Cairns is a fantastic little city that is a gateway to some of Australia's beautiful natural sights. There are many tours on offer from Cairns to see the Daintree Rainforest or the Great Barrier Reef. The nightlife is good and there are plenty of restaurants and bars to refuel after big days of activities.

Cairns is both a hub of activity and a gateway to adventures within a few hours of travel.
It has an ambient climate with all the services and culture you’d expect of a much bigger city. There is so much to do in cairns and the public transport system is both convenient and well run.
There are so many adventures to be had on the Great Barrier Reef, Green Island and Fitzroy Island. Mission Beach, The Atherton Tablelands and The Daintree are all a day trip from Cairns.

Positive: Skyrail and historic train, nature, pool in Cairns, boardwalk, Botanical Gardens (absolute highlight!!!). Don't miss Emerald Creek Ice Creamery - lots of varieties and very yummy! Dundee's restaurant offered outstanding food and an incredible venue with a massive fish tank to look at while dining, it's pricey, but worth it. The Daintree is as exciting as ever. Solar Whisper Croc Cruise was really good. Daytrip to Atherton Tablelands was lovely. Rusty's market is a must! Only downside of Cairns: dining is fairly expensive in general.

We went at the start of the dry season.
We went at the start of the dry season. The weather was very warm but still humid.
Cairns central has great public facilities.
The swimming lagoon is fantastic for all ages and has surf lifesavers in attendance. BBQ cookers all along the Esplanade, excellent playgrounds.
Muddy Waters in particular, the kids went crazy.
Of course you go for the reef trips and the train trip and the Skyrail up to Kuranda village. A lovely day out in beautiful rainforest.
Port Douglas and Mossman are a drive north if you have the time, they are another must see in this scenic part of north Queensland.
A drive up onto the Tablelands opens up a different part of the area. Natural and historical attractions. It's worth the drive.

A worn and sadly lacking site.
A worn and sadly lacking site. It has all the hallmarks of investors who rake in the money but don't spend any money or maintenance and improvements. They could raise their star rating if they cared to invest in renovation., The lady at the front desk was very friendly;y. What a shame she has to represent such a sad venue.
Superb room and bathroom, all modern, well maintained and clean, hotel is right next to the marina and the lagoon / esplanade
But highlight is undoubtedly the friendly family team running the hotel. The manager Peter couldn’t have done any more to make my stay more enjoyable - from a fuss-free early check-in, to booking all my planned activities for me (at a discount - including a scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef).
Thanks again for a fantastic stay - nowhere else I would book in Cairns.
The Hotel is located in an excellent location, very near to all tourist attractions in Cairns as well as to Bars, Restaurants and the Harbor. We have been welcome by a friendly reception staff and could direct get into our room. The hotel is very clean and takes care on environmentally friendly use of products and tools / equipment. Even it is close to the neighboring bars / restaurants, the rooms are quiet. Access to the hotel guests areas are secured by suitable access control.
Really spacious apartments, we were lucky enough to get to stay in 2 of them. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows even more so.
Management were very kind, helpful and responsive. We put in more than one request and each time it was dealt with promptly and efficiently and nothing was too much.
Location was very good, close to cairns central shopping centre and a short walk to the esplanade and city centre.
We enjoyed our stay there. Love the location of hotel, walking distance to the Esplanade, city center and Cairns Central. Had a drink at Arte Wine bar and the staff there were friendly. The King deluxe room we had was lovely, with good views, clean & tidy, a variety of teas & a Nespresso coffee machine and most importantly the bed was firm and comfortable.
Wonderful location and great views from our 9th floor room. We were also impressed with the fact that there were 3 laundries and even a post box.
The esplanade with its many restaurants was nearby as was Woolworths, which was just around the corner.
When next we are in Cairns, we hope to stay at this hotel again.
Spacious room with balcony, sea view and hot buffet breakfast that's on the esplanade, has free parking and is a pleasant walk from all you need in Cairns. It's great. Only down side is that it's an old, large hotel that you could say needs modernisation but that was reflected in the price. We would use it again.
Enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable & cute property. Photos are accurate and bed is soft. Instructions to access property were clear. Location is good - short drive to town and airport. The basic breakfast they left in the fridge was a very nice bonus too! Perfect stopover for our one night in Cairns.
Pool was great, sandy beach for the young ones plus swim up bar for the adults, it was big enough to accomodate everyone. Location of hotel was within walking distance to all attractions and the Cairns Esplanade. The rooms were spacious and serviced daily and the staff were super friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect to be beside Cairns Railway Station and its mall with many shops, restaurants and services. It is not too far from the pier and Esplanade, either. The staff are nice guys with helpful attitudes. The hostel court and its rooms are pretty clean and tidy.
our room was lovely and very clean, we enjoyed the pool area and the location of the hotel was great and so convenient to the tourist hub of Cairns, the breakfast was more than adequate with a great choice and the staff in your breakfast area were exceptionally helpful.
We went to Cairns and stayed at Double Tree for 6 nights, the hotel facilities were located by the Esplanade, walking distance to nice restaurants and the lagoon, staff was very attentive, the buffet breakfast was excellent. Happy to have chosen this place.
The hotel's location is central to everything. Great to walk around and explore the near by sites and Esplanade. Will return to Cairns and stay here again! The reception staff upon checking in and on the second day were terrific!
Location right in the action of Cairns Esplanade with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Apartment great size for a family if 4.
Overall clean and well maintained for an older apartment with update Kitchen and bathrooms.
the location was great close to the shopping center and bus transport, good walking distance to the esplanade the pool was lovely I really enjoyed myself, I would love to stay here again on my next trip down to cairns.
Great location right near the Esplanade. The room was very clean and comfortable and we really appreciated the Nespresso machine. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Cairns.
Lovely location, glimpse of water, and the Cairns Wheel and Esplanade were the main view. Most comfortable for the stay.
No noise from the hospitality under the hotel, big plus.
Simple breakfast included in the hotel rate. Pretty central location, 15min walk to Esplanade, Night Market, Rusty's Weekend Market and the Cairns Central Shopping Mall.
The hotel itself is possible the most beautiful in Cairns with a magnificent lobby and entry. The refurbished rooms were gorgeous and the Harbour view was amazing!
