Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

Crystalbrook Flynn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Hotel. Clean room. Air conditioner is not that cold otherwise great stay close to all"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff Breakfast not to the standard you would expect from the Hotel brand. Rooms were aged but maintained well. Room could have been cleaned better, there was hair in the shower and diamonties on the bathroom floor from the previous guests. Advertised with mini bar, the fridge was empty, no complimentary milk or Tea/Coffee/Water. There was a coffee pod machine however. Rooms are advertised as sound proof, this is not the case. There is lots of road noise and external noises that carry into the rooms. Wasnt too bad, but it was there Was ok for a 1 night stop over."
