"I am very satisfied with our stay at Holiday Inn Cairns Hotel. It is close to the airport but very quiet and yet so close to everything-public transport at the doorstep, church across, seafood buffet in a nearby hotel, RSL, short stroll in nearby good restaurants (plenty to choose),weekend fresh market,short taxi ride to casino, wharf to great barrier reef, Cairns railway station to take Kuranda Scenic Railway and most of all friendly and attentive staff and wide variety of superb breakfast. Thanks to the following staff-Jovelyn from the Restaurant, Akane from the reception, the concierge and housekeeping. I will definitely come back to this hotel and will recommend this to our family and friends. "

"The location and the facility was much better than I expected. I definitely was pleasantly surprised. The room is large and it has everything you need as mentioned in the other reviews. The location is quiet and I did not feel it was unsafe at any time. It is a bit remote but the Esplanade is a 2 km walk or so and it is probably 4 to the center of Cairns. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We had a need for an additional bed and they reacted promptly to satisfy our need. They did even more. An excellent experience. Certainly not a 5 star hotel but a great value for money. "

"Upgraded to larger unit free of charge. Really helpful staff who gave honest opinions about the tourist things (what are not worth the money). Very comfortable and affordable stay (we had infant with us who had plenty of crawling room). A friend who worked a few months in Cairns recommended the Balinese restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised when we found it attached to our hotel. The food at this restaurant is great (I am a foodie). I must admit we normally don't book if a unit is part of a large hotel but I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet our unit was (it was in a corner spot so I can't speak for the other units/room. The were only about 6-8 parking spots but they were secure parking that you were provided with a pin for. Cairns is so easy to get about without a car so most spots were not used and we were able to park close to our unit. There was a share swimming pool that seemed popular but we didn't have the need for that. We were provided with 5 hrs worth of free Internet use (not wi-fi) for our 1 night stay but we didn't need that either. We certainly mad egos use of a voucher for 2 free drinks for our meals at its restaurant. Overall a very good stay."

"Great priced hotel in Cairns. Clean, comfy beds and friendly staff. Our room was facing the main street and it was noisy due to traffic. If you can, get a room facing the pool as its much quiet. The hotel is slightly far from the restaurants and the esplanade. Apart from the noise and the location, this is a great budget friendly hotel."

"My friend and I stayed for one night as we were transitting. I have stayed here over the years when it was previously known as the Cairns International. Nothing has changed seemingly. Everything is what can be expected from a 5 star hotel, superior service and quality fit out. I can also attest that another collegue of mine asked for the Presidential Suite, however it was already taken. The staff went to great lengths to cater for him in the No.2 Suite (the name escapes me). Very luxurious as you can imagine. Both rooms were on the top floor (16th) and afforded wonderful views down through the "leads" (shipping lanes) and pleasant breezes. Overall an enjoyable experience. I don't know why anyone would bother staying anywhere else whilst in Cairns."
