Monday, December 19, 2011

The breakfast package was fantastic,I do think the dinner meal prices are a bit rich,but I would stay again.The loction is perfect close to everything.

The service is fantastic!
Wednesday, December 07, 2011

Enjoyed our stay, but the shutters do not block out the light enough, they need to fix that. We arrived at 4.30am and they let us go into our room 9 hours early! The service is fantastic, rooms are nice, bed, b/fast and aircon is nice, the car was awesome. I would stay again if the light was blocked out more.

Great stay!

Enjoyed our stay here - location handy - meals excellent - service excellent - again have reccommended to friends. Was just what we wanted. Really enjoyed Cairns City as a whole - great weather - great facilities - friendly people

good experience
Tuesday, August 16, 2011

My stay was a good experience. The room was upgraded because I stayed for more than 10 days. THe rental car was a good incentive. The dining facility was slightly disappointing because the service was slow and prices are too high. My internet connection was not available in the room, I had to do it in the hallway. Overall, a very good experience.

Great restaurant attached
Monday, August 15, 2011

Great restaurant attached and great location.

The car was fantastic
Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Really nice staff, great breakfasts, nice room. Would have loved a tv in the gym as there is nothing to look at down there. Would also love for the doors to be double glazed as the room was quite noisy. The car was fantastic and provided a very fun day out. Once again, great staff that really make it a nice place to be!!

Saturday, July 23, 2011

having the Smart car available was a definate benefit

great pool
Monday, June 20, 2011

Meals and service great pool evening staff lovely nothing to much trouble car was a blessing all was great

old world ambience
Saturday, June 04, 2011

After a week working in Cairns and staying in more corporate style accommodation I was relieved to stay at The Hotel Cairns with its more old world ambience, tropical NQ style, and enjoy a living space that had been very tastefully renovated with love and attention to detail and with consideration of climate and place. Loved the shutters and appreciated the personal service.

Great hotel and facilities!
Sunday, April 10, 2011

Great hotel and facilities! Great location. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends and family. Enjoyed the hire car, glad this was available to us.

Loved the Smart car and laundry facilities on site.

Rooms were functional
Tuesday, December 28, 2010

Use of Smart car was great. Rooms were functional and well appointed. Counter staff were helpful and friendly. My son tells me he liked the pool and spa. Meals at the resturant were overpriced for what was on offer. The restuarant would be the only reason I may not use this hotel again.

we had a great holiday
Saturday, December 18, 2010

I was very impressed with the ease of booking, the rates, the hotel and your customer service....thank you, we had a great holiday :)

xceeded our expectations
Friday, December 17, 2010

We stayed four nights at the Hotel Cairns in one of their well-appointed but value-priced rooms. We must say that this hotel more than exceeded our expectations. The room and its bathroom were exceptionally clean with premium furnishings. The grounds were well attended to, and the receptionists very helpful. The Smart car fleet was available to us each day and there were no catches - just a ton of fun. I would recommend this hotel to everybody. To sum up - they over-delivered - thank you!

service was excellent

Thursday, October 07, 2010

Great location,nice & clean & good daily service, could do with some shelving/cupboards for clothes, loved the use of the smart car. We would recommend it & visit again.

The location of Hotel Cairns is A1
Thursday, September 30, 2010

The location of Hotel Cairns is A1, making it so easy to enjoy all the dining & shopping experiences. Smartcar was a great advantage when exploring the city & further North. We found the rooms and facilities adequate and good value for money. The Staff, particularly the cleaners were meticulous. But I was disturbed by the garbage truck each morning, perhaps because my room was opposite the Restaurant and storage area. I look forward to staying here again, but I will be asking for a room away from this area.

Beautiful tropical surrounds
Thursday, September 23, 2010

This venue captures the essence of Cairns.Beautiful tropical surrounds . Charming room outlook to palm covered patio. Plantation shutters add atraction.Immaculate and inviting.Close to the action. Avery personable place.Great staff.Wish our stay was just beginning. Thanks again.

Tuesday, December 29, 2009

The hotel was execellent and the staff friendly. The use of the Smart Car was great.

We had the convertible
Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Clean, neat, tidy and fabulous location. Handy to everything we needed, bars, shops, restaurants. We hired the smart car for two days and were able to experience the Mosman gorge and the Daintree in the north and Innisfail in the south. We had the convertible and laughed all the way its such a cute way to travel.

Use of the smart car was great, the hotel was in walking distance to shops food and the marina

very well located Hotel
Wednesday, October 21, 2009

It was a very well located Hotel with clean comfy rooms. They do not have rooms facing the ocean. Staff is excellent. Smart car is useful but you have to buy insurance for 30$ to reduce your deductible to 500$ or risk about 1500$. Like anywhere else in Australia you have to pay for the internet.

great atmosphere and so well run
Friday, October 16, 2009

I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. My wife and I just loved it. Great staff, great atmosphere and so well run. The use of a Smart car on 2 days free of charge was much appreciated.

wonderful base to explore
Saturday, October 10, 2009

Hotel location, spaciousness and cleanliness of rooms made this a wonderful base to explore the Cairns area. The free one day use of a smart car was an incredible bonus.

Hotel is well positioned, service was great as was the breakfast. The Friday night supper including live band was fantastic.

Excellent location.
Wednesday, September 09, 2009

Excellent location. Deluxe Tower room was very nice. The bathroom was nicely appointed but very small. The complimentary Smart Car would have cost $30.00 per day for insurance had we used it.

Would recommend it
Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Lovely rooms, very clean and airy. Our son loved the pool. Location excellent close to esplanade and few minutes walk to lagoon and lots of places to eat. Would recommend it and will stay there on our next visit.

comfortable and clean
Monday, August 24, 2009

Though not luxurious, our room was very comfortable and clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Availability of the Smart car was a bonus. We were able to see a lot more than we thought we would be able to. The hotel is in a very convenient position for walking to shops, restaurants etc. but is away from the noisy spots, so we were not disturbed by street noise.

Clean, well appointed and excellently located.

Hotel Cairns Was Lovely
Friday, December 21, 2007

My husband and i would like to thank you all for the help with our booking when we
were planning the trip for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. We had tried to book The Royal
Habour appartments which were fully booked, and you managed to book us into The Hotel
Cairns which was lovely. We were so glad we stayed there! We hope to come back to Cairns
as we only had a day and a half to see it. Thanks again girls for making our stay in Cairns
very enjoyable.

a real treat for us
Friday, August 03, 2007

Hi Jo,We had such a fab time! Thank you so much for all your help with our holiday!
The Hotel Cairns - was a real treat for us. We got upgraded to a spa room!!!! Fantastic! Breakfasts were wonderful and the Hot Rock dinner was excellent, We still talk about it! Felt spoilt at the hotel, enjoyed the stay there as it was a smaller accommodation, we don't really big Resorts. Oh yes, absolutely amazing location, we could get to the Pier in less than 15 minutes, we felt lucky to have accommodation within such easy distance to the city.We would definitely recommend all these tours to others and The Hotel Cairns. We had a great time in Cairns and now feel more familar with the area and are keen to go up again to explore further.
Jo, your help with all our holiday plans really made the experience very stressless. We felt that we were in very capable hands.Thanks again for the last minute help you gave us with changing our tour dates, we know you stayed back and we really appreciate the assistance you gave us. Just wanted to add also, how hard all the tour guides work, driving us around, sharing loads of info, preparing morning tea, lunch etc. They were always cheerful and there to help! I really admired them and their positive attitudes in showing people around beautiful Cairns. Thank you!
Emma & Chris Reeve
