Stayed in the harbour view room - unfortunately that part is undergoing some works and the harbour is much to be desired for. Great size room, with a great size balcony. Shower facilities were clean. In room air conditioning was great considering the humidity outside. Pool was great and newly refurbished. Walk into CBD is about 5 minutes, walk to... More

Stayed two nights in 6th floor queen bed room. The first thing we noticed was the old television, not flat screen as would expect in a five star establishment. The small table had the top lifting due to moisture damage and a very sparse mini bar. The room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom was large and the balcony... More

We stayed 2 nights in a 10th floor Harbour View room - more like glimpses between the other buildings. However we could easily see the 8am flotilla heading out to the reef & could see some of the mountains to our right. Buffet breakfast was great ...lots of different food choices & they even had a chef on hand to... More

Stayed over two nights in harbor view king room. While the hotel was pleasant and I enjoyed a spa facial treatment, overall the hotel was average rather than five star. I also found the room service breakfast expensive and not worth the price. More

Had to attend to some family business in the city so chose the Sebel because of its location. The hotel is very nice, rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Pool area is lovely and staff are always very friendly and helpful. I do agree with those who remark about the cost of extras, the valet parking service is very good and... More

Have been here a few times and when possible do try to book either here or the Shangri La. Rooms spacious and clean. Room service excellent. Only downside is the mandatory $20 parking fee that is charged daily for your car. (the only alternative is to park your car on the street in council parking meters charging an hourly rate. More

Had a great experience here. Came back to the room whilst diner was still going. We went to the restaurant to ask about breakfast in the morning. Staff were very helpful and when I asked if there was chocolate in the room the waiter said yes but hold a minute. When he returned he gave me a plate full of... More

After many years of travelling to Cairns for the Sebel has provided the best value for money. The Hotel foyer is grand and inviting. The rooms are very clean and a above average size with very comfortable beds. The bath rooms are also a good size, with bath, shower and large mirror. Overall, very quiet and relaxing. The Sebel is... More

The pool area is awesome. The rooms are large. We stayed on the top level and there is a great view. It was well priced. They even setup a cot for our baby and changed the sheets in the baby's cot every day. I would stay here again. There are options to park on the street and you don't have... More

I've stayed here a number of times over the last decade (as the former Cairns International & now as The Sebel Cairns). It has a lovely foyer, amazing buffet breakfast on the weekends and the rooms are large and comfortable. Everything is clean & of good quality. The staff service is quick and pleasant. Even the reception staff handle things... More
