Top Cairns Esplanade Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cairns

Hilton Cairns

8/10 Good
"Great view with a waterfront balcony. Front desk crew were “ok”. The dining room staff were great. Breakfast buffet included a self-serve juicer which included beets, apples, carrots & more for fresh juice. Loved that - we don’t usually find that at most hotels. Location is great - just around the corner from many restaurants and the wharf. Entire area is very walkable. Hotel is mostly clean. Hallway tiles and room doors look tired but rooms are clean, bed comfortable and water hot. Enjoyed the great water pressure with the shower head provided. Very good experience!"
