"The biggest highlight is its location. It’s righton the marina, the hotel offers beautiful views of the harbor, especially at sunrise and sunset. It’s within easy walking distance of the Esplanade, reef tour departures, restaurants, and shops, which makes it extremely convenient. The rooms themselves are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Beds are comfortable with large bathroom."

"We had a wonderful family vacation stay at Hilton Cairns. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on the waterfront with beautiful views and very easy access to the Marine Esplanade, where you can enjoy a variety of water activities and explore the best of Cairns. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and family-friendly activities. Our child had plenty of things to enjoy nearby, making it a great choice for families. The in-house restaurant was excellent, with a nice atmosphere and great food options. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. Hilton Cairns is a great place for a family holiday — combining comfort, convenience, and a perfect location. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to families visiting Cairns."

"Perfectly located hotel - 300 m from the reef terminal (from where all day trips for Green island, the Great Barrier Reef and Fitzroy island are available! The view from the room was stunning - overlooking the harbour . The rooms are wide and equipped with everything you may need . We really enjoyed our stay at Pullman !  Note : there is also a spa and a swimming pool / jaccuzzi - but we did not use them as we did not have the time . Also - I am recommending to go to the Daintree rainforest- this is a fantastic day trip - to discover the oldest rainforest in the world ! Cairns is also a wonderful city - and there is also a wonderful supermarket 300m from the hotel. Thanks for all and we would not hesitate to go back again to Pullman Cairns !"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Stayed at Cairns Plaza for a few nights and found it comfortable and well located. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is one of its strongest points, right by the Esplanade, an easy walk to the wharf for Great Barrier Reef excursions, and around ten minutes on foot to the night markets and promenade. The room was very clean, genuinely spotless. No insects or critters at all, which really matters in this climate. It was spacious, with a fridge and a good sized balcony. My room had both sea and mountain views, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a solid and reliable hotel. Not luxury, but clean, comfortable, and very convenient for getting around Cairns.

Choosing The Benson Hotel for my Cairns trip was a brilliant decision! The location is absolutely superb – super close to the airport, just about a 15-minute taxi ride. It’s also only a 10-minute walk to the Lagoon Pool and the Marina, making it incredibly convenient for an evening stroll along the waterfront to the pool for a swim, or heading to the Marina to catch the sunset. The surrounding area is incredibly well-equipped too: right outside the hotel, you’ll find a huge variety of restaurants, from local seafood specialties to Asian cuisine, so you can try something new every day. There’s also a large supermarket nearby, perfect for grabbing fruits, snacks, or travel essentials. Shopping here gets full marks! The hotel rooms are spacious and bright, with all the amenities you could need, including air conditioning, making it feel just as comfortable as home. The front desk service was exceptionally thoughtful and attentive; they patiently recommended nearby attractions and restaurants, and any issues were resolved quickly. In short, this stay far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely choose The Benson Hotel again on my next visit to Cairns! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for convenient travel and comfortable accommodation – you won’t be disappointed!

部屋には洗濯機・乾燥機・キッチン・バスタブが備わっており、連泊だったのでとても助かりました。 お部屋も綺麗で2人でも十分な広さがあり、タオル交換やゴミ捨てもしてくれて快適に過ごせました。 徒歩圏内にはセブンイレブンとハングリージャックスがあります。夜も普通に歩けるくらいの雰囲気で、治安面も問題なく感じました。 中心部(スーパー、ナイトマーケット、カフェなど)からは少し離れているため、移動は基本的にウーバーやタクシーが必須です。歩くとかなり距離はありますが、散策しながら歩くのも楽しかったです。 ホテルまでのアクセスは、空港からタクシーで15分しないくらいでした。近くにバス停や駅はありません。 Wi-Fiは問題なく使え、速度や安定性も不便は感じませんでした。 騒音はほとんど気になりませんが、真下のプールで騒いでいる声が少し聞こえる程度でした。 ベッドの寝心地は良かったです。ただ、シャワーは一定時間を過ぎるとお湯が出なくなってしまい、水しか出なくなる点は少し残念でした。 全体的には設備がとても充実していて、特に連泊・長期滞在にはかなり便利なホテルだと思います。 3泊しましたが、この値段でこの快適さならコスパ良く、とても満足できました。フロントの方も最初から最後までとても親切で、気持ちよく滞在できました。

I stayed during my child's spring break. First of all, you should not mistake it for understanding that this is not a hotel, but an apartment. It's a very nice place if you can prepare your own things and buy them as needed. Good access to Cairns shopping centers and major facilities, no problem with rental car parking spaces, the pool is only for guests, so you can use it almost for charter, and you can use the veranda freely. Above all, I liked the owner's friendly greeting and wanted to stay more. We booked from the day before arrival because the flight from Japan was early in the morning, but we were able to tell us how to enter the room in advance by email, so we took a shower and rested and played well from the afternoon I was able to! What I'm glad I brought with me was body soap and soft tissue, and what I wanted was a tephron-processed frying pan? I can't think of anything in particular ... Basically, you can buy anything at the supermarket or the object shop opposite! Have a nice trip!

View from the room looks really good. It is 1km walking distance to everything including bars restaurants ferry supermarket and public swimming pools. 1 dollar day pass bus is available and there is a stop behind the hotel. But if you do not want to walk for hundreds meters or 1km, the location is not good for you.

Alivio Hotel Cairns

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Next time though I would ask for pool side as I think it would have been quieter than the street side with the mountain view. Very good breakfast both at the hotel and the one that was provided down the street at the cafe. It was a bit rushed at the café if you have an early morning departure for an activity. We had to take it to go a couple times. The room was spacious and we could get clean towels each day or as needed as there was no housekeeping for our 5 day stay. Pool was nice and hardly anyone using it when we were there. We definitely recommend this hotel. Good price too for our stay with the breakfast!

The hotel room is large, the indoor facilities are complete, very close to the sea, although there is no beach, but you can take morning exercises along the coast. The city of Cairns is small and there are not many people, but every morning, many people who run in the morning on the beach will feel that their life is very pleasant. The hotel is not too far from the duty-free shops in the city center, and shopping is quite convenient. The service staff of the hotel was very good. We didn't arrive at the hotel when we arrived at the hotel, but we found us with a vacancy and gave us instant noodles for breakfast. It was very considerate. Overall praise!

Reef Palms Motel Apartments

The only regrettable hotel in Australia and New Zealand. Let me talk about the advantages firstly: it is close to the beach, only a few minutes walk, you can walk, no beach, and the sea water is cloudy. Walk to the city center for about half an hour and there are buses. Besides the disadvantages: the hotel is old, the Wi-Fi signal is often not available, the room is crammed, the kitchen operation table is next to the bed, and you have to be very careful when washing. There was also a striking warning-1,000 fines for triggering a smoke alarm. The swimming pool downstairs was completely unused, with leaves and unknown objects floating in it. The most frustrating thing is that the ants on the wall are all in the tea cup after returning for a while. At night I crawled into my neck! Will not go again.
