My son and I were travelling Australia and booked 3 nights at the Haurborside. I upgraded to Harbor view. It is well worth the money to have the view. I don't know what the other rooms were like but ours was like this. The view and balacony were faboulous, can't remember what floor but I think there was 2 floor... more

This is a solid 3-star hotel in terms of facility and amenities, and we were treated very well on the one night we were there. When I booked through the website I mentioned it was our honeymoon, and though I'd booked the less expensive mountain view room they upgraded us to the water-view room. In addition they sent up a... more

We flew into Cairns late iin the evening & didn't arrive at the hotel until after 11:00 p.m. and exhausted from traveling. The night attendant was not very cheerful or inviting. We went into our room & I was immediately disappointed but knew we wouldn't be in our room much. The carpet had stains all over it. The paint was... more

We arrived at the Mercure Harbourside in Cairns for a 3 night stay and was pleasantly suprised. The reception area is lovely and spacious and the staff that were on the desk were very helpful. We did not have to wait to be checked into our room either. The room was very clean with two queen beds easily fitted in.... more

It may seem weird to write a review for a hotel you stayed at almost 2 and half years ago, however on the flip side, it demonstrates how much we loved this hotel, its city, and the people in which we still think about after all this time. It may have been luck or fate, but from the second we... more

Hi, What I am about to give you is an honest review from an honest Irish person. We are not the type who booked e.g. a budget hotel and expect rose petals like some people. We want comfort, cleanliness, hospitality, convenience and expect no more or less than what we paid for. This hotel gave us more. If people want... more

We transit in Cairns often and like to try different hotels. We chose a mountain view room as the water view is mud flats half the time. Location is off the beaten path so is quiet. The hotel is on the airport flight path and the planes look real close to the hotel. The rooms must be sound proof or... more

Very good hotel indeed. with only one problem. It is not in the city center (40 min walk). It's not a real problem because the hotel have his own shuttle bus to the center from hour to hour. And the taxi is.cheap. The room was large enough and the seaview was super. The breakfast it's something curious- or not. Every... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Mercure Harbourside. Please note that the locals don't call it "Mercure Harbourside"; they just call it Harbourside. The hotel runs an excellent shuttle service into the heart of Cairns once every hour until 10:00 pm. They also pick-up from Cairns every hour. We had no problems getting around. Our 7th floor room overlooked the... more
