    Bathroom was really small and curtain rail was broken.

    I really like the breakfast buffet. I didn’t expect to eat some porridge.

    Nothing.

    The room was excellent although the toilet flush had a few problems. These were resolved in my absence without any report needed to be made. All in all a good experience. The breakfast was good value .

    Pool bar is not staffed and often had to chase a member of staff to be able to buy food and drink poolside. Kids would have also liked an option of pancakes for buffet breakfast

    Location was great

    Air conditioning in room made everything feel damp so was difficult to dry things when it rained and we were unable to adjust settings on the controls.

    Breakfast was lovely and take-away boxed for day of departure worked well for us. Extras such as cookies on arrival, ponchos & use of towels was also helpful. Reception staff were friendly and extremely helpful e.g. refilling water bottles was a nice touch.

    Wonderful Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns
    • Leisure trip

    • King Room

    Curtains didn’t completely cover windows - not serious but allowed light into the room at sunrise.

    Room was spacious and we had a lovely view of the esplanade and water from our balcony. Best pool area we’ve experienced in Cairns with sun all day so water was a great temperature and plenty of sunbeds - would stay again for this reason alone. We took up the upgrade offer to a water view/balcony room for a very small cost. Bed very comfortable and bath towels huge and fluffy. Enjoyed the updated bathroom. We didn’t eat at the hotel but enjoyed the biscuits. The hotel has a nice tropical vibe. Location was perfect with only a short stroll to cafes, restaurants, bars, Aquarium and lagoon. Check in/out was a breeze and staff very professional. Very good value and we hope to return soon.

    The house keeping service was not what was expected, rooms were made everyday, however the bathroom shower and sinks were not cleaned and the carpets in the room were not vacuumed. We even found a sowing needle when our child got pricked by it in the foot. The room we were given was run down with the laminates on the furniture chipping, and had to pay extra for a room which was a bit more fresh n refurbished.

    The location was perfect, the staff were exceptional and helpful in every aspect.

    The internet connection was not accessible. We followed the instructions given to log onto the hotel internet, but it didn't work. We ended up using our own 5G internet connection from our own service provided.

    We like the spacious room. In addition, the location of the room is quiet, which makes our stay wonderfully comfortable and relaxing. Most of all, the hotel staff were immensely helpful and friendly.

    A hotel charging $10 per day for WiFi in 2024!!!! We're nearing the end of a two month road trip of NZ and Australia and have stayed in 28 different places, all of which provided free WiFi except the Doubletree.

    The breakfast facility could be made beautiful by upgrading its tables, chairs and carpets and offer a wider selection. But still lovely.

    A tropical style, well positioned and well maintained neat hotel located in prime position in Cairns within 5 min walking distance to the Esplanade, bustling restaurants and bars. Magnificent sea views from our room. Couldn’t have been happier with our upgrade to a top floor sea facing ocean front room! Loved the layout! And the walk in shower. Thank you to the staff who were always smiling, helpful and willing to give you free cookies every time my husband visited the reception desk.

    Tiny things, such as could be a smart TV, but the size was perfect. Bathroom maybe could be a bit updated but was functional and absolutely fine

    Incredible staff on the front desk, who were really friendly and went above and beyond for you. They welcome you with a hot cookie, too! Their is a concierge there too to help with day trips etc Location is also excellent, with everything in walking distance from the hotel! Now the room, it was a big room with plenty of space, nice desk area and a decent bathroom without being extraordinary.
