The hotel is very nice, the room incredibly spacious, clean and with an amazing view on the bay, we couldn’t ask for more. The hotel has a beautiful outside area of pool and it has a nice gym. The location is simply amazing, cause it’s very very well located, just in front of where all the tours leave, so it couldn’t be better. Inside the lobby there is a tour operator wich sell tours at a very good price, so everything works perfectly. The staff it’s great, we checked out in the morning but our flight was not leaving till evening and they gave us access to gym, swimming pool and showers. We are very happy with the experience we had and we highly recommend this structure!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—there was a coffee machine, elegant cups, and wine glasses. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking. The rooms are also soundproof, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. Although we didn’t use the pool or try the breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Cairns has always been a central hub for all kinds of visitors from backpackers to visitors in some of the elegant hotels. There are plenty of cafes, lunch and dinner venues then trips to offshore islands and outer reef for snorkeling and diving. Good airport access with domestic and some international flights as well as the famous Spirit of Queensland train to other tourist locations in Queensland through to Brisbane with connections to Brisbane Airport and the Gold Coast

Cairns is David Attenborough's Favourite destination in the whole world - The mountains meet the Rainforest, which meets the sea, having The Great Barrier Reef, which is 1 of the "7 WONDERS", within the world. Cairns has so so much to offer. We had a hire car, drove up Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, Port Douglas, Tablelands. We took a Sunset Sea Yacht cruise, Raintree Crocodile Cruises, Port Douglas Lady Douglas River cruise. Cairns itself has a Night Market, a wonderful Boardwalk, a Free Swimming Pool for everyone, a fantastic boat harbour with loads of great eating around the central of Cairns. Cairns CASINO is also great for eating & a nice Casino. The locals are helpful and very friendly. Cairns has quality accommodation which is reasonably priced. We always love our time away in Cairns. Cairns weather was perfect, not a day of rain. Our Great Barrier Reef snorkling was also wonderful.

Cairns itself has so much to offer! Stay at the Harbourside hotel for exceptional service, Bel, Rita and the blonde gentleman on at night were outstanding. Breakfast , cleanliness and comfort + views from balcony in room sensational. This pkace is 5 star in every sense on a 3 star budget price. Train and cable ride a must, ensure you pre book. Fishing charter with Cairns reef fishing Oz , a must do! Katch up restaurant a hidden gem with bloody good food and cocktails . Best op shop was the animal welfare and Maggies. Casino great vibe Pubs- The Cock and Bull, Pier Hotel and Crown for steak. Italian restaurant food and service is Villa Romana.

I loved the night activity and the Lagoon is amazing, very relaxing! Plenty of good food affordable food options, and casual tropical feel and lots of sun!!! I actually usually stay at Palm Cove which is quiter and I find it so easy to travel using the bus services, which are 50 cents per ride in Qld or $1.00 for the whole day, so easy to get around! One point I would say is Cairns City needs to get their street signage sorted out, as I spoke with many and we all felt either their was no sign at an intersection, or it was hidden and not obvious! Yes we can use our phones when they behave, but it is still vital to have basic signage! Overall I love going to far North Queensland as it is beautiful scenery and incredible plants and flowers thrive everywhere and very friendly!!! Leith, Melbourne

View was great! Room was spacious - comfortable and clean for a 5-night stay. Staff on arrival were helpful and throughout the stay. The room offered all facilities, robe, slippers, plenty of hanging space, good iron and board, good hairdyer, good bathroom lighting, kettle and fridge. Handy to Cairns Reef Fleet terminal and Esplanade. The hotel pool garden with tropical plants and potted flowers is beautiful and worth a visit to check out - kudos to your gardeners.

We stayed in a King Premium Waterfront room at Cairns Harbourside Hotel and loved it. The room was huge with a stunning view. Brekkie had plenty of variety and the pool area with the back garden is a great spot to chill out. Location’s spot on – just a short walk along the water to the city, restaurants and bars, and only a quick drive to the airport. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole place had a relaxed vibe. Would happily stay here again!

Really spacious apartments, we were lucky enough to get to stay in 2 of them. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows even more so. Management were very kind, helpful and responsive. We put in more than one request and each time it was dealt with promptly and efficiently and nothing was too much. Location was very good, close to cairns central shopping centre and a short walk to the esplanade and city centre.
