We stayed 8 nights and room on second floor was very clean, comfortable and well worth the budget price. Woolworths only over the road. Close to everything in Cairns city including lagoon area for swim. Staff were amazing and would do everything they can to help us. We hired a car for 5 nights and booked a parking spot for $10 a day. Well worth it. Definitely a great hotel to stay in and we will stay again👍

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your recent stay at Hides Hotel Cairns. We believe that comfortable, clean, quality accommodation needn't always be accompanied by a hefty price tag, and we are very proud to continue to offer great value for money services to our guests, 135 years after Hides was first established. The location of Hides is indeed hard to beat, with so much to explore within easy strolling distance! Did you know, in the late 1800's when Hides was first established, it was considered somewhat of a bold move to build a hotel all the way up on Lake Street, so far from the Wharf which was the main commercial district at the time. Back then, a buggy met all of the ships arriving at the wharf, and would transport the guests to Hides Hotel. This pioneering move was actually pivotal in the Lake Streets commercial development. We hope to welcome you back to Hides Hotel again soon! Best wishes and safe travels, Amy Davis, Sales Manager.

Do Not Even Bother !! Website photos are totally deceiving....4 ladies checked in at 2.30 & checked out at 2.45 . Kitchenette in bathroom , no door to separate. Coffee cup was dirty. Glass was filthy. Fridge door dirty. No pillow protectors-stains on pillow & pillow cases. Blankets had stains on them Floor under beds had cigarette filters, had not been swept. Yuk! Only positive was total refund immediately!

This hotel is old and it is not 5 star nor does it charge like it is so basically you get what you pay for but in saying that the room was very clean as generally was the whole hotel. Budget accommadation. All staff we dealt with were friendly enough. Would stay again especially on weekend as right opposite Rusty Markets which were great for breakfast and a browse.
