Just returned from 5 nights at this property while attending a conference in the convention center. Despite some of the more negative older reviews I must agree with the newer ones to say that my stay was very nice with essentially no problems. Others have noted that the rooms are showing some age although I found my accomodation (5th floor)... more

I agree with LyleSF's comments about this hotel. Over the years I have stayed at a handful of Cairns hotels. Based on these experiences, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the Hilton. While the rooms definitely need a major facelift, the view from our waterfront room on the fourth floor was just what the doctor ordered. I instantly... more

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in the Premier Suite as a treat for the start of our holiday and we both loved it. The room (930) is on the top floor and has great views of the inlet in Carins. The room is huge with a large dining room and lounge, kitchenette and separate bedroom. There is a... more

Many Hilton properties have aged from an average 4-star+ rating to 3-3.5. Combined with a plethora of poor reviews on TripAdvisor, my expectations of the Hilton Cairns weren't very high. I booked for its convenient location and very reasonable price on Expedia. Happily, I was satisfied with the hotel. Yes, it could use a good facelift. Yes, the bathrooms have... more

I'm a little surprised by some of the bad reviews. My wife and I and our two teenagers stayed for one night only recently after we just came off a two day Liveaboard ship for some scuba diving in the Barrier Reef. The reason we chose this hotel was it's proximity to the Marina where most of the ships leave/arrive;... more

We were in need of some sunshine and were lucky enough to have great weather. The hotel was clean and quite modern. The staff were friendly, especially at breakfast. We got to watch the sunrise over the mountains on the morning we got up early for our reef tour. It was a really short walk from the boat to the... more

I stay in hotels about 75 nights a year and this is absolutely the worst of any I've stayed in. The rooms are horrible with mold and rust rampant throughout the facility and tons of ants. It was so bad that I poured two ants out of the coffee pot one morning and, needless to say, don't even think about... more

We recently stayed at the Hilton Cairns. Thinking we would treat ourselves with some 5 * luxury. Well what a joke that was!!. The Hotel is old and dated. They have tried to update the main entrance and foyer......but it generally looks tacky. The rooms are dated and stale smelling. The bathroom had mould stained in the grout and although... more

the hotel is nice and modern but they try and charge extra money for everything! also ants in our room lots of them. more
