DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns
"It was a lovely stay. Staff are friendly. The room is spacious but the toilet is pretty small and confined. A welcome cookie (even heated!) at check in is delicious 😋"
YHA Cairns Central
"I had a lovely stay — the staff were really friendly and chatted with guests, which made everything feel warm and welcoming. I happened to be there on my birthday, and the front desk wished me a happy birthday at check‑in — such a nice, thoughtful touch that made my day. It was also convenient that drinks and ice cream were available at the front desk. Overall, a pleasant experience and I’d happily stay again."

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort
"The breakfast was decent with a wide western selection and a small asian section, the kids loved the nutella machine! There's waffles and pan cakes and also a salad bar. The bread selection was quite good too and a virgin blood mary!"
Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
"This was my second time staying at this hotel. The first was a much better experience. It seems it all depends on the room. This time we got room 101, on the corner of the building and next to the entrance gate and more importantly, next to a street intersection. It was quite noisy all night as trucks and busses accelerate from the intersection. I asked the desk clerk when we checked in if we could have a different room and he refused, even though other rooms were available. I couldn't quite figure out his reasoning. Anyway, this room also sufferers from a very weak air conditioner and is a little smaller than the last room we got (room 119). Basically, the hotel is fine, but your experience may differ based on the specific room."
The Espy Hostel
"The staff was kind and the room condition was good i really love thi s place"

Mumma's Hostel Cairns
"I have arrived past 10, but it wasn't a problem as the reception is open until 12 am. Staff was friendly and helpful, everything was clean and it was quite (Friday night). Good location, close to everything. It's about 20 $ from the airport with Uber. Free basic breakfast (toast with condiments, cereals). I would stay again, and I'm not usually a hostel type, let alone shared dorms"
Hilton Cairns
"I really enjoyed my trip to the Hilton. I had great room service and a really lovely comfortable stay and the best sleep I’d had in ages. There was a lovely tropical garden in the foyer outside my room."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
"Relaxing stay beautiful view"
Cairns City Palms
"It’s a really nice place to stay with family. We booked two bedroom suite and it was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We used laundry facilities as well. A word of caution - dryer permanent press cycle makes clothing really really hot - don’t burn yourself. They have complimentary coffee and sometimes little muffins as well. Our flight out of Cairns got cancelled and so I emailed to request a room for extra night, but didn’t get response so booked another hotel. It’s far from the coast, board walk etc but close to one of Indian restaurants in town."
Cairns Central Plaza Apartment Hotel Official
"Very good location room big enough for couple"
Gilligan‘s Backpackers Hotel & Resort
"Friendly Staff. Affordable Rooms. Next to bar & Grill. In the heart of Cairns."
Palm Royale Cairns
"I want to thank the staff for their great service. After taking a shower and spending a couple of hours in my room, the guests in another room close to mine were very noisy, shouting at each other and causing a lot of disturbance. I called the reception to make a complaint and within minutes the staff shifted me to another room apologising for the inconvenience. I know that you can't get the perfect guests that you would like to but the fact that they promptly resolved my problem is really commendable and everything else about this accommodation is fantastic."
Motel Nomad
"Very Good 👍🏻"
Cairns Southgate Hotel
"I've never seen a hotel like this in my life, cockroaches in the kitchen drawer dead, cigarette butts on the balcony, rude manager, shower that drips 24 hours a day, no room service, the environment smells bad. Vice will complain about you and treat you very badly, it seems like you are the one doing him a favor and are here paying. Horrible "
