For once, we got the correct room upgrade without having to argue. This Hilton has no charm as usual, but provides OK service. Staff is nice, breakfast is superb, pool is good, fitness room is below average. It is possible to rent bikes at the hotel but they are expensive and in very bad shape. All in all, Hilton Cairns... more

When we arrived for our two night stay we were most impressed - the foyer is lovely and airy and the staff at reception very friendly. However the rooms were another matter. They could have done with a good paint job and a new carpet.....and what other Hilton has a shower in the bath with a shower curtain. On reflection... more

We checked in and out of the hotel three times as we moved on to our Great Barrier Reef trip and two nights in Port Douglas. Each time we walked in the door we were treated as valued guests. Each time we were sent a welcoming letter and a box of sweets. The bellmen greeted us as old friends and... more

This is an older property which appears rather dated. The pool is small and has only an obscured view of Trinity Inlet. One of the things that struck me was the lack of a doorman. The restaurant was undergoing renovations at the time of our stay. The Hilton does offer easy access to the boardwalk and the marina. more

Location was perfect, many rooms with a view of the water. Service was friendly and professional. Getting to the pool was a little complicated, you might want to ask first to avoid getting lost. more

We stayed at this hotel for just one night during our recent trip to Australia. I wish we had spent more time here. Cairns is a surprisingly delightful city and the hotel is a dream. Located with gorgeous views of the harbor, it is within easy walking distance to the promenade and the boats out to the reef. The staff... more

Great location with views over the water and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the lagoon. Great value wotif package that included a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Bed was very comfortable, not your usual hotel bed. Service was friendly and very good right from the first greeting. Could not fault this hotel in any way during our stay. more

The location of the hotel can't be beat. Easy walk to the Marina and the Esplanade. Very good breakfast buffet. Room was showing a little bit of wear (hole in the bathtub enamel, for instance) but otherwise a very nice hotel. more
