The walls are paper thin. You can hear people from the next room. No one answers the phone in this hotel. I called for two days all day nonstop at different times and cannot speak to someone. I was provided an email to email them from a corporate phone number and it took them two days to respond to my email.  I left all of my chargers in the hotel room. They are not in my suitcase, so there’s no other possibility, except for that they were left in the room. They claimed that they were not left in there. This means that one of their employees stole them.

The hotel is a good location walking distance to Bars and restaurants It is very dated and in need of a revamp old lifts We got checked in but was disappointed to Find out that the hotel was under construction and that there was no pool they did provide transport to another hotel but we just went to the public one Fresh towels were provided daily but the bath had not been cleaned or washed out The bathroom is small can’t fit two people in at the same time

Good location, only a very short walk to the sea from walk along the esplanade. The breakfast is good and the staff are very friendly. There's an activities desk in reception and they offer plenty of choice.

The hotel’s location is great, but we had a few inconveniences. irst, the room phone wasn’t working. I informed the front desk, and they said it would be repaired, but it never was. Then, the alarm went off in the middle of the night, and we were told it was just a test. Testing in the middle of the night was very inconvenient. We couldn’t get back to sleep afterward.
Response from Property: Dear Guilherme, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we're glad you enjoyed our convenient location, we're truly sorry to hear about the inconveniences you faced during your stay.We apologize for the issue with the room phone and the lack of follow-up after you reported it — that’s not the level of responsiveness we aim to provide. Additionally, the alarm going off in the middle of the night, even as a test, was clearly disruptive and should not have occurred at that hour. We understand how frustrating it must have been to lose sleep, and we sincerely regret the impact it had on your stay.Your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure these issues are addressed and prevented in the future. We appreciate your comments and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a more seamless and restful experience. Adila - Commercial Team

A bit outdated rooms and foyer areas..is in need for a good renovation. The beds were too soft for my tastes , but the pillows compensated for it. Other than that , everything was perfect. The best part of double tree are the warm cookies they offer on arrival. I had requested the recipe for the same, which the team happily obliged. A very friendly staff and really helpful. Rooms were clear and well sized. Keep up the good work.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the warm welcome (and our signature cookies!), as well as the friendly and helpful service from our team. It's great to know the room size and cleanliness met your expectations, and we're glad the pillows helped balance out the softer beds.We also appreciate your comments about the rooms and foyer — we understand the importance of keeping things fresh and modern, and your input is valuable as we plan future updates. We're so pleased you had a positive overall experience and hope to welcome you back again soon! Adila - Commercial Team

Hotel is very dated. Room has molding smell. Bathroom is very basic. Not much a service from the hotel either.

The Hilton Double Tree is in a perfect location, being within walking distance of Cairns City points of interest. The hotel is clean and the beds are super comfortable. Staff are friendly and obliging. Breakfast has gluten free cereal and bread which is a boon to coeliacs. We will stay there again.

Amazing experience. Really beautiful property. Great staff. We booked our reef experience with them. Had really fun. Helpful staff members. Loved their welcoming fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They updated our room for a ocean view room.

We really enjoyed our stay & will definitely be back. The room was lovely with the ocean view. Staff were fantastic & location was great with a short walk to night markets along the esplanade.
