Cairns Hotels with Wifi

The room was quite clean, and the shower had great water pressure, which made for a very comfortable shower experience. The sofa in the room, paired with a small table, was perfect for reading or having tea, very relaxing. The soundproofing could be better, but overall, it was quite good, and the facilities were very new.

This hotel was the best I stayed at during my trip to Australia. Although the overall exterior of the hotel looks a bit old, it's still fantastic. The location is the best, right by the bay in Cairns. When you open the window, the fresh sea breeze washes over you, and you can see the coconut trees swaying outside from your bed. I never wanted to come inside when sitting on the balcony every day. The room facilities are also quite complete, although the bed is a bit soft. It would be perfect if it were a little firmer. The hotel's breakfast restaurant is on the first floor, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window while having breakfast. There's a wide variety of breakfast options, and the egg burrito is delicious. If I come to Cairns again, I will definitely choose Hilton Cairns again.

This was my first time staying here. Our room was directly above the terrace, so we could hear the lively chatter, which actually added to the travel experience in a fun way. I was a bit worried the noise might keep me from sleeping, but every night around 10 PM, it quieted down, and I was able to rest peacefully. I highly recommend buying groceries from the nearby supermarket and enjoying a meal on the terrace. Also, you can walk to the seaside promenade in about 10 minutes. It’s a safe location for a solo early morning stroll.

The room was spacious and well-equipped with a microwave, cutlery, and a fridge. It's super close to both the ferry terminal and Cairns train station. There's a breakfast spot right opposite the hotel and a supermarket nearby, perfect for grabbing bread to heat up in the microwave. The front desk staff were really helpful, even assisting us with booking a taxi. The laundry facilities were fantastic, with large washing machines and dryers. Just a heads-up, the hotel doesn't provide slippers or toothbrushes, so remember to bring your own!

Super hostel! It has everything you need: shower, kitchen, pool, storage room, etc. The special beds offer a lot of privacy, plus they come with a fan, light, and power outlet. I highly recommend it; the staff are very friendly.

I accidentally booked this hotel and found out it was non-cancellable when I tried to cancel, so I had no choice but to stay. Overall, it was okay; the room was a bit small but quite tidy and clean. The front desk staff were very friendly. The restaurant was under renovation during our stay, so we were given vouchers to have breakfast at the hotel across the street. Clearly, for an extra AUD$80 a day, we could have stayed somewhere much better. The hotel hallways had no air conditioning and were very stuffy and hot. However, there was a free coffee machine downstairs with complimentary coffee. The swimming pool looked dirty though, and no one was using it. The location is a bit far from the Reef Terminal, about a 17-minute walk.

The staff were incredibly friendly. Also, I felt very secure and at ease knowing that a card key was required to enter both the hotel entrance and the rooms, which is a great security feature. The $10 dinner at the attached pub, which was pizza when I went, had a crispy crust and was absolutely delicious – I was extremely satisfied.

The hotel isn't in the city center; it's located along the main road. Check-in was remote – they sent us a code for the main door and a safe containing our key. The rooms are a bit dated, and the cleanliness isn't top-notch, but overall it's okay. In the bathroom, the shower door was wobbly. Regarding breakfast, the hotel description states that vouchers are only for weekends, but in reality, they're available every day. Perhaps this is just for the winter period, I'm not sure. They provide AUD 20 per person for breakfast at a neighboring building. And let me tell you, that breakfast is divine! It's an à la carte menu, and we tried many things over three days, and everything was delicious. Of course, we paid extra, but it wasn't a huge amount. One day it was AUD 11, another day AUD 15, and for the one in the photo, AUD 24. Water is complimentary, coffee is AUD 6 – so you can definitely stay within budget if you skip the coffee. Also, behind the café building, there's a laundry service where you can wash and dry your clothes. It's AUD 6 per wash or dry. Nearby, there's a 'Night Owl' convenience store that was open when we arrived late, and a pizzeria next to it was also open, so you won't go hungry. The room really could have used a microwave. There was crockery, but we had to wash it in the bathroom sink, and no dish sponges were provided.

The hotel's location is in the city center. My flight arrived early, so I took an Uber from the airport for AU$30 (it can be as cheap as AU$20 during off-peak hours), arriving at the hotel around 12:00 PM. The front desk informed me that check-in wasn't possible until after 2:00 PM, which is standard policy. However, I was also told that luggage storage wasn't free and would cost AU$6 to use a locker. I've stayed at many hotels where luggage storage is complimentary for guests, so this charging policy felt quite unfriendly. Thankfully, I didn't have much luggage, so I just took it with me to grab some food before coming back to check in. After checking in, I noticed other issues: 1. The Wi-Fi signal was very weak, almost non-existent during the day (it was sometimes usable at night). When I asked the front desk, they said there was nothing they could do. I ended up using my China Mobile data (capped at 30 RMB/day, which was acceptable). There was a router-like device in the room, but the front desk said it was only for connecting the phone and not related to the internet. 2. The bathroom sink faucet was too low, so I had to use the showerhead to fill the electric kettle. 3. The toilet seat was installed at an awkward angle and wouldn't stay up on its own; you had to hold it, which was quite strange. 4. The door's soundproofing wasn't very good; I could hear people talking in the corridor late at night. On the positive side: The staff tried their best to provide good service, but the issues with the hardware were beyond their control. Although the hotel equipment was a bit old, the room was spacious with a private bathroom. The in-room facilities were quite comprehensive, with multiple USB charging ports (which are not common in Australian hotels). The room was also clean, tidy, and quiet. After 6:00 PM daily, a password was required to enter the main hotel door, which felt secure. Directly opposite the hotel, across the road, was a Woolworths supermarket (6:00 AM - 10:00 PM), and there were plenty of dining options nearby. Most departure points for Great Barrier Reef day trips at the Reef Fleet Terminal were a 10-minute walk away. The hotel's greatest asset is its location, followed by its relatively cheap price and spacious rooms with private bathrooms. Despite these various issues, personally, I might still choose to stay at Hides again next time I'm in Cairns.

Photo's are misleading...makes the joint look lovely! The accommodation was cheap....because cleanliness obviously was not high on the agenda for this Motel!! Numerous cockroaches seen, looks as if a drink has been thrown at the wall and the pathetic little blinds next to the main entrance...??? A few missing so anybody walking past could easily look through the window!
