Pacific Hotel Cairns ★★★★
Boasting a fantastic central location directly opposite the Reef Fleet Terminal, this contemporary hotel treats guests to stunning harbour views and exceptional Brazilian dining at its on-site restaurant.
Crystalbrook Riley ★★★★★
"The room layout was cozy, and the room service was quite good. The pool was beautiful, and the food was also nice. The hotel is within walking distance of the city center. On a side note: avoid the trendy pasta restaurant Vila Romana (pictured in Figure 4). We're from Melbourne, and they thought we were tourists from China. An old man who spoke some Chinese kept trying to rip us off and was vague about wanting a tip. Figure 3, IMM Thai Cafe, was delicious; we ate there three times, haha."
Alivio Hotel Cairns ★★★★
"Have to say the best thing for this hotel is its room size, Huge! And water pressure is good. But pain point is really clear, the WIFI is not working in my room (bad signal), I can only sit in lounge/bar area at the ground floor to get WiFi."
Cairns Colonial Club Resort ★★★★
"Really liked it here. Food options are just a kilometer's drive away."
Cairns City Palms ★★★
"Nothing out of the ordinary, not exceptional but not bad either. Good service."
Crystalbrook Bailey ★★★★★
This modern, art-inspired hotel showcases vibrant local artwork throughout its sustainable luxury spaces, offering a creative and eco-conscious stay just a short walk from the waterfront.
YHA Cairns Central ★★★
"Good people good mood good place good feeling nice lifestyle"
Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort ★★★★
"The music was still blaring past 11 PM, and the poor soundproofing kept me awake. Around 7 AM, someone knocked on the door to deliver a baby seat, even though I wasn't traveling with a baby and hadn't requested this service. I was woken up early in the morning, only to receive a flimsy 'sorry' with no further compensation."
DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns ★★★★
"The hotel is quite old, so the facilities are also dated. We were initially given a room on the third floor that smelled musty, but thankfully, they moved us to a better room the next day. The room itself was spacious, and the cleanliness was acceptable. Breakfast was just okay. I did like the hotel's tropical rainforest-style environment. I booked a sea-view balcony room, but all we got were rooms with a side view of the ocean. The Western restaurant on the first floor was good, and as a Hilton member, I received a 15% discount."

A chic and social luxury hotel that embodies a lively, energetic spirit, offering glass-panel pool views and trendy dining spots right on the bustling Esplanade.
Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns
"The hotel is a but old, but good enough considering the cheaper price."
Cairns Plaza Hotel
"Great location, clean room everything’s perfect 👍🏼 it’s worth money. Comfortable stay. Recommend"
Hilton Cairns
"The hotel is quite dated, but it has all the essential amenities. We arrived at 11 AM to pre-check-in. We were exhausted from daylight saving time kicking in that morning and catching an early flight, so we asked the front desk if an early check-in was possible, but we were refused. Later, Trip.com helped coordinate with the hotel, and right after finishing lunch, we got a notification that the room was ready—Trip.com came through! The hotel is located near the pier, making it super convenient for taking a boat the next day—just a 3-minute walk. The front desk upgraded our room, and the view was fantastic; opening the balcony door let in the lovely sea breeze. We paid extra for breakfast the next day, which was average overall, but since there are no other hot breakfast options nearby, walking to McDonald's takes about 7-8 minutes. The room is a bit old and the maintenance of the facilities is just so-so, but it comes with an electric kettle and coffee machine, and the hot water in the bathroom is very fast. All in all, Hilton Cairns is a pretty good hotel! Except that prices in Cairns are really expensive..."

The Reef Hotel Casino Cairns - Handwritten Collection
"The service was terrible. They rushed us to check out at 11 AM as if we owed them a fortune."
Park Regis Hotel Cairns
"The room is spacious with a kitchen and laundry facilities. The location is also great. Highly recommend it!"
Cairns Sheridan Hotel
"I booked this hotel for my manager during a recent business trip and received very positive feedback. The hotel offered excellent value for money, with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location. While it may not be as modern as some of the larger hotels in Cairns, it provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. My manager particularly appreciated the overall comfort and convenience of the property, especially considering the reasonable room rate. Based on the feedback received, this hotel represents great value for money and I would happily book it again for future business travel."
The Benson Hotel
"Great service, good location, and a spacious room. The deposit was refunded to my Visa card just three days after check-out, which was a nice touch."
Mantra Trilogy
"Mantra Trilogy is in a wonderful location. The room was nice, however the fridge in my room kept buzzing on and off which made it hard to fall asleep. Otherwise, a comfortable stay and I will be happy to return!"
Hotel Tropiq
Showcasing a relaxed, mid-century tropical design, this boutique hotel features a stunning resort-style pool area that serves as an oasis for budget-conscious travellers.
Cairns Southgate Hotel
"The facilities are excellent and the service is top-notch!"
Cairns City Apartments
"The location is excellent, with shopping malls nearby. If you want to take the rainforest train, the train station is a 6-minute walk away. However, the living environment and facilities are relatively outdated."
Palm Royale Cairns
"The hotel service was excellent, and the staff's attitude was very good. I was also extremely satisfied with the hotel's facilities, such as the swimming pool, and the billiards and electronic piano in the activity room, which provided entertainment during my free time. However, it would be even better if the hotel had a gym."
