Cairns Harbourside Hotel ★★★★

"Excellent hotel with an excellent buffet breakfast. Definitely get a sea view room. We loved waking up to the amazing view. We like walking so we purposely didn’t stay right in the city or on the marina, it was a half hr walk to either as you are right in the middle."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel ★★★★
"It was great! The service was excellent, with room service every day. The bed was also very comfortable. It's very close to the airport, only a $25 taxi ride away. And the beach is right outside the door!"

"This is a very new hotel in Cairns, and the location is quite convenient since Cairns is so small that everything is within walking distance. The only downside is the bed is a bit small, but I would still consider staying here again."

Hilton Cairns ★★★★★
"Before coming here, I stayed at a business hotel in Taiwan, and it was a bit disappointing that the breakfast menu didn't change much. The location here was convenient, and the pool was easy to use. However, the room felt old, and there was rust in various places. On the positive side, many staff members spoke Japanese, and the signs were also written in Japanese."

Hotel Tropiq ★★★
"Dated but well kept. Pool and BBQ although I didn't use them were a good facility. Location middle of Cairns meant I could walk everywhere easily and on the level.....even the airport was in my walking range at 5.4 km. Staff were excellent and the management Excellent and able to resolve all issues I had with onward travels and other countries online travel document requirements, which is so helpful to an older less technical traveller like me.👍 Mervyn"

Pullman Cairns International ★★★★★
"The hotel is beautiful and very close to the airport. Since there's no public bus from Cairns Airport to the city center, most people use Uber, so being close is a definite advantage. The view from the room's balcony is fantastic; sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, you can take in the harbor, green mountains, and blue sea – perfect for soaking up that unique, relaxed vacation vibe. It feels like both travel and living. The room itself is very spacious, and the bathroom vanity has a long countertop, perfect for beauty enthusiasts to spread out all their skincare and makeup, making everything easily accessible. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the Cairns Night Markets, the public Esplanade Lagoon, and the Esplanade. It's truly the best choice for accommodation in Cairns!"
