Possibly one of the best little surprise hotels I've ever stayed in. It is a little aged perhaps but has a clean fresh feel. It has an old world plantation feel with that lovely open tropical feel. It has marble tiles and bath and a NON-water saving device which reminds you how much rain drops in Cairns. The staff are... More

This hotel has a well-known special offer. If you spend $100 or more in the restaurant you get one night's accommodation thrown in for free. Here's the trap. 1. In order to take advantage of the offer you need to upgrade to a more expensive room. No matter when you plan to stay the basic room will not be available... More

Conveniently located close to the CBD, The Hotel Cairns is reasonably priced, has comfortable rooms and a really good restaurant at a good price. They also offer a huge breakfast buffet. This is my first choice when staying in Cairns.

Great small hotel. Provided SMART CAR for a small fee on $45.00 for 24 hours. Rooms were clean airy and attractive. Breakfast packages are available. Close to downtown, but far enough so no noise. Service was good. Luggage storage provided for late departures. WiFi very strong and reasonable.

A hidden gem in the heart of Cairns. I am local and took 3 of my friends and their families to stay there and we all had a great time. We had family rooms which were lovely, clean and comfortable. The staff placed us all next door to each other and there was a large outdoor area just next door... More

We took advantage of the "spend 100.00 on dinner and stay free" deal. Found the staff very helpful, and the rooms nicely done, although old and could have been cleaned better. The waitstaff at the restaurant were awesome, and it was lovely sitting out in the garden with twinkling lights in the trees. We didn't feel rushed at all, and... More
