Cairns Harbourside Hotel ★★★★
"The location and the staff's service were particularly good. Most of the tourist spots like Cairns Central Station and the Esplanade are about a 20-30 minute walk away. The hotel's front desk staff were also all very warm and friendly. It was a great help that they would fill up my water bottle at the hotel bar if I had one."
Crystalbrook Riley ★★★★★
"The environment is excellent, and the pool is great."
YHA Cairns Central ★★★
"The instructions for late check-in were very clear. The room was clean and relatively quiet. The location is right in the city center, making it convenient to get everywhere. The atmosphere was also good."
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.
Crystalbrook Flynn ★★★★★
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.
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."
Cairns City Palms ★★★
"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms could be a bit cleaner and are showing their age. Free coffee and juices were provided at breakfast."
Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns ★★★★★
Perfectly situated on the waterfront, this premier luxury hotel boasts unbeatable panoramic views of the Marlin Marina and offers direct access to the Great Barrier Reef departure terminals.
Alivio Hotel Cairns ★★★★
"Nice stay!"

The Benson Hotel
"Quite Central to where you need to be in Cairns. At first sight, the hotel looked quite crusty externally but the room (and interior) were fine. Breakfast was rather delicious. Pool looked ok but don’t actually go in as there was little cover from the sun i.e. additional deck chair umbrellas. Had to haggle for a late check-out (from 10am to 11am) but in the end, after using reason and logic, we got there… Overall a good experience"
Trinity Links Resort
"We had a wonderful stay, and it all started with Ashley at reception. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and took care of everything for us from the moment we arrived. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Anytime we needed anything, Ashley was our go-to and she always made it happen. She really helped make our stay great. Ashley is a great example of excellent customer service, and we truly appreciated everything she did for us."
Palm Royale Cairns
"Amazing stay"
Cairns Southgate Hotel
"If I could give it a zero I would. This hotel is a scam. Please do not stay here. This hotel was booked on my family's behalf in town for a funeral and knowing what I know now I wouldn't let my dogs stay here let alone book and give them money front up. No right-minded person would. My stay at the hotel was extremely disappointing. The rooms and hallways had a strong odor of cigarettes and pot. The bedding was dirty and had no protection and only had sheets on them, and the towels had stains on them. The carpets were stained and sticky, and the bathroom was moldy and had dead insects. It felt like there were permanent residents living in the hotel which didnt feel safe. The room was not in good condition, with damaged and worn furniture adding to the poor ambiance. We found a ladies' handbag in a drawer with personal belongings, which made us question the cleanliness of this room.Other family staying in differnt room had the same issues. After spending less than a minute in the room, we decided not to stay. Unfortunately, reception was closed, and we had to wait until the next day to lodge our complaint with managment. Even then, the after-hours staff could only pass on our concerns, leaving us without any solution at the time and no where to stay. In reading the ACCC regulations our booking falls under a major fault. Despite demanding a refund, we have yet to receive one even after a week of correspondence and both the hotle and Wotif say we are entitled to a refund for our 3 days booking. I have escalated the matter to various consumer protection agencies, including the health department, Consumer Affairs Ombudsman, Fair Trading Office, and our bank. We are even exploring legal options. I refused to let them keep my $371 for a room that was moldy, dirty, and unsafe, especially considering the potential health hazards to my family. For your own safety and comfort, I would advise against staying at this hotel. This place is a SCAM."
Motel Nomad
"It's all okay. Great stay. Quiet and full kitchen amenities. We enjoyed our stay."
