Stayed 4nights. The A/C unit in the room stopped working, and it made excessive noise on the day it got repaired. Anyway, everything was sorted out on the second day promptly. Although I experienced the issue with the A/C unit, I’ll 100% stay Hilton Cairns again if I visit Cairns for any reasons. The managers and staff at Hilton went the extra miles to ensure my comfort while I was there. Truly amazed how they did and what they did. Stayed over 50 nights at many different hotels this year, but only Cairns Hilton is the place I want to stay again. (One of the hotels I never visit again is ‘Hilton Surfers Paradise’) Thank you.

Rooms seem very small. Had to enter the hokey pool area(no bar, no anything) from the third floor stairway. Went to have a drink mid afternoon and there were jackhammers so loud it was horrid. No doormen in front of hotel to assist w bags etc….the whole program there seems run down and the service is terrible. we were set to return there but i immediately changed to the Shangri La.

We had an ocean view room for four nights. Outstanding view of the water. The room was fresh and nicely appointed. Plenty of horizontal space for luggage, toiletries, and other things. Extremely comfy pillows and bed. Well-trained staff who are happy to assist you. Breakfasts were great with a wide variety of tasty hot items, breads and pasteries, yogurt, fruits, rice, self-serve pancakes and all the rest. In a safe area with a wide variety of restaurants and shopping within walking distance…Loved our stay there and will go back at the earliest opportunity!
