Cairns Hotels with Free Breakfast

We had a wonderful family vacation stay at Hilton Cairns. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on the waterfront with beautiful views and very easy access to the Marine Esplanade, where you can enjoy a variety of water activities and explore the best of Cairns. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and family-friendly activities. Our child had plenty of things to enjoy nearby, making it a great choice for families. The in-house restaurant was excellent, with a nice atmosphere and great food options. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. Hilton Cairns is a great place for a family holiday — combining comfort, convenience, and a perfect location. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to families visiting Cairns.

The rooms were clean, but very small with low ceilings. Upon arrival, there was only one small carton of milk in the fridge, perhaps because the room was prepared earlier, for which I'm very grateful to the front desk staff. A big plus is the hotel pool, which has a sandy entrance on one side. However, the pool is shallow, so adults need to be careful not to scrape their feet on the rough bottom. Late check-out is available for an extra fee, which is very convenient if you're traveling with children and have a late flight. The airport is just 10 minutes away. Cairns Aquarium is nearby, and there's a large shopping center three blocks away. The promenade is two blocks away. Overall, it's good value for money, but don't expect perfect cleanliness or service.

The hotel's location is excellent, with a wide variety of dining options right downstairs. Our family of three booked a suite, and they added a single bed in the living room, which was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast selection was also very rich and diverse, offering great value for money! A quick tip: there aren't as many hotels in Cairns as one might expect, and even during the off-season, this hotel's rooms can be scarce. It's best to book your entire stay at once, as trying to extend your reservation day-by-day might mean you won't find availability.

The room facilities are probably on par with a 3-star hotel in China. It's a bit closer to the airport, and a taxi ride there costs around $22. We stayed here for one night and didn't use the hotel pool. There was a singer performing in the bar that evening, and it was really nice to grab a beer and listen to the music. One of the elevators made a surprisingly loud noise when it opened, which was a bit startling.

I got a sunburn on the uninhabited island tour, and when I told the front desk I needed to cool down, they brought a lot of ice to my room, which was incredibly helpful. The room was also very spacious. However, there are no slippers, so I recommend bringing your own. The bathroom and other wet areas were also fine and comfortable.

Great location in CBD, short walking distance to Wharf for most activities, restaurants and food outlets. Apartment is quite spacious, 1 bedroom with ensuite and extra bathroom and equipped with all kitchen appliances, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, iron etc. Service was ok as reception/service was mostly not available due to public holidays, didn't need much of service as such. An unpleasant experience when found dead cockroach on arrival and live cockroach few times during the stay, otherwise apartment was quite clean.

I accidentally booked this hotel and found out it was non-cancellable when I tried to cancel, so I had no choice but to stay. Overall, it was okay; the room was a bit small but quite tidy and clean. The front desk staff were very friendly. The restaurant was under renovation during our stay, so we were given vouchers to have breakfast at the hotel across the street. Clearly, for an extra AUD$80 a day, we could have stayed somewhere much better. The hotel hallways had no air conditioning and were very stuffy and hot. However, there was a free coffee machine downstairs with complimentary coffee. The swimming pool looked dirty though, and no one was using it. The location is a bit far from the Reef Terminal, about a 17-minute walk.

It is good to be able to check in 24 hours. The room I stayed in had a bathtub and was clean, so it was a room that could store hot water in the bathtub and use it.

The location is super convenient, just a few minutes walk to the seaside promenade. Getting to the pier is also a breeze, about fifteen minutes, and you get to enjoy plenty of ocean views along the way. It's also very close to Cairns city center.

Overall good, but a very strong paint smell in the room, there also was a bad smell coming from toilet. There was a large spider on the wall in the bathroom. The balcony was very dirty as if it has never been cleaned. But the customer desk personnel were very friendly, courteous and helpful. Next stay we will book an apartment room instead of single room. But overall it was pleasant apart from the abovementioned.
