Reviews of Hilton Cairns
Jet Blast
Thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality. Staff were all friendly and warm, always willing to help. The property sits right next to the water and offered an amazing view of sunrises and sunsets. It is also environmentally very conscious. Many thanks to the staff of Hilton. Thank you to Mana who attended to me at the poolside cafe, keep up being cheerful and helpful.

We recently dined at the Hilton in the bar area and it was a fantastic experience. The view was amazing, right on the waterfront and the food was great too. We ordered a lot of smaller style meals and they didn't disappoint. The Karaage Chicken was a favourite as were the pizzas. Service was friendly and efficient; the staff checked in regularly without being intrusive. A couple staff made a last...

Checked in at 15.15 no problems but others in our 37 strong tour group did. (Room not ready, other people's luggage in your room, door cards not working.) Room was nice and clean. Bathroom mirror fogged up quickly as not as much ventilation as the main room making shaving awkward. The fridge was a nightmare, on the lowest setting it managed to freeze solid anything you put in it! Lots of choice...

We had a memorable stay. Whilst the building could do with a refresh, the service in all areas of the property was exceptional. There wasn’t one bad experience and everyone was always willing to help. The breakfast was lovely. The location was perfect for us because we went on several tours from the marina was it was really easy walk. Thank you Hilton Cairns, you were exceptional.
