNQ. It was perfect. Spacious, clean and, the linen was changed when I was out of town. The decor and furniture could do with some updating and given a more tropical flavour with white cotton linen on the very comfortable bed. Anthony is the star of this show and works incredibly hard...

We stayed here recently and really enjoyed our time. The apartment had everything we needed and the balcony was the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the view. The pool is heated to 29 degrees so we were able to swim even though it was a bit cooler weather. We would recommend this place and stay here again

We rented in this building due to proximity to Tobruk Swimming Pool- 10-15 minutes walk. It takes about 30 minutes to walk into the centre of Cairns, so a bit inconvenient for dinners etc but that was our choice. The staff were really very friendly and helpful. The unit was spacious and furniture was pretty comfortable. 2 big sofas! The king size bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has the basics...

Drug test staff. Receptionist Anthony was high. Showing signs of DV towards his boyfriend. I have kids this is not a great family place. Check in got giving wrong room. Saw his bf come in and watched him abuse him. Then caught him smoke pipes on the grounds. Drug test him please

Had lovely apartment with sea view, all the equipment you need to prepare meals, we had friends staying in a smaller apartment so we cooked for them and had a few drinks rather than go out. Slept well, nice quiet location with ocean views. Used the pool which was nice and crashing, also had a bbq area. Could have done with more, tea and coffee and milk, also only 3 shampoos to last for 8 days. ...

We have stayed a number of time with you now and alway a friendly smile to greet us Central to cairns and all it has to offer Your rooms have it all for us to relax unwind and take in cairns Thank you for our great stays each time with you See you again

good hotel with quite a convenient location. have their own poor, can relax and chill there!

The level of domestic hotels with a price of around 100

the service is very good no elevator, but so far is good as well

The hotel is in a good location, not far from the night market, the sea pier, the supermarket and the main street. The facilities are a bit old, the reception staff are quite enthusiastic, and the luggage storage is convenient

Just to help someone else to reserve .don’t know the details

We stayed 2 nights, 1 night on 1st floor near the pool and another on 2nd floor. I wouldn’t recommend to stay on 1st floor, the room was damp and had couple mosquitoes, and you can hear everything from the pool. The room on 2nd was much better.

It's great when you arrive at a location where it completely matches the description and photographs in the app. Ticked all our boxes and can thoroughly recommend the location to others (March 2023)

Really great rooms. Free drink at the pub as well as discount for food. Will stay here everytime I am in Cairns.

Came for dinner before a show, they had limited vegetarian options but the , willwoman with the American accent at the bar suggested the stirfy with tofu - instead of beef, it was great. Creedence show was so busy and the queues for the bar were insane but the staff handled it so well, will definitely be back!

My wife and I and two friends had Christmas lunch here on Christmas Day. The food was excellent, with prawns, oysters and Moreton Bay bugs plus a selection of festive food, such as turkey, ham etc. The desserts were also great, and everything was very well organized, with helpful and attentive staff. We will be back for the same next year! Highly recommended.

Everything about this pub from food to atmosphere is just OK. Other than the bands. They get some great live music and support Australian artists.

The staff are amazing. Food was fantastic. Great place to get out of the heat for a while.

Felt likd my old boss wings was playing head games somehoe ingluencing othersnegativly towatds my life the took advantage of hotel to put me on display felt very uneasy watched anf a vety blank feeli g of what yhe actual fuk happening at same time felt ve tree u sqfe and secure. Not a bad place if you dont have what i can only logicly asaume to be menyal issues very clean

Close to noisy road. Not mycfirst choise next time.

Dated but well priced, conveniently located accommodation.

Our room was nice, clean and comfortable! The reception was very kind and helpful us everything

Good Chinese restaurant - nice food and the price is reasonable. The shower room window is terrible - tall guys can easily peek into the shower area - this makes my female family members very discomfortable!

Out of hours check in process was simple. Room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of car parking spaces. Quiet location.

Manager was very helpful Nothing was a challenge for her Very good at her job

Relatively cheap but very old and dated. Exterior building needs urgent clean (paths moldy and unsafe to walk on in rain) and urgent garden maintenance. Rooms good size and close to hospital.

Nice and affordable place to live near the esplanade

In need of a refurb. Actual facilities good; rooms very run down and in need of refurb. Room had an unpleasant musty/smoky smell (carpet?); very quiet and dark location near pool with small private outdoor area.

Great location but service could be better, cleanliness of the property needs to improve as well. Seen plenty of cockroaches right at the doorstep of our room.

Really great location. Staff helpful and friendly. Very good price for what you get. Really enjoyed all the amenities, toiletries inside the room. They thought of everything.
