We stayed 2 nights in a 10th floor Harbour View room - more like glimpses between the other buildings. However we could easily see the 8am flotilla heading out to the reef & could see some of the mountains to our right. Buffet breakfast was great ...lots of different food choices & they even had a chef on hand to... More

Stayed over two nights in harbor view king room. While the hotel was pleasant and I enjoyed a spa facial treatment, overall the hotel was average rather than five star. I also found the room service breakfast expensive and not worth the price. More

Had to attend to some family business in the city so chose the Sebel because of its location. The hotel is very nice, rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Pool area is lovely and staff are always very friendly and helpful. I do agree with those who remark about the cost of extras, the valet parking service is very good and... More

Have been here a few times and when possible do try to book either here or the Shangri La. Rooms spacious and clean. Room service excellent. Only downside is the mandatory $20 parking fee that is charged daily for your car. (the only alternative is to park your car on the street in council parking meters charging an hourly rate. More

Had a great experience here. Came back to the room whilst diner was still going. We went to the restaurant to ask about breakfast in the morning. Staff were very helpful and when I asked if there was chocolate in the room the waiter said yes but hold a minute. When he returned he gave me a plate full of... More

After many years of travelling to Cairns for the Sebel has provided the best value for money. The Hotel foyer is grand and inviting. The rooms are very clean and a above average size with very comfortable beds. The bath rooms are also a good size, with bath, shower and large mirror. Overall, very quiet and relaxing. The Sebel is... More

The pool area is awesome. The rooms are large. We stayed on the top level and there is a great view. It was well priced. They even setup a cot for our baby and changed the sheets in the baby's cot every day. I would stay here again. There are options to park on the street and you don't have... More

I've stayed here a number of times over the last decade (as the former Cairns International & now as The Sebel Cairns). It has a lovely foyer, amazing buffet breakfast on the weekends and the rooms are large and comfortable. Everything is clean & of good quality. The staff service is quick and pleasant. Even the reception staff handle things... More

We stayed for 3 nights in a Harbour View room, 12th floor, 14th-17th Jan. Found the rooms to be clean, comfortable, extremely spacious, and quiet- at most we heard the odd door closing from other rooms and when in the bathroom, you could faintly hear a toilet flush. Otherwise no hotel noise bothered us in our room at all. Beds... More

My wife and I found the staff to be polite although non-genuine with absolutely no engaging warmth in their responses when asked questions. The Mountain View room bed mattress was hard and our rooms T.V. was old styled and the remote control volume didn't work. As for the restaurant COCOS located in the hotels foyer, we dined there for an... More
