"Short but magical stay - loved the historic building, the courtyard and pool were wonderfully social, and the location could not have been better for getting to a world class chamber orchestra performance; wide ranging street food; and boarding the Spirit of Queensland train for an epic journey south.

"The location was perfect—right on the marina and close to all the activities around the reef and shopping plus parks and restaurants. The staff were amongst some of the friendliest and most helpful we’ve had on our travels!"

We had the king suite. Our room was very spacious and clean. The mountain views were nice. Air conditioning works great. There is Beam e-scooter hire parking at the front of the hotel. The bar is nice.
Only tip to know is sometimes when you swipe your room key, if turning the handle down doesn’t work try turning it up (counter clockwise) something the front desk told us after we had trouble.

Wonderful location for a Cairns stay. Have been to Cairns several times and stayed at various hotels and found The Benson to be in the best location, easy to walk to dining options and to the marina or Cairns Central etc.

The hilton hotel is very clean and beautifully scented from the moment you went through to the lobby/room.
I had hot water issues as in there wasn’t any and they did take awhile to fix issue.
I was told in the end to leave shower on for 10 minutes and the hot water should be through. What an awful amount of water to waste.

Stayed 6 nights in an Ocean View Suite - our room was very clean, a really good size and had fantastic views from the balcony. Great location - an easy 5-10 walk down the Esplanade into the centre of Cairns with lots of restaurants on the way. Friendly and helpful staff. Great value considering the size of the room and location. Would definitely stay again when we're back in Cairns

I will absolutely stay here again. The kitchen had everything I needed. Loads of space for a one bedroom and clean. Great shower, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, balcony and pool. Easy to catch a bus into the city. Afodable. Just loved it here. Thankyou.

It's perfect for kids and we all had a great weekend. You can let the kids go and feel safe as to their whereabouts. Rooms were clean and well presented and the staff were a great help.
Between the two pools, waterslide, water play park, large play ground, two jumping pillows, mini golf and the weekend movies on the big screen they were rather busy.

I wanted a relatively low cost, comfortable room within walking distance to all areas in Cairns CBD. I tend to self cater, so having basics in the room for this was good; also 5 min walk from shopping centre. The experience catered well for my needs.
