Great
MM15358****A decent five-star hotel. The room was spacious and even had a balcony, perfect for enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. It's located right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere – Cairns itself is quite small, so you can easily walk to most places. A taxi from the airport to the hotel was around 25 AUD.

JJ小米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.

SSuperDave37⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5‑Star Review: Pacific Hotel Cairns
We had an excellent stay at Pacific Hotel Cairns. Max at the front desk was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful from the moment we arrived. Mila was also wonderful and made us feel very welcome.
Our room was clean, spacious, and brightly lit, with a comfortable layout and a balcony that opened to lovely views. The location couldn’t be better: easy walking distance to major tour departure points, the Esplanade, and many great restaurants. The convenience of a self‑service laundry room was another big plus during our travels.
Overall, this hotel delivered comfort, convenience, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cairns.

Ssolo travellerEverything about this hotel is exceptional. The only downside was the room that I was given was on the top floor and the noise from either some sort of pump or the outside unit of the air condition was so overwhelming that I couldn't sleep well all night.

NNathan MorganStaff were friendly and offered a good service, pool was too warm, minor I know, but when it’s 32deg and 90% humidity It matters. Our aircon leaked but the staff sorted it out quickly and no further issues.

GGuest UserFront counter were friendly and accommodating. Location was close to everything.
Facilities and grounds were well kept. Just didn’t like having to take used towels down and hand them to reception and exchange for clean ones.

GGuest UserI will review from a Japanese perspective. Stayed in early May.
Pros
- Great location
- All the front desk staff are kind
- The barbecue set that you can borrow for free includes many types of tongs, oil, salt, and pepper
- Soft toilet paper
- Many types of coffee and tea are available. There is also milk in the refrigerator
- A wide variety of bathroom amenities such as shampoo and moisturizing balm
- The bathtub is large. The hot water comes out quickly, so you can fill it up quickly
- Drinking water is provided at the front desk, so it was nice that I didn't have to buy it separately
The information I wanted was not clearly stated in advance
(It would have been even better if the following issues had been resolved, but overall I was very satisfied.)
- No pajamas or bathrobes
- No microwave
- No knives or tableware included in the barbecue set (I bought steak meat, but I didn't have a knife and couldn't bite it)
- No spray-type deodorant

CcalifragileThe room facilities are relatively old and the lights are dim.
Slippers and toothbrushes are not provided. Shower gel and shampoo are of poor quality.
The room was on the first floor and there was noise. It should be the sound of the air conditioner engine or other machinery.
The breakfast is simple and does not provide the delicacies of various countries. It only has bread, fruits and some drinks.
A separate deposit of 50 AUD is required upon check-in, or 100 AUD in cash.
