"Had an enjoyable week stay at this hotel. It was my first stay here, having stayed at various hotels in Cairns from 3 star to 5 star. The hotel is very central to all, shopping , night life, adventure tours and dining all within walking distance. Transport is at your doorstep and the friendly staff at the Hides can book any excursion trip. Breakfast was simple but filling. Room was simple and clean, my only vice was the extra pillows I had, had a tear in the pillow case, maybe they need some new linen. Bathroom was clean and fresh. I was down the corridor at the Grafton Street end, and you do get a lot of noise from the backpackers Gilligans across the road, so ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper. On whole I enjoyed the stay and will be booking my next visit to Cairns with them. Don't expect anything fancy, but for a clean room in the heart of Cairns at a good price, I recommend Hides."

I highly recommend BOHEMIA resort for ur budget cairns stay."

"I've had the best stay at Hilton. The receptionist upgraded me to an ocean-view room (awesome!), and the room was spectacular. The view was excellent, and the breakfast selections were delicious - everything for everyone. I booked all my adventure trips just downstairs near the reception area, and I got to do all the must-do things in Cairns. I got to use the pool, although the gym equipments were quite old and unmaintained. The location of this hotel is awesome - right outside is the harbour and shops/restaurants close by. The staff were excellent - props to the desk staff, breakfast staff, and the nice housekeeping lady. I wanted to just stay in the hotel, but there were lots of things to do while in Cairns - Kuranda, Great Barrier Reef, etc. Staying at Hilton really made my stay in Cairns unforgettable. "
