Cairns Hotels with Gym

The room was very clean. I spent a long time looking for a hotel, and most of them seemed old and outdated. This one was newer, so I quickly chose it. I got a courtyard room with a small balcony, which was perfect for sitting and enjoying a beer – very relaxing. The front desk staff provided service in Chinese, which was a really thoughtful touch. They clearly marked the locations of the shopping mall, pharmacy, and night market, which was super helpful. The only way to get to the hotel is by taxi from the airport, but overall, I was very satisfied with the stay.

The room was quite simple and comfortable, with all the basic amenities, including a bathtub. The balcony offered direct sea views, and the location was excellent. The pier for boat trips was right next door, and there were several restaurants along the pier boardwalk, like Dundee's Restaurant. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise – much better than expected, with a wide variety of options including Asian cuisine, and it changed slightly every day, which was great. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for maintenance during my stay. For kids, they provided a welcome amenity kit, and after collecting stamps, they even gave a lovely mini Kookaburra doll as a gift. Overall, it was a very good experience!

This is a pretty good hotel by local standards. It has a casino and the breakfast is decent, though it's a bit humid (which is typical for hotels in the Great Barrier Reef area). The room itself is very spacious, but the air conditioning blew directly on my head, making for an uncomfortable and restless sleep.

I didn't expect to find such a great value hotel in Cairns! There were five of us, and we stayed for four days. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was incredibly rich and varied. The swimming pool downstairs was also fantastic, and they even had a hot tub. If I ever get the chance to visit again, I'd definitely choose this hotel.

Nice view from the my room☺︎ I enjoyed staying at your hotel! I didn’t get a chance to use the pool this time, so I’ll definitely try it next time I come back to the Cairns !!

My husband and I had a great stay at BreakFree Royal Harbour! We were pleasantly surprised by how close we were to all of the spots we were wanting to visit. When leaving the ground floor, you exit right onto the Esplanade! I’ve included a picture of the Ferris Wheel view from our window!

An absolutely fantastic hotel! Right downstairs is the pier, super convenient for joining day trips to the Great Barrier Reef. It's just a 5-minute walk to the Lagoon and a 10-minute walk to the night market and restaurants. They provide complimentary water. The room is very spacious, with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, and the balcony directly overlooks the ocean. They offer a complimentary happy hour from 5-7 pm with unlimited soft drinks, beer, and red/white wine. The afternoon tea and breakfast offerings change daily. For breakfast, you can also order additional egg dishes like eggs Benedict. The pool is huge, the only downside is that it's unheated, but it seems like many hotels here don't have indoor or heated pools.

Front counter were friendly and accommodating. Location was close to everything. Facilities and grounds were well kept. Just didn’t like having to take used towels down and hand them to reception and exchange for clean ones.

The Mantra Hotel has outstanding location. It is directly in front of the Woolworths supermarket - the best option in central Cairns. It's also virtually opposite (the esplanade side)the lagoon public beachfront swimming pool. Finally it's just a 5 minute walk from Cairns Cruise Terminal, with outstanding day trips to Green Island, Fitzroy Island and the Reef. I booked a sea view room. When you enter the room, you don't see the ocean, but a building across the road. However, the view from the balcony was amazing. The balcony overlooks the main features of lagoon on the sea front. During the day it is great view - the lagoon pools and sea in the background. At night you cannot see the sea (as to be expected) but you have the amazing lagoon lights, which makes it very desirable and even romantic. Our room was at the end of block, which overlooks a shopping mall (no car noise) - looking right from the balcony is the lagoon view and looking left is a mountain view. However, from 2:00pm to 6:00pm the sun comes directly into the balcony area, which means it unusable until sun sets. Of course if you don't mind baking in the sun on the balcony, this is not really a concern. The room itself is pretty basic. The mini fridge of OK and TV has domestic channels only - no cable TV for BBC/CNN. The bathroom is of a good size. There is combined shower & bath. However, when using the shower, it can slightly flood this bathroom. A shower curtain may be desirable because the glass panel is not sufficient enough. At $225 per night this hotel was not cheap and you can better deals by coming in the off-season OR going bit further down the esplanade, and choosing another hotel. The Mantra does have its own pool and it is wonderfully heated, with normal deck chairs you would expect at 4 star hotel. However, the pool gets very little natural sunlight, because it of its location between 2 buildings. Overall, the hotel has amazing location, and it is still recommended, despite the shortcomings mentioned. My final note: When we checked in, I was impressed with the level of service provided by the receptionist. She had a very welcome attitude and a wonderful personality.
