Hotels in Cairns tend to be a bit on the pricier side, which is to be expected for a tourist city. This one is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk from the reef departure terminal, and there's a large chain supermarket nearby. The room was also quite clean.

Mixed Experience – Great Location, Poor Internet & Breakfast Setup The hotel is in a great location, and the room itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Facilities like the car park and lifts were well maintained and met expectations. However, as business travellers, the internet connection was a major letdown. The hotel appears to rely on a hotspot system, which was extremely unreliable—slow speeds and constant disconnections all weekend. Streaming services such as Netflix were unusable, and even basic browsing was frustrating. To make matters worse, the remote control had nearly dead batteries and worked intermittently. We were also disappointed with the rest and breakfast experience. After early starts each day, we were hoping for some quiet downtime in the afternoon, but this was hard to enjoy given the other issues. The weekend breakfast arrangement felt misleading. Instead of onsite breakfast, we received a $20 per person voucher to a nearby café. While the café was pleasant, it only opened at 7:30 am on weekends—not ideal when you're starting work at 6:30–7:00 am. And realistically, $20 doesn’t go far at most cafés these days, so it felt like a cost-cutting workaround rather than a genuine breakfast offering. On a positive note, Clara at reception on Saturday was professional and kind—she did her best to assist, though unfortunately there wasn’t much she could do. It seemed like her manager may have been present but avoided getting involved, which was disappointing given the situation.

This place is great for families with kids, boasting a playground, a swimming pool, and a restaurant. Our children had an absolute blast! The room facilities were a bit cramped and basic, and transportation was limited to taxis. However, we were generally satisfied with our stay and would recommend it.

Overall a pleasant stay, however location was a bit far from city centre than expected. Room was very spacious, great service, clean sheets and towels, nonetheless the hotel in general was a bit old, only the restaurant area and the pool was refurbished, rooms would probably need some updates (Though I would say 80% hotels in Cairns are pretty aged). Overall satisfactory given the price👍

Very grand lobby to start with. Nice hotel in a very handy location. We have a good view overlooking the sea, which is great. Just a short walk to the Night Markets. Woolworths is even closer. The Wildlife Doom is just opposite the road. So everything is so handy.

There is no breakfast, the room is large and clean, can accommodate 4 people, one large bed and two small beds, the bed is very comfortable, the room can also cook, and the kitchenware is full. The location is excellent, it is very convenient to be close to the supermarket and the seaside. The old lady is very nice and welcoming. Next time you stay in Cairns. Oh, forget to say, the cat is so cute!

HHaoCrystalbrook Flynn is a vibrant, modern hotel that delivers the perfect mix of luxury, style, and energy. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels fresh and upbeat, with a lively yet polished vibe that sets it apart from more traditional resorts. The rooms are spacious, sleek, and thoughtfully designed, featuring contemporary décor, comfortable beds, and stunning views of either the Coral Sea or Cairns city. The attention to detail, from the quality linens to the modern bathrooms, makes the stay feel indulgent. Dining is a highlight – Flynn offers multiple restaurants and bars with diverse menus, from fresh local seafood to crafted cocktails. The Glasshouse is a must-visit, combining elegant design with a fine dining experience, while Flynn’s Italian provides a more relaxed yet equally impressive option. The pool area is stylish and inviting, complete with a glass-bottom feature that overlooks the bustling street below, creating a unique and playful touch. It’s an ideal spot to unwind with a drink in hand while soaking up Cairns’ tropical climate. Service throughout the hotel is attentive and friendly, with staff who go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and well looked after. The hotel’s location is another big plus – right on the Esplanade, it’s only steps away from the Lagoon, restaurants, and the marina for reef tours. Overall, Crystalbrook Flynn is perfect for those looking for more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience. Energetic, stylish, and fun, it suits couples, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to enjoy the best of Cairns in a modern, luxurious setting.

NNickVery comfortable night sleep, room was clean staff were helpful. Please note the lift is currently under construction so you may need to use the stairs, the stairs are not suitable for children as they have horizontal rails with large gaps. The restraunts buffet looked like it had a decent selection but we did not have it as it was $16each our two and three year olds.

YYoumeiThere is a Woolworths supermarket right next to the hotel. Rusty's Market, the Night Market, and the Reef Terminal are all within a 5-minute walk, making this a great location! I also appreciated the free coffee and water. I stayed for 3 nights, but there was a cleaning service every 2 days, and the linens were changed for new ones. I had an inquiry about check-in, so I sent a message twice through Trip.com, but there was no reply. Maybe it's because I'm in Japanese? Other than that, I was very satisfied with the cost performance, cleanliness, shower water pressure, and staff service. I would like to stay at this hotel again next time.

NNatasha LouiseWe stayed in the lovely and spacious executive king room, but unfortunately had to move to a deluxe king room with a balcony on the second night due to the executive room being fully booked. We were somewhat disappointed as the deluxe room felt older and less well-maintained, a noticeable downgrade. However, we appreciated the convenient second-floor area with complimentary coffee, books, and games, and the hotel's location was ideal; close to restaurants and shops yet peaceful.

RruiyingNo breakfast. Not a hotel, it is an apartment. There is a kitchen in the room, the pots and pans are all in order, and you can cook. Even the waiter did not, just the gentleman at the front desk, everything is looking for him. Can be an extra bed, just met a Shanghai family to stay, heard that they said to have an extra bed, it seems to be 65 knives. I don't know how to answer the questions with children, I don't know what the point of attention is. Hotel location is OK, opposite the public open-air swimming pool of lagoon, 5 minutes walk to the pier. There is a parking lot.

For the first time backpacker experience, this hotel with a high local rating is actually transformed from several residential villas, and there is a small swimming pool in the middle yard. Kitchen sharing. Here you can make what you want. The plane arrived late at midnight on the day of check-in. After Ctrip's emergency coordination to adjust the arrival time, Ctrip is still reliable at critical times! The brand is still trustworthy. Go to the designated location and open the first side door, then go to the designated location at the front desk to pick up the room key. The family room has a large bed, a small bed, and a large sofa in the living room. Actually, it can be used for four or five people. In short, if the requirements are not too high, the price is 0k. Another thing is the hotel staff service is very nice! After opening the first door on the night of the check-in, we happened to meet the hotel manager and checked in directly for us without leaving that night. We also took the initiative to tell us about the use of the hotel. This hotel is recommended, Ctrip platform is reliable!

GGuest UserI had a great stay at Gilligan’s! The room was spacious and clean, and I was even lucky enough to have the whole dorm to myself one night. I still managed to meet plenty of people, despite being a solo traveller, thanks to the social atmosphere and nightlife. It’s worth noting that the bar/club area didn’t really get busy until late in the evening (11:30pm onwards), and the hostel is pretty deserted during the day thanks to everyone being out on tours/experiences. My room was overlooking the pool/bar area, so did get noisy at night, but the hostel offers free earplugs at reception which did the trick. It was great to have an en-suite in the room, and the bathroom was in good condition. The location is ideal, right within the hub of Cairns City, however I didn’t feel particularly safe as a solo female traveller in the area at night, so it’s definitely important to be aware of that/travel in a group where possible. The on-site travel agency is helpful and approachable, and staying at the hostel means that you can get discounted drinks at the bar and free club entry before 11pm. I didn’t end up going to any of the weekday themed nights, but at the weekend the vibes downstairs were good. I would definitely recommend Gilligan’s to any young solo/group travellers who want to meet new people and experience Cairns’ party scene at a budget-friendly price!
