Pros: Great location, right next to the night market, making it super convenient.
Cons: The hygiene really wasn't up to par. Upon entering, there was a strong musty odor. Though common in tropical climates, it was still quite off-putting. What was truly unacceptable was that our pillowcases were dirty. This is not the standard one would expect from a higher-end hotel. I noticed this immediately upon arrival, which led me to suspect the sheets likely hadn't been thoroughly cleaned either. Furthermore, the room was quite small.
Overall: Despite these issues, there weren't many better options available. It's still regarded as one of Cairns' better hotels, boasting seemingly newer furnishings and decor than its competitors, so you just have to make do. For Chinese tourists visiting Australia, I'd suggest bringing your own disposable pillow and duvet covers for a slightly better experience.

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

Excellent hotel, 8 minutes walk from the pier, great location, good service at the counter, luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, simple and classy rooms, beautiful swimming pool although not used, breakfast above standard, coin-operated laundry room.

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.

We 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.

The hotel was extremely customer friendly. We had booked an ocean view room and they initially did not put us in that. When we went to get it corrected, they not only put us in an oceanview room but also gave us free breakfast for two days. The staff was incredibly friendly. The location was super convenient.Overall was a fantastic stop.

Spent 4 nights at the Cairns Plaza and couldn’t have been happier. Good, clean room. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant with it. Excellent location for getting around - 15 mins walk from the reef terminals and 3 mins walk to the bus to the botanical gardens. Very close to cafes/restaurants, the night market and shops. I knew beforehand there was no hotel restaurant but breakfast/meal boxes available to purchase. I would happily go back

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.

The service was helpful and efficient particularly Paul.
The bedroom 100 was an inner one with no window as such. But there was a window to a wall with 2 plants hanging down. It was a perfect place to sleep a bit like a cave in a way perfect just to sleep.
As far as I could see there was only one elevator coming and going also to the roof bar. So there was a wait here. Stairs would have been preferred.
The restaurant was fine too on the top floor with excellent views.
Location excellent with close proximity to the lagoon for swimming and of course the esplanade.
Great

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.

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.

LLvxingtuzhong123On Ctrip, this kind of hotel should be highly recommended. The price is not high, the stay experience is excellent, the staff are very friendly, the food is very convenient for travel, and the cleanliness of the room is far better than that of Hilton.

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!

GGuest UserStayed a number of times, good location, Cairns can be expensive but can’t blame businesses trying to catch up in busy times as everything else was expensive. Clean, tidy and friendly staff.

GGuest UserThe downstairs pool is fantastic! Breakfast was decent too, and I'd definitely recommend sitting outside to enjoy the sea view – it's absolutely perfect on a clear day.

井井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!
