Cairns Hotels with Breakfast

Although the hotel has been open for a while, the rooms are well-maintained and don't look old or dated. It's only about a 5-minute walk to the Reef Fleet Terminal, which is really convenient for taking a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef – you can even sleep in a bit longer in the morning! Since breakfast wasn't included with the room, we added it for two days when we checked in. It was around $40-something per person. I have to say, the breakfast was pretty mediocre, both in terms of variety and taste. Even the tables and chairs weren't as well-kept as the rooms; the chair I sat on was wobbly. Overall, the hotel is pretty good. The location is convenient, and the rooms are comfortable. There's a decent Italian restaurant on the way to the terminal too.

I didn't expect to find such a great value hotel in Cairns! There were five of us, and we stayed for four days. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was incredibly rich and varied. The swimming pool downstairs was also fantastic, and they even had a hot tub. If I ever get the chance to visit again, I'd definitely choose this hotel.

Great location, just across the road from the beachfront promenade. I really loved the modern, minimalist style of the hotel. However, room cleaning needs improvement. The Asian woman at the front desk was very cold and gave me a low-floor room, claiming all rooms were full. Later, I realized that Asian guests were generally assigned to lower floors. 😤

Great pool, very clean , excellent breakfast , yummy cocktails , dinner was amazing.  Only one thing bad was the pool sun lounges, the are very uncomfortable I had to sit in a bean bag.  Just to add gluten free eating for coeliacs was great seperate toaster for breaky and freshly cooked eggs and bacon on request. Very happy !!

I had a lovely stay at Mercure Cairns. The hotel was in a great location, making it easy to get around the city and explore nearby attractions. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for a short getaway. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cairns who is looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay.

We stayed here for a couple of nights. The staff were very welcoming and always willing to help with anything, which was a real positive — truly 5-star service from the team. Unfortunately, the housekeeping was disappointing. Some cups in the room had lipstick marks on them, and the shower gel bottles appeared to be mostly filled with water rather than gel, although this was rectified immediately after mentioning this to the reception. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk into town. There is also a bus stop near the hospital with a bus running roughly every hour. The hotel provides a shuttle service to the center, but it only operates at 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 4:00 PM, and 4:30 PM, so the schedule is somewhat limited. There aren’t many dining options nearby other than the hotel restaurant, and the food there was not particularly good. Your best option is to head into town, where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The hotel itself feels quite dated and could benefit from renovations. For example, the hairdryer was broken, the sink was cracked, and the shower looked old and worn. On the positive side, the sheets and towels were clean, and pool/beach towels are provided. The pool/Jacuzzi is clean. Overall, I would recommend staying here and an very happy with my stay.

Overall, I'm very satisfied. Hygiene: I booked the hotel for a total of 4 nights. The first night, it wasn't a sea-view room, but the room was quite spacious, and the large bed was comfortable enough. However, I kept feeling like the pillows had an odor, perhaps due to foreigners' body odor. I eventually called service and had all four pillows replaced, which helped a bit and I was able to sleep. On the second day, I paid an additional 80 AUD to upgrade to a sea-view room. In the end, I really felt it was worth booking a sea-view room; the visual impact and experience are so important. Plus, perhaps because of the sunlight, the room felt fresh and smelled pleasant. You know what I mean, haha. Location: The hotel is located in the heart of Cairns. Right outside, you'll find the ticket center for boat tours, making it super convenient to get your tickets and head straight to the pier. The night market and the Esplanade are just a short walk away. I was particularly surprised and impressed that the bus was free, haha. Facilities: The hotel was very thoughtful and human-centric, providing four bath towels in the bathroom. These were perfect for taking with us when we went out on a boat trip!

Great location, within walking distance to the pier and surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants. The room was spacious, and although the facilities were a bit dated, it was clean. Free parking was a huge plus.

Great hotel at a great price. Big, clean room with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and garden. The pool was also great and refreshing. Walking distance to all restaurants and major shops. They make good coffee in the hotel bar too! They don’t clean your room for stays of less than 7 nights, but we were able to get clean towels daily if we wanted them. Friendly staff and overall a great home for us while we visited Cairns!

The facilities are too poor. I live on the first floor and found that the blinds were not closed tightly at night, so all the light leaked in. The lights in the yard were so bright that I couldn't sleep all night.
