We stayed two nights and paid the upgrade from the superior ocean view to the privilege room. Room size was good, comfortable king bed (two singles together), great view from balcony however cheap mouldy plastic chairs on the balcony, the bathroom okay however has mould over the extractor fan vent above the bath (all it needed was a wipe over)...

We spent 3 nights at the Mercure Cairns Harbourside and enjoyed every moment. The hotel location was ideal for easy access to the airport, downtown and the marina district. Our room was clean, spacious, quiet and well appointed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar and dining areas were very enjoyable.

Stayed in an oceanfront room for 3 nights. The view was not great because we were on the first floor, if you pay for oceanfront make sure you get up higher. Also, it's just a view, not a great beach and not one you can swim at or walk on. The staff was friendly, the room was okay, the location... More

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel in the middle of a three week tour of Australia. It provided us with a relaxing respite, very friendly and helpful staff. Dick on Reception was particularly knowledgeable with regard to local day trips. We booked a sea view room which was well worth the extra money and we made good use of... More

We booked this hotel through Wotif secret deal and paid $95/nt. This hotel is near the Cairns hospital, and is about 5- 7 mins drive from the busy area. Other than the location, the room is clean and spacious. If you have a car then, it's not really a problem. A balcony over look the beach is also a plus... More

My wife and I though it was great, a nice stroll to the restaurants etc, a view of the sea king bed was to king singles which is common but we ended up on one, as one soft and the other firm, only a minor problem otherwise a great stay.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in March. It is about 10 minutes drive from the airport. We had a twin room facing the sea with a balcony. As we arrived early at about 8 am, we were allowed to use the room with a surcharge of A$30. All the staff at the reception were cheerful, helpful and... More

The important thing was the service. The staff were fantastic! Reception was the best! Also the restaurant was epic! Location good and there is a bus shuttle into the centre of Cairns. I recommend this hotel to you!!
