I stayed for 7nights at the Cairns Harbourside Hotel (some of the days was for a seminar). I found the staff to be very friendly, helpful and accommodating with requests.

Yes I would stay again. Picture from my balco...

I was only here for 2 nights but everything was great! Booked a room with an ocean view and got some of that.

Right next to the boardwalk which is where I spent most of my time. Comfy beds. Spacious too! As a solo traveller I felt safe inside ...

Great location and lots of shuttle options for tours and such. T...

Non working bathroom light on the first night was promptly fixed the next day. A lamp was supplied to be able to use ...
