3-Star Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Only complaint is the location, because buses to Brisbane center has long waiting time. Though it forces this hikikomori to walk more along the beautiful river coast. It is advisable to rent a vehicle beforehand. Also there seems not to be convenience store/supermarket nearby. As for amenities, there is laundry + dryer (AUD 4 + 4) and shared kitchen. But there are no towel, slipper, toothbrush/shaver/shampoo/body wash, so remember to bring your own.

friendly helpful receptionist. Facilities very good for what we expected. Was a flying visit, we ate dinner out and because we had a very early departure we were unable to partake of the breakfast offered. Off street parking was a bonus. Wheel chair access a definite plus as no stairs to climb or negotiate if guests have slight disabilities.

This apartment faces out to the ocean, it has great views from every room, the apartment is old and not modern, but if you’re looking for a reasonably priced beach front apartment with a great location, and free onsite parking, then this is the one.

I recently stayed at Hides Hotel during a trip to Cairns and was pleasantly surprised by the value and charm this heritage-style hotel offers. The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of the Esplanade, night markets, Reef Fleet Terminal, and plenty of restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re heading out for a reef tour or just exploring the local area, Hides is a super convenient base. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed, including air-conditioning (a must in Cairns!), a small fridge, and free Wi-Fi. The building itself has an old-school character that’s a bit different from your typical chain hotels, which I actually really liked—it feels like you’re staying somewhere with history. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, happy to give recommendations and assist with bookings. There’s also a lovely wide veranda on the upper level, which is a great spot to relax in the evening and take in the atmosphere of the city. Only downside was that the hotel is a bit dated in places, and depending on the room you’re in, you might hear a bit of street noise—but that’s to be expected in a central location like this. Overall, Hides Hotel is a great choice for budget-conscious travelers who want clean, central, no-fuss accommodation with character. I’d definitely consider staying again.

The room wasn't big, and the facilities were pretty standard. Breakfast was adequate. When we arrived from within the country, Google Maps led us along the car lane, which was quite dangerous. We later discovered there's a dedicated pedestrian path. At nearly $400 a night, it definitely wasn't good value for money!

Due to slow drainage in the bathroom that wasn't fixed, the hotel moved us to an upstairs room. It was a huge improvement from the previous one; the room and bathroom were spacious and clean, both with large windows that opened, offering a great view.

Location is not too bad. Situated a 15 minute walk away from the waters and main restaurant area. Situated on a main road but quiet at night. They let us put down our luggage when we couldn’t check in yet and leave it there after we’d checked out and waited for our flight. The young female receptionist was very helpful and nice.

I was booking at trip.com, but I was likely to be pulled down by a bank card without confirming at check-in. When I told you that I had already finished payment many times, I finally went to the back room to confirm. There is also a casino on the first floor and it is noisy with the explosion until midnight. Although it was due to heavy rain, the floor of the room was soaked and all the bags were wet.

Excellent Hotel with Great Location and Staff! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic: just a 3-minute walk from the railway station, and close to the embankment, the city hall, and many shops and cafes. My standard room was spacious and quiet with a courtyard view. The reception staff were very friendly and efficiently solved any questions we had. A great addition is the very cozy bar-pub on the first floor – perfect for a snack, a drink, or meeting friends. Highly recommended!

Stayed here for 2 nights. Reception staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. The room was clean and tidy. The food at G floor was delicious and reasonably priced (had the lunch deal). Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The downsides are that, 1) the hotel is situated on top of a hill and getting there on foot with luggage wasn't great (budget traveller). I definitely would recommend uber-ing there despite its prime location to the city central, especially if you've got heavy or lots of luggage. 2) the walls are relatively thin and in the wee hours of the morning, I heard people running around the hallway and talking loudly which woke me up from my sleep (and I'm not a light sleeper). On another separate occasion, I also overheard a conversation from the next-door occupant, who was speaking loudly over the phone for over an hour. A little annoyed by the noise but otherwise everything else was a good experience!
