Nice rooms, great location. We stayed here for a few nights at a time while travelling around Queensland, and were never here for more than a couple of nights at once, which was just right. While there's plenty to do within walking distance, the hotel itself is a bit basic and there's not much to do. Staff are polite enough,... More

We booked The Hotel Cairns because the traditional old queenslander style of its exterior appealed to us. It is in a good location, slightly away from the madness but a short walk to the esplanade and main shopping area. We stayed in a plantation room on the second floor with a pleasant view of a slice of the Coral Sea.... More

Any longer than 1 or 2 nights here would be to much. It is just ok. It is definitely older than other hotels in Cairns that we saw and could do with some improvements to the rooms. It has a lived in feel,which is ok but above average room rates I would have expected more. You also have to pay... More

From the outside this looks like an ok place. A bit dated with a colonial look but I never try to judge a book by it's cover. My wife and I arrived on the morning flight from Sydney and took a cab to The Hotel. Upon arrival, the woman at the front desk was on the telephone. I stood back... More

This hotel has a lot of character. It's a little older but is well maintained and has a comfortable feel to it. The restaurant is TOP NOTCH. The food is excellent and the service is very good. The breakfast buffet is the usual, but better than most. A must do when in Cairns. It's convenient to the boardwalk. More

Only a short drive from Cairns airport, plenty of parking space, good food in restaurant, clean comfy rooms, guest laundry and only a short walk from the sea front (NOT a beach). Breakfast costs extra but is plentiful and there are lovely surroundings to eat it in. More

We flew into Cairns before driving to Brisbane. Found the hotel clean & comfortable Breakfasts were good. It was also convenient fro a 5 min walk into the main area of Cairns for access to shops & other eateries. The bar seemed very quiet, so for a bit more atmosphere, it was better to walk into the shopping area. More

After staying in hostels for a week and having no accommodation booked, I checked into The Hotel without a reservation. The staff were super friendly and the room was beautiful. I found the DVD player especially useful to watch my sky diving DVD which I hadn't expected to watch until I returned home. The bed was luxurious after my hostel... More
