"The location is further from the marina. While you can walk, it is a long walk and a car would be needed for those that don’t want a 35-40 minute walk to restaurants and marina. The property had the basics ( four plates, cups, and bowls, and some basic cooking items) and was sufficient for our stay as we often eat out for meals. The cleaning crew needs to do a better job though. There were stains on couch, carpet and curtains. Pool is very nice. Hot tub was really a cold tub."

Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Good location"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff Breakfast not to the standard you would expect from the Hotel brand. Rooms were aged but maintained well. Room could have been cleaned better, there was hair in the shower and diamonties on the bathroom floor from the previous guests. Advertised with mini bar, the fridge was empty, no complimentary milk or Tea/Coffee/Water. There was a coffee pod machine however. Rooms are advertised as sound proof, this is not the case. There is lots of road noise and external noises that carry into the rooms. Wasnt too bad, but it was there Was ok for a 1 night stop over."

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location with restaurants, shops, art museum, and the Night Market in easy walking distance. It was also close to the water and parks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. They aren’t super fancy but they were great for a solo traveler. And there was a big balcony overlooking the park. It was perfect for me."
