I stay in hotels about 75 nights a year and this is absolutely the worst of any I've stayed in. The rooms are horrible with mold and rust rampant throughout the facility and tons of ants. It was so bad that I poured two ants out of the coffee pot one morning and, needless to say, don't even think about... more

We recently stayed at the Hilton Cairns. Thinking we would treat ourselves with some 5 * luxury. Well what a joke that was!!. The Hotel is old and dated. They have tried to update the main entrance and foyer......but it generally looks tacky. The rooms are dated and stale smelling. The bathroom had mould stained in the grout and although... more

The staff at the Cairns Hilton were terrific, but almost everything else left a lot to be desired. When we first arrived, after valet parking our rental car (take note - it is $10 for 24hr parking, or $7:00 to use the hotel carpark every time you leave it, meaning if you leave twice in one day it is already... more

We have stayed at this hotel for a week. We had been to Cairns before but this time chose the Hilton for the location and the restaurant. The hotel is right in the city centre, on the waterfront and very close to the boats departing for the Great Barrier Reef. We visited their restaurant 'Mondo' a couple of times the... more

Stayed at Hilton Cairns this week. Probably one of the best locations in Cairns on the waterfront and right next to the boat Marina to the reef. Friendly and attentive staff who were genuinely interested in our time up there. Hotel has a really funky lobby and awesome restaurant on the waterfront. Will definitely be back! more

We stayed for 2 nights then moved. When booking we asked for a non smoking room on a non smoking floor. When the room filled up with cigarette smoke we noticed three people smoking on the balcony next to us. when we complained we were told we were on a non smoking floor but they allow smokers on the balcony.... more

Stayed here for two nights and had reserved a king room, my wife and I arrived around 1pm and were told quite rudely that checkin was not until 3pm. I asked if they had any rooms available now as I wanted to shower and rest for a while. After a few minutes they said came back and said they had... more

We stayed here for one night-- we had an early morning flight. Granted, I may have been spoiled coming from four nights at Thala Beach prior to checking-in here. However, I would only describe the room as okay. The room was small-- not a lot of space to move around. Also, per prior posters, I also thought the bathroom was... more

We stayed for 4 nights in February and found it be a great base when staying in Cairns. The room was spacious, bathroom was looking a little tired, but everything worked ok. Free large bottles of water in the room were great as we took those out with us each day. Location was excellent - just a short walk to... more
