I got booked to stay in this hotel due to STA travels. The STA staff does not inform me of the sharing of the showers and toilets in some areas of the hotel prior to my trip to Cairns. Which in my case is! Old heritage building. Good location in the centre of CBD. Perhaps could clean up a bit... More

We had a great stay at the Hides hotel. It was nothing fancy but the bedroom and bathrooms were very clean. I was surprised on how comfortable the bed was. I had a lot of questions and the receptionists were very friendly and helpful. The hallways of the hotel were dim and hot but I wasn't planning on sleeping in... More

Do your research. Knowing nothing about the area, we paid too much. If you don't like your assigned room, ask for a different one. I think they have quite an assortment. It is a huge old building with very long hallways. The staff was friendly enough. You can eat free breakfast (very basic) on the large verandah. Located in the... More

If you can get an internet deal go for it. I found the location unbeatable - literally right in the centre of town. 24hr reception desk, very old and beautiful historic building. Room was massive - but a little grubby, but what else can you expect from a heritage building. Would stay there again if I got a deal. More
