3-Star Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Only complaint is the location, because buses to Brisbane center has long waiting time. Though it forces this hikikomori to walk more along the beautiful river coast. It is advisable to rent a vehicle beforehand. Also there seems not to be convenience store/supermarket nearby. As for amenities, there is laundry + dryer (AUD 4 + 4) and shared kitchen. But there are no towel, slipper, toothbrush/shaver/shampoo/body wash, so remember to bring your own.

The room was very clean, which was great. I had to leave early in the morning this time, so I didn't get to have breakfast. As a solo female traveler, having the toilets and showers on the same floor as the men made me feel a little uneasy. In particular, I was concerned about the large gap at the bottom of the shower room door, making it visible from the outside. I thought it was great that it was close to the station, but since the train service was infrequent, I ended up taking a taxi. (I wish I had looked into that beforehand.)

This apartment faces out to the ocean, it has great views from every room, the apartment is old and not modern, but if you’re looking for a reasonably priced beach front apartment with a great location, and free onsite parking, then this is the one.

I recently stayed at Hides Hotel during a trip to Cairns and was pleasantly surprised by the value and charm this heritage-style hotel offers. The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of the Esplanade, night markets, Reef Fleet Terminal, and plenty of restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re heading out for a reef tour or just exploring the local area, Hides is a super convenient base. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed, including air-conditioning (a must in Cairns!), a small fridge, and free Wi-Fi. The building itself has an old-school character that’s a bit different from your typical chain hotels, which I actually really liked—it feels like you’re staying somewhere with history. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, happy to give recommendations and assist with bookings. There’s also a lovely wide veranda on the upper level, which is a great spot to relax in the evening and take in the atmosphere of the city. Only downside was that the hotel is a bit dated in places, and depending on the room you’re in, you might hear a bit of street noise—but that’s to be expected in a central location like this. Overall, Hides Hotel is a great choice for budget-conscious travelers who want clean, central, no-fuss accommodation with character. I’d definitely consider staying again.

We arrived by train and although the hotel is very close to the station the signage is pathetic and leads to a parking... it's very ambiguous... finally we reached the hotel entrance by rolling our cases along the road trying to avoid the cars!!! The check in is not great and not as friendly as other hotels in the World, just because it is automated and sometimes completely UNATTENDED... For the price the reception should be manned and NOT AUTOMATED... where is the WELCOMING SMILE in a machine???

Lovely clean old Queensland building in a great location, With a relaxed atmosphere , sit out on the front porch and watch the city start to wake up. Will definitely be staying again.

Location is not too bad. Situated a 15 minute walk away from the waters and main restaurant area. Situated on a main road but quiet at night. They let us put down our luggage when we couldn’t check in yet and leave it there after we’d checked out and waited for our flight. The young female receptionist was very helpful and nice.

I was booking at trip.com, but I was likely to be pulled down by a bank card without confirming at check-in. When I told you that I had already finished payment many times, I finally went to the back room to confirm. There is also a casino on the first floor and it is noisy with the explosion until midnight. Although it was due to heavy rain, the floor of the room was soaked and all the bags were wet.

Excellent Hotel with Great Location and Staff! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic: just a 3-minute walk from the railway station, and close to the embankment, the city hall, and many shops and cafes. My standard room was spacious and quiet with a courtyard view. The reception staff were very friendly and efficiently solved any questions we had. A great addition is the very cozy bar-pub on the first floor – perfect for a snack, a drink, or meeting friends. Highly recommended!

Super standard aparthotel located close to Central Station. Free luggage storage was helpful. There's a cafe downstairs but looking just okay.  I only stayed one night but somehow they put ten black tea bags and ten coffee bags in my room ... I took it as the hotel's generosity
