Pullman Reef Hotel Casino ★★★★★
"The hotel and casino is still impressive and the staff were friendly and helpful. For the price the rooms are quite dated and for complementary parking to not be included in the booking price was a little disappointing. The bed was very comfortable, overall a nice stay, would stay again."

Pacific Hotel Cairns ★★★★
"The location is excellent — just a 5-minute walk from the terminal where all the trips leave and only 5 minutes from the night market. I did have an issue with my first room: it was right next to the A/C compressor and the noise made it impossible to sleep. After I complained, the staff helped me move to another room, but I was disappointed that they seemed aware of the problem and only acted once someone complained."

DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns ★★★★
"Hotel location is on the Esplanade within walking distance to restos, markets and the reef terminal. Hotel pool is nice, overlooking the water. Staff gave us cookies and wine. The room we got (guest king) was on the second floor with a partial view of the water. Room was quite basic, small size but clean."
