Pullman Cairns International

Cairns City Cairns|0.11km from Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome
Pullman's is close to everything in town. I rang Pullman's the day after I booked a room & asked reservations if I could get a upgrade to a harbour view, the reservations person said that yes I could get an upgrade & that it would cost me an extra $20 a night on top of what I had paid, I said should I pay for that now, they said no when you arrived it will be $80 as I was staying for 4 nights. When I arrived I asked them about my upgrade & they said there was no record of me wanting an upgrade & that they could not help with a harbour view room as they did not have any available. I had other friends staying at the hotel at the same time that paid for mountain views & got harbour views. The furniture in the rooms were old & tables were swollen & had big chips out of them, outdoor table & chairs were not 5 star. We had breakfast at Coco's, I had ordered muffins, my friends had ordered omelette & bacon & eggs. I changed my mine 1 minute after I ordered, I wanted waffles I asked the staff & they said yes they would change my order. My friends order came & I waited for 20 minutes before I got my waffles. Staff were walking around the restaurant with orders & asking people had they ordered this, they had no table numbers, no idea who ordered what, they looked very unprofessional.

I could have given 5 stars but didn’t because I requested to give me extra 1 hour check out time but they declined. They just didn’t care at all those people on the front desk. I won’t come back there are plenty hotels in the vicinity, a little walk is good exercise; plus the night market is on the other side anyway.

We arrived at the hotel around 1.30pm and we were able to check in straight away, the girl on reception was very friendly and explained where our room was as there are 2 towers . We were on the 10th floor with a city view. Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Loved how they are helping with environmentally keys for your door which are just round bamboo disks and also having no plastic bottles in the fridges, just glass bottles. All tv programs were free so we’re able to watch new release movies and free wifi . We had booked a holiday package , so we also had free car parking and a $250 credit to use at any of their hotels . Would definitely stay here again .

Crystalbrook Bailey was my stopover hotel so I wasn't expecting anything flash etc however when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful and modern this hotel is. Such a change to a lot of the older Cairns hotels. I felt like I was in a hotel in Melbourne! Check in was a breeze and staff were lovely, I was in my room in no time at all. There is alot of stunning modern artworks all throughout the building, very cool to find as you make your way to your floor. The room was beautiful and sufficient for a one nights stay, I could have easily stayed for longer! The location is great, in the city and close to the esplanade. I would definitely stay here again!

Cairns Central Plaza Apartment Hotel Official

Cairns City Cairns|0.82km from Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome
Not a 24-hour front desk, more than 6:00 in the evening, it is closed, there is a self-service machine at the door, but entering your own booking information does not work, you must call the phone posted on their wall (English), report your name , generally the name, not the last name. After they check the order, they will instruct you to enter a string of 6 digits on the kiosk to get your door card and elevator access card from the kiosk. Then, brush the elevator access card into the building door, enter the elevator, find Just brush your own room and get in. Let me talk about his house type. I have an apartment style, a bedroom, it should not be a 1.8 bed. Our 2 adults brought a 12-year-old child to sleep on the bed, their feet are outside the bed, and the living room is two. People sofa, because the reservation said that no extra bed, so it is so okay. The room facilities are very old, the shower door on the bathtub has been replaced, only one frame is left, there is no shower curtain, the nozzle is sprayed in a mist, the basic washing is not so happy, it will splash around, and the bath is basically the bathroom. wet. The capsule coffee machine in the room was bad, could not make coffee, and did not clean every day until the day of departure. If it is not because I booked a day trip to the Kuranda Rainforest, I will take a sightseeing train back when I return. This hotel is opposite the train station. I can go upstairs from the train station to the large parking lot, from the commercial building of Coles Supermarket. It’s really tight, but in addition, it’s definitely not chosen because the accommodation is too poor and there is no service at all. The front desk service is Monday to Friday 8:00-17:00 and weekend is 10: 00-15:00. Dear friends, if you can move, it is recommended to choose other hotels. According to my observation, Cairns has very few taxis. It seems that it is impossible to make a reservation, and the bus is not convenient. Basically, it depends on the legs. Breakfast was not eaten at the hotel, it is estimated that it is not awkward, the hotel itself has a parking lot, the visual inspection is quite big, because there is no self-driving in Cairns, so I don't know how to charge, but it should be charged.

Pacific Hotel Cairns

Cairns City Cairns|0.14km from Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome
We recently spent two nights at the Pacific Hotel Cairns and found it to be good value, well located and clean. The room was modern and the beds really comfortable. The only downside was the view onto the parking lot but we didn't book to enjoy the view from the room so that was fine. Also have a nice buffet breakfast at a reasonable price. We look forward to going back again soon.

The Sebel Cairns Harbour Lights

Cairns City Cairns|0.14km from Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome
The location of the hotel is right next to the pier. It takes about 2 minutes to walk to the ticket exchange hall and about 3 minutes to the pier. It is located in the middle of Shangri-La and the Hilton Hotel. The location is particularly good. Hotel service is also very good, sanitation is cleaned every day, but the toilet does not have a water strip, you can get a lot of water as soon as you take a bath. The kitchen utensils in the room are all available to cook by yourself. Not far from the supermarket, we didn't order breakfast. There is a sofa in the living room, but it can also be occupied.

The hotel is an old hotel, cost-effective, location in the city center, walk to the pier by boat, seven or eight minutes walk. Parking is not convenient. If you rent a car, it is not recommended to book this hotel. There is a Jiachuan restaurant under the hotel. The taste is good, but the price is expensive. The spicy tofu is AUD 23. The most expensive spicy tofu ever.

The Benson Hotel

Cairns City Cairns|0.35km from Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome
Good location, and only a short walk from shops, bars, restaurants and the reef cruise terminal. Large rooms with all things you would need for a short stay although the room we stayed in was dated. I believe there is a room modernisation programme on the go. Quite noisy at night, not sure if it was coming from the hotel bar area on floor 3 or from a nearby establishment. Our room was on floor 10 and even with the balcony door closed it still kept us awake. Staff were pleasant and helpful and rooms serviced daily. We booked this hotel in July 2022 with breakfast included. It came as a surprise to us when we took breakfast on the first day that we only had limited choice from the menu. All other items including larger breakfast items, juice and coffee were charged extra. Due to time limitations on the first day we left it till later to complain. Reception explained that there had been a change of management and had discontinued the buffet breakfast in favour of an al a carte one. They phoned the restaurant and authorised full breakfast free of charge for us. As we had paid cash for extras the previous day, this was now lost. We always check booking.com and trip advisor reviews before making reservations. My advice would be to ignore those prior to July 2022 and especially ones that mention breakfast.

1) It was a nightmare checking-in. I reached the hostel at 6:30pm and realized that there was no reception but to use Goki for checking-in. However, I received a notice from Goki that ”no reservation” after keying in my confirmation number. I got a shock and kept asking for help from strangers within the hostel. By the time I got it solved, it was like 8:30pm and I was starved to death. 2) Though Goki is an easy system but u need to bring your mobile everywhere you go even to the toilet eg shower (what happen if you forget to bring out the phone); there was a time my phone was almost out of battery (1% left) and I have to quickly charge it by borrowing charger from others. 3) There is no window in my room (single) and the air-con temperature is beyond my control 4) The reception area only opens till 2pm daily, after which you have to make call for any housekeeping services. It really pose inconveniences for first timer who wants to know about Cairns in terms of the directions, places of interests etc. 5) The location is excellent but I don't think I will recommend this hostel to my friends in future.

The location is dead centre cairns city, the 4 bed dorm is good for a group. The kitchen on level 4 is lovely, although some other quests do not clean up after themselves. The pool is lovely & you can get discounts on food and drink in the bar. The the aircon in the room cannot be controlled, we had to sleep in hoodies because it was so cold in the room. There is then NO aircon in the communal areas, making it incredibly uncomfortable to cook or relax. There is not clothes horse for drying clothes. The music that plays every night until 3am can we heard in every room in the hostel! One of the bar waitresses was very rude, pass-remarkable, made personal comments (weight/clothing) and poorly mannered in general.
