Hilton Cairns

This is possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Get the king with the ocean view. This is right on the marine so any Great Barrier Reef excursion or any other excursions leave from this hotel. The staff is the best ever. Getting water for a CPAP or any other request was promptly provided. Get the breakfast. You want it. This is the best brekkie on the continent. The lady in charge is magnificent and you will thank me for the breakfast trust me. The ocean view is spectacular.

The staff are the highlight of this hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. I found the Hilton Cairns to be very relaxing and comfortable. It is certainly well-located near the oceanfront promenade. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone and the hard-working staff were most cheerful and accommodating. I liked the design of the hotel as it incorporates the rainforest effect, which is in keeping with the Cairns vicinity. I also enjoyed access to the executive lounge, which while not over the top was pleasant enough. Management might consider investing in some exterior upgrades as the hotel is showing signs of age (mold/rust on walls and beams). I’m sure that due to the humidity in this area, exterior finishes need much maintenance. I would certainly return to the Hilton on a future visit.

A decent 2 night stay here prior to heading to the Great Barrier Reef- great location as the hotel is minutes away from the Reef Terminal. Used the e-stby upgrade to go from a double double room to deluxe double double room - well worth paying for this as the views are stunning. Hotel provided us exec lounge access, which was great for evening drinks and nibbles and saved walking looking for a bar in the almost unbearable heat of Cairns! Only issue we had was the air con in the room wasn’t very good, the hotel did send an engineer up and further offered us to move rooms, but we got by with a very powerful fan. Two double beds were very comfortable and the Nespresso is the room was a welcome addition. Great to see filtered water available on each floor, to reduce single use plastics. Breakfast was really good, $10 upgrade per person for Gold from continental option, but great coffee and such a good selection of foods and juices. All the staff were met were so helpful and welcoming. A great hotel, happy to recommend and would love to return.

Hotel is close to boardwalk, cruise boats and the esplanade. Check in and out was easy. All staff are eager to assist. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Great views from the rooms. Close to restaurants and shopping, all within walking distance. This is my go-to hotel in Cairns.

For a standard Hilton Hotel, this was excellent. The rooms were comfortable. The hotel was clean, and we had absolutely zero complaints about our view. While it isn't a "luxury five star resort" it easily gets five stars from me in its class. We were close to everything, especially the docks for our morning meet on a scuba trip. There were great restaurants nearby, as well as shopping, and our other tours picked up nearby as well. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, and stay here again if we were to ever return.
