We arrived early in the morning and couldn't check in yet, but they showed us a room where we could unpack, which was very helpful. The room itself was spacious, but its age was undeniable.

We were with our adult children and were very pleased with our spacious 3-bed apartment with a big balcony and undercover parking. Nicely furnished and plenty of space for everyone. An easy walk to the center of town yet very quiet and just across the street from the waterfront and a brilliant cafe (Muddy's). Lovely swimming pool and very helpful managers. We were particularly impressed and grateful when they went out of their way to contact us and arrange for something left behind to be returned. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit."

Pacific Hotel Cairns ★★★★

"Location of the hotel is great and very convenient. The staff are friendly, towels were changed daily, and the pool was really nice. Overall, it was an excellent stay. The only small issue was that when we asked housekeeping to change our bedsheets on day 4 of our stay, it wasn’t done and the bed was left as it was. Other than that, everything was very good and we enjoyed our stay."

The Benson Hotel ★★★★

"Quite Central to where you need to be in Cairns. At first sight, the hotel looked quite crusty externally but the room (and interior) were fine. Breakfast was rather delicious. Pool looked ok but don’t actually go in as there was little cover from the sun i.e. additional deck chair umbrellas. Had to haggle for a late check-out (from 10am to 11am) but in the end, after using reason and logic, we got there… Overall a good experience"

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns ★★★★★

"Taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel cost $35. We arrived before check-in, but the front desk allowed us to check in early after signing up for their membership, and even upgraded us to a room with a great view, which we were very happy with. The hotel is very close to the pier, making it super convenient to get back to our room after a boat trip. The hotel's own pool is also fantastic. We stayed for three days and didn't want to leave!"

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort ★★★★

"The rooms were clean, but very small with low ceilings. Upon arrival, there was only one small carton of milk in the fridge, perhaps because the room was prepared earlier, for which I'm very grateful to the front desk staff. A big plus is the hotel pool, which has a sandy entrance on one side. However, the pool is shallow, so adults need to be careful not to scrape their feet on the rough bottom. Late check-out is available for an extra fee, which is very convenient if you're traveling with children and have a late flight. The airport is just 10 minutes away. Cairns Aquarium is nearby, and there's a large shopping center three blocks away. The promenade is two blocks away. Overall, it's good value for money, but don't expect perfect cleanliness or service."
