Hotels in Cairns

Overall good, but a very strong paint smell in the room, there also was a bad smell coming from toilet. There was a large spider on the wall in the bathroom. The balcony was very dirty as if it has never been cleaned. But the customer desk personnel were very friendly, courteous and helpful. Next stay we will book an apartment room instead of single room. But overall it was pleasant apart from the...

A well presented accommodation with everything you need. I really liked the front desk hours. They are open till 10.30 pm. The only setback was that the wi fi didn't work.

Great hotel and amazing restaurant. An easy 20-minute walk into Cairns.

The room facilities are relatively old and the lights are dim. Slippers and toothbrushes are not provided. Shower gel and shampoo are of poor quality. The room was on the first floor and there was noise. It should be the sound of the air conditioner engine or other machinery. The breakfast is simple and does not provide the delicacies of various countries. It only has bread, fruits and some drinks...

3 nights sleep at this hotel was super comfy and very convenient. Thank you to the friendly staff ❤️

Hotel was amazing and in a great location! Everything was very neat and tidy and the staff were very helpful!

Modern. Comfy bed. Pool. Air con. Friendly reception. Breakfast available. Reasonable distance from town. Awesome value.

Modern. Pool. Air conditioning. Friendly staff on reception. Value for money. Reasonable distance from town.

Great Great service lovely staff clean rooms. Older hotel but reasonably priced.

I had the best stay at Abbott Hotel! Lovely and clean rooms in an absolutely perfect location. Super quick walk to everything - restaurants, bars, docks for boat trips, Daintree pick ups, etc. The highlight though was the staff, they were so incredibly kind and friendly. Special shout out to the manager, Peter, for making my time there so memorable. We would chat every time I passed the desk, and it...

Great communication and organisation resulted in a hassle-free late check in. Extremely competitive pricing - location, convenience, cleanliness and high customer service. The Manager, Peter was very friendly and accommodating! The team at the Abbott Boutique Hotel really cares about their guests and it shows. Highly recommend!

Abbott was well appointed with the best location in Cairns. We were in walking distance of the coast, harbour, shopping and restaurant areas. The manager, Peter, was warm and helpful, telling us of the local history of the place and helping with directions to anything we needed help with. He checked us in early and gave us a upgrade to enable it!! Extremely gracious. We would definitely recommend...

We required a room at very short notice. Within 10 minutes of calling we were able to check in. Peter was super helpful with our enquiry and last minute request. We weren’t sure what to expect and were absolutely impressed with the hotel and the room. Location is fantastic, close to literally everything you need. On our final day we were able to have a super late check out. 10/10. Highly recommended...

This is a charming historic hotel, brought up to date with modern conveniences. It is within easy walking distance to most major tourist attractions, dozens of bars and restaurants and a large grocery store. Peter Wright, the manager was extremely helpful in guiding us during our stay and booking our tours. He was very friendly, and we had many great conversations. We had an excellent time in Cairns...

almost across the road from the race course 5 minutes walking distance

This place is very nice. My room was nice & clean & the person at the reception was helpful & lovely. It is close to Earville Shopping Centre & near Cannon Race Course. Good place to stay when the Amathers horse racing is on. You can drink & just walk back to the Motel. Beside the Motel is a very nice Chinese restaurant. The name of it is Pearl Garden. The food is very nice from there.

Such clean rooms, staff so lovely. Bed very comfy & great size TV. Definitely recommend.

Lovely appointed rooms for a Motel. It's on the southern end of Cairns, so about a 10-15 drive from the city. However, there is a large shopping centre just down the road. Ideally situated for people who love the ponies. Canon Park Racecourse is just across the road.

The rooms were definitely beautiful,great work cannon park staff.

Great place to stop if you are a tradie needing to rest! Clean and well maintained and the owners are warm and inviting.

Great place family had a great time would recommend highly

Great place would definitely recommend good sized rooms for a great price

Yo, this place is incredible!! I love it! Super spacious rooms?? Yes please, sign me up!! Wonderful people there. The staff will make you laugh, and join you in kickass times. Really fun, family vibe with good day trips to the beautiful surrounding nature. I love these people and this place

I really enjoyed staying here! The owner, Wayne, was incredibly friendly, which was so nice to have as a solo traveler. He was able to give me some great suggestions and I was able to book my excursions through the hostel, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. On the days I was local, the location, only a 15-20 minute walk from town, was ideal. My hostel room was clean and comfortable. The hostel is...

the location is lovely- outside of the noisy parts of the city but close enough to join in on the fun whenever you like. the hostel itself is super friendly, has a pool, an awesome (free) pool table and nice comfy beds. the owner, Wayne, is super chill and very kind.

Friendly staff, very helpful! There are little ants everywhere but we got told that's normal so yea ... Rooms are big cozy and have a nice shower!

Five Stars - A Home Away From Home in Cairns! Our stay at 201 Lake St Luxury Apartments was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the cleanliness and the sheer amount of amenities provided. Everything you could possibly want for a holiday in Cairns is right here. Seriously, it felt like a home away from home. The apartment itself was impeccably clean, boasting new...

It’s been an affordable, reliable go-to hotel for us in Cairns over the past few years. The staff are always accomodating and happy to make any adjustments. The rooms are a bit tired though and detail isn’t really a priority. Book ahead to get the floor level and room that suits.

Great place to stay. I had a large suite room with lovely bathroom with bath tub. Did find the mattress to be a bit firm for my liking. The location is a good 17 min walk to waterfront and can be a bit much if walking during hot months. Pool was lovely but could have done with a bit more greenery and sun umbrellas around the pool area. Overall parts looked a bit tired, but generally a tidy clean...

A very well set up apartment, with a large, clean and comfortable room, which made our week here most enjoyable. The pool is large and a great asset on a hot day. Check in was quick and the staff always friendly & helpful. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Cairns.

Friendly staff, nice apartments, central location. Clean. Fair bit of traffic noise and old noisy ducted air con but other than that pretty good. I would consider staying there again. Secure off street parking.

This was our second visit. Can’t wait till next year. Our room was lovely, the facilities in it were spot on and the king size bed bed was super comfortable. The bathroom is huge with a shower and separate bath, if that’s your thing. The pool is huge and very well maintained. Free parking and the location was perfect. Suzi and her staff are very friendly and accommodating. This is a quiet and...

All good. Close to a mall with many food options. Dinner options are a longer walk. Scenic Rail station is across the road. We took an entire apartment of 2 rooms + kitchen + separate toilet & shower.

I can’t tell how much I loved this place! If you’re having a problem Deciding I’d say go for it! Wifi is fast, AC works well, the house has a cosy and welcoming vibe. It almost feels like home. It also has a cute little pool to relax and chill in. I really love my stay here. This is my first night and I’m already loving it so much! The owners are fast to reply and help. It’s very conveniently located...

It's about 25 minutes from CBD and depending on the guests staying when you stay, it could be pleasant or not so pleasant. We had a few families stay the same time we were there, so there was some yelling from kids and crying. The bathrooms were fairly clean. The lounge area was nice and the open air kitchen. The train station that takes you to Kuranda is also close by and the Cairn Central mall is...

Mike is the guy that takes care of the place and he did a really great job. Clean beds and rooms with a lot of amenities allowing for a comfortable stay even for longer durations

Location was okay, a block from the mall and about 1 km from the main street of Cairns. Plenty to do nearby during the day, at night the area is quiet. Rooms were nice with AC and fans. Only thing was the shared bathroom and toilet and made this place more of a hostel than an bed and breakfast.

Great stay Staff were amazing - good late check in advice - offered to drive me the next morning to pick up a hire car - late check out while waiting for hire car - everyone from the reception staff to yard maintenance man to the room cleaning staff were friendly and helpful

Fabulous I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the apartment with kitchen. I always look for an apartment with a bath and Tropic Towers didn’t disappoint.

This property was great value, and very spacious with a lovely little bath to soak in, while taking in the bird sounds, and the swaying palms overlooking the balcony. Close to town, but set apart from the main busy area, it was perfect for our stay, and was even better than we had imagined. Check in process was easy and seamless. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great value Really impressed, staff were delightful, place was clean. Great price for the size and facilities in the room. Not too far of a walk from groceries or restaurants. Only 20-30 min walk to the esplanade. Would recommend.

Property was in good condition for its age. Staff was kind and helpful 👌 Alittle far to walk to Esplanade central need a car. But it was good value for money

Couldn’t wish for a better apartment as it was so well-equipped, clean, furnished, had a great view from our 4th floor apartment to the sea & mountains, and the bonus was a washer & drier - free! - in the bathroom! We would highly recommend these apartments!

Bed is comfy, sheets are clean but blankets looks not washed, so we did not use it. Toilet is clean and love the shower. Facility is really old, needs updating.

A perfect place for a transfer. Fantastic service, free secure parking.

The manager was very helpful and communicated well. Neat and tidy property with terrific parking close to city

Very nice clean well equipped would stay again very comfortable beds

Great location, staff were friendly and parking was easy and secure.

Budget pricing good. Bathroom needs a good renovation. German cockroaches present.

Got economy room , only one night. Arrived late left early. Room ok, small. Had shower toilet aircon and a bed plus a jug with tea/coffee and milk, what more could you want ? Rained all night so a little noisy drip drip drip outside window.  Stay ok, will get better room next time if it’s raining. Check in/out very easy, booking easy, No problems and price was good.

Very cost-effective, complete facilities, spacious rooms, convenient transportation

I had to stay in Cairns for one night, so I chose this motel. It's not very clean, but I guess that's how it is for motels overseas.

It’s central and it’s cheap. The rooms are comfy and clean. In other words it’s exactly what it says it is. It’s nothing special but it certainly doesn’t loose any stars for that.

Great budget option for staying in Cairns. Rooms are a bit dated but still comfortable and reasonably quiet most of the time. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We arrived late in the evening after flight up from Melbourne. After hours staff were required to be contacted and assist us for an unforeseen issue. They assisted as best they could at the time. Day staff and owner Dan amazing and could not be more helpful.will definitely book in again here purely on how good the team were

Great place to stay! Has everything you need. Room was clean, pool is great and everything is a short stroll away so the environment is quiet at night. Safe and great people stay here long term. Stayed for 4 weeks and am heading back over New Year. Thanks guys.

Stayed there for 2 nights back in December 2018. Very nice play to stay while enjoying Cairns. Very budget friendly. Would recommend.

Great hostel, lovely short walk along waterfront to town. Our private room was fantastic, very quiet. Friendly helpful manager. Well equipped clean kitchens, pool lovely also. Highly recommend. 😁

A great clean place especially for the price. Staff was super friendly and you can get food vouchers athletic front desk every day! I got a private room for myself and my friend and the room was huge, and I've stayed at a few different hostels. They'd also come with an aircon as well. The showered are small, and water pressure not the greatest, but the waters hot and there's almost no one ever in there...

Nice place to stay for a few nights in Cairns. The staff is very familiar and helpful. It is very close from the city center. You can get a lot of informations about events (we have taken I diving trip). The staff had help us with our broken charger.

We were not 100% impressed with Caravella. We had a private room but for the price we wish we signed up for a hotel instead. The bathrooms and room were reasonably clean for a hostel but for $80+ per night, we should've gone for a hotel. They have a kitchen and other facilities, but we didn't really use them. The restaurant at the front, however, is really good!

I stayed here in November 2020 for a couple of weeks and I had a great time. I met amazing people, the vibes of this hostel were too good. I’m now back in cairns and wished you guys had reopened again. I would surely wanna visit this hostel again.

We loved our stay at Why Not! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and it felt like entering a big family home. The pool was gorgeous and surrounded by palm trees and lots of fairy lights giving the lounge areas a really relaxed, holiday feel. There’s plenty of space to enjoy the warm evenings and although we didn’t get a chance to try them- the burgers from Lush on-site looked amazing! All...

This place was great whilst I was there. I got here after doing slave labour (sorry... Farm work) and needed somewhere to let of steam. Got myself a beer and jug of beer for $22.00. In addition to the burger joint and bar on site there's a swimming pool, laundry facilities, free pool table and in reception you will find all the offers for things like bungee jumping, skydives, barrier reef etc. The...

I loved this place. The rooms were nothing too special, but as a whole this was one of my favorite hostels. The girl at reception was fun and energetic and it was an easy check-in. We spent some time in town, but in the evening we just hung out in the hostel and had a lot of fun. There was a trivia night and the losers had to jump in the pool and everyone else who was staying there was really chill

Great atmosphere in this hostel, ideal if you want to chill after a long trip along the East Coast! Or if you are about to start it, Ally in the travel desk is amazing to help you out! Amazing the free breakfast in the mornings and staff super cool, come stay here! The free shuttle they offer to town is super handy and I loved the pool with all the palm trees around 😍 I stayed a week here but I wish...

Easily the best hostel in Cairns! The staff are friendly and helpful, with events organised every day of the week. Free breakfast is amazing, with fresh fruit, pancakes, toast and cereal. Every second Sunday they have a pool party which gets pretty crazy, and the bar has some of the cheapest drinks in Cairns! If you’re in Cairns, stay at Calypso, you won’t regret it!!

Convenient apartment with pool. The sheets were clean and there was air conditioning in each room that only went as low as 23 degrees. The whole place could have done with a thorough clean though and at least cleaned under the beds between guests. OK place to stay.

I would recommend Tradewinds as a great place to stay. The apartments are very comfortable & very clean. The beds are great......the best nights sleep I've ever had outside my own home. The aircon is fantastic. The pool area is a great place to relax & cool off. Wayne & Linda are lovely & were very helpful & considerate to myself & my family during our stay.

Good location friendly helpful management modern fully self-contained unit with everything you need & nice big pool with shade cover

Stayed there for a week. Nice pool, good parking, close enough to the shops and town centre. Nice, clean rooms. Would stay there again. Only down side was the host. Could be a bit more accommodating. Over all quite happy.

Owner was helpful and kind, helped us book everything we wanted at a discount. Location is fantastic, clean and quiet, surrounded by restaurants and tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service, amazing views and all in the heart of a tropical lush rainforest as your backdrop. Wildlife such as kookaburras and I believe wallabies in the area were an attractive site to see. Close to quirky and lovely cafes in the quiet hub of edge hill. Attention to detail and polite service, and amazing breakfast that will make you feel full. Slightly hesitant on the drive way but plenty...

Friendly warm welcome, lovely fresh fruit, cheeses, breads fruit juices, coffees and cereals for breakfast, exceptionally clean rooms, cosy and has all you need, plunge pool, and views to die for. Lots of birds including visiting Kookaburas , peaceful location, bit only a 10 min drive into the city

Great views, a wonderful breakfast and a lovely host. There are a couple of tropical birds that come to visit the owners every day during breakfast - they just stay there, they don't bother the guests or anything. It's charming. The wi-fi is excellent, by far the best connection I've had in a trip. Recommended.

Really good property in edge hills, cairns. Hosts were really warm and curtious. Rooms were really good. All and all a great place to stay.

It was a wonderful experience staying at Kookas. Nicely tucked away from the main city, yet accessible, Kookas is nice and warm bnb with Marlies and Bruno being amazing hosts. Marlies was super helpful as she helped us with Reef bookings, and also helped us plan our day explaining the things that we could do around, and the public transport. The breakfast was really nice and delicious and they were...

At the edge hill not so many place for dinner so l recommend you to visit Chinese restaurant, if you are planning to visit the NOA at weekend better to make booking it always packed from 6 to 8 p.m.

Polite & professional staff at check in. The pool was lovely. The room was simple, but clean & had everything I needed. I would stay again.

It was quite a hassle to carry my suitcase up the stairs. There was no hotel staff at the counter, but they came right away when I rang the bell.

The shower was terrible, and the bathroom overall was barely usable.

Basic accommodation, only limited parking, therefore parking on street required.

Clean, convenient location Clean room, met my needs for an overnight stay close to the CBD.

Great location. Easy walking to beach, shops, night market and ******. Older unit but had everything we needed. Lovely helpful staff. Down side only 6 car parks. If you miss out on a car park you have to park out side on the street. I would definetly stay here again.

Location was good, weird configuration with spa right beside bed.  Pretty ordinary for cleanliness eg mould in grout in shower and tiles in room seemed to be greasy or something (you could see the imprint of your shoe).

Our room wasn’t ready at 3pm so they moved us . The room was not very clean, very outdated, some rubbish under the bed, looked like a blood stain or 2 on the shower curtain, 2 sachets of coffee, dessert spoons for teaspoons, nearly moved rebooked but due to a very early medical appointment just around the corner - we stayed.  Will not stay here again.

A basic hotel but has enough for a few days. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and happy to help. The rooms are a little outdated but it didn’t affect our stay, just know that it is not a luxury stay by any means but it is enough and the rooms are equipped with a microwave and kettle which is handy when travelling!

Molds on Walls and ceiling, AC outlet sockets are so limited. One on the top of fridge basically cannot be used if you are using a bigger plug or device. No other sockets close to the bed for charging phones at all.. Good thing is hot water is good..

I always enjoy staying here, when needing accommodation this is one of my first options. Staff are always friendly and helpful, parking on the property and the hotel isn't massive so you don't have far to walk to and from to unload/pack the car which for me is a big plus! Rooms are ALWAYS clean can't fault them.

Average cleaning, the balcony should be a part of the room to be cleaned too. The room was fine ,the spring mattress I usually don’t like was fine to sleep on. Disappointed that I found a dirty bad matt in the bathroom cupboard,so instead we use a extra towel on the floor. Pest Control on the rooms should be good as we had a cockroach in the bathroom and ant in the tea /coffee cupboard. Otherwise...

Great location in walking distance to the heart of Cairns and the staff were super helpful and accommodating. Could highly recommend!

If location is what you are looking for this place is great. Very central and convenient to everything. The room was a good size and itnwas great having a separate bedroom and lounge area. But like most reviews we read before booking, it is in need of a freshen up, even just some better quality linen and towels would be an improvement. The staff we meet were friendly and helpful. It's not the best...

Great hostel. Rooms with comfortable beds and plenty of space to store your belongings. New and well-maintained bathrooms. The common areas are excellent, with a large kitchen and a stunning rooftop balcony right above the lagoon. Great value for money.

The room was very clean and tidy when we arrived, the kitchen is cleaned every day and there is so much space in the kitchen. When we arrived our bags were lost on our flight so we had nothing. The lady behind reception was so helpful and let us go through lost and found and take anything we needed, she then washed and dried this for us free of charge. From having a very stressful day to being put...

First of all crazy good location. This is right where you want to be in Cairns When taking in consideration that this is a hostel it is very good. We had a private room with bathroom for 2 nights Very clean and modern, with great Wi-Fi connection. The hostel also had special deals at local bars and restaurants. We got a coupon for dinner and a drink for 12$ at the local Irish pub. And here we are...

I had an overall good experience at this hostel but the rooms were uncomfortably warm & damp. Not sure if that reflects an issue with the ventilation/air conditioning on 1st floor or it's just the reality of living in the tropics in general, but it greatly affected the quality of my sleep. At the very least, it would be helpful to prohibit the use of strongly scented perfumes in the dorm rooms and...

Excellent location. No pool but directly across from the lagoon. Quite clean, lots of bathrooms. Not a lot of common spaces but the kitchen and lounge with the balcony were excellent. Despite being the only kitchen it never got too busy. The wifi didn’t work very well in the evenings. The dorms desperately need shelves or large lockers. No baggage fits under the bed and it was cramped with bags spread...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience at Jacks Cairns, and I especially want to thank Harriet Trifonos and Matthias for making my time here unforgettable. Harriet was incredible—she explained everything so clearly for a first-timer like me in Cairns and made me feel welcome straight away. She has a real gift for making people from all different nationalities and cultural backgrounds feel at home...

I stayed here for a week and I had a great stay. The management and staff were very helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean and a good size. The WiFi was strong in the room which is always helpful, the location is good as you’re right in the heart of the CBD. My only negative was the loud music next door in the club especially at the weekend which messed my sleeping pattern up a fair bit. But all...

I didn't stay here but the pub is around the corner from my hotel. Food is reasonably priced and delicious. T-bone specoal.on tuesdays is a bargain. Staff are very friendly and food is quick. Different seating areas for different tastes. Staff need to learn about wine (I had to explain to a bartender that she wouldn't find Shiraz in the bar fridge and that Cabernet Sauvignon is a type of wine).

Lots of people but still spacious and clean. Nice kitchen and wrap around porch with dinner tables. Bar downstairs, not too loud but you should still bring ear plugs if you want to sleep early.

What can we say about the Jack? My friend and I have stayed here on many occasions and we can’t express how wonderful the staff have been to us every time. The manager Harriet has been so accommodating to us she is an absolute star! The reason why we keep coming back is mainly due to the wonderful service we’ve received. The facilities are clean and the kitchen is cleaned daily. Being new to backpacking...

It is a very friendly and lively hostel and you settle in very quickly, especially the lady at the reception is nice and helpful if you have questions about tour offers and all about Cairns! Very good food offers in the restaurant which also change daily and are very tasty! There are also good musicians at the weekend at the bar the mood really brightens up! The hostel is highly recommended! Cheers...

We stayed with my friends one night and everything was so good. It was our last day before returning the van we rented and the staff treated us really well although the mess we made with it. Also excellent facilities and very friendly people staying. Literally the best hostel I went in Australia, deeply recommend it.

Really comfortable stay, the hotel manager Kevin made my time there really pleasant. There's a good self service breakfast that got my day started. This was also one of the cheapest stays I could find too. Clean tidy, and the wifi worked nicely. Highly recommended

A really awesome hostel!! What a vibe. They got a really good common area and very fast free Internet. Also the showers and toilets were by far the cleanest I've ever seen them in any hostel I've visited so far in Australia. It might be a bit further from the center but they have a pendle bus going multiple times a day to the centre and back.

Credit to the staff and cleaners of JJ's backpacker hostel. A weekly rate was very affordable. It is very nice to be in a well represented hostel that's friendly as well as being our home away from home. Breakfast is free too. The rooms are very clean, toilet, kitchen,and if you are going to the city, there is a bus available instead of getting a taxi cost you so much. At the same time it's a short...

Kevin the owner is fantastic, close to town and the airport. A bit noisy if you're an early sleeper but not bad. Decent rates.

Cheap, and has everything you can expect from a camp site like this. Fantastic spot if you're going to Cairns.
