Top Cairns Convention Centre Hotel Reviews

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Good hotel in fantastic location, easy walk to waterfront restaurants, ferry terminal. Premier balcony rooms on top floor were great, very spacious and awesome views. Only negative - a/c was very noisy, hard to adjust and couldn't be turned off."

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, smart TV worked fine, room was quiet, great location, staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen and laundry were features I didn’t. And it was great having a Woolworths Supermarket right next door."

Oaks Cairns Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall room and bathroom was clean and quiet even on floor 2 and near the elevator. The elevator is quite slow for a 5 floor building. Rooftop bar has nice views of the Esplanade. Around the corner from the night market food court and lots of restaurants on the same block. Location is excellent and short 5-10min walk to the pier where the tours depart for the Inner and Outer Reefs."
