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...

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 ...
