Hides Hotel Cairns

Close to all restaurants, hotels wtc

There was no balcony as the pictures suggested when booking, was not happy. Windows were obscured. Air con was fine. No spoons, just icy pole sticks to my cup of coffee. One very thin blanket to add to bed.

Close to a central street but very basic

Staff very helpful , really good location , close to restaurants , bars , cafes and supermarket , however , locale can be a bit “iffy” . Hotel needs work , starting to look run down in places . Overall still reasonable value for your dollar .

Appreciate the location of the property. You get what you pay for. Thank you regardless for the room stay.

Only stayed for one night..room was clean however dusty..when turned on the shower it either went too cold or too hot not a good experience...had no water in fridge for the price. Could not access the hotel kitchen for water. Location was good...but would not return for another stay

Amazing, great location

Terrible hotel: not clean, in need of an update and very rude front desk.

That’s a terrible experience that you should avoid at any cost. The facility (not a hotel as you may think) looks like an abandoned building with more or less functioning amenities. No wifi, and rooms aren’t cleaned up upon request (holding the “cleanup tag” at the door knob). On the other hand, guests to the hotel seem to have a common attitude of screaming and shouting in the middle of the night - not sure why, hence wall isolation is extremely poor. Overall bad experience and I had to put my phone in rooming during my stay to access the internet (had to pay $20/day), which could be spent on a decent hotel nearby

Great value for money. Close to everything. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Have stayed before and will stay again.

Breakfast was a bit simple.

Loved the elevators and lovely staff

Not family friendly

Often stay at Hides because it is so central. I’ve been staying there for at least 30 years. It’s a bit jaded but ok. I do object to paying about $170 a night and only have the room serviced once in 4 days. No butter at breakfast the last day. But I am fond of the old thing and will continue to patronise her!

You get what you pay for...hotel is in the center of the city with esplanade, eateries and ferry station close by ...but lacks in other areas.

Late check in with no hassles. Close to all facilities and eating spot.

Located centrally in Cairns means walking everywhere is easy. Great hot shower, reasonably comfy bed, ceiling fan to reduce humidity and air con. Television didnt work, even after technician visit. Basic breakfast but seating on balcony was great start to another day in the tropics

Budget hotel, location is not bad, stuff at the front desk not friendly

Don’t stay here. It’s like being in prison. There is nothing “hotel” about it. Dirty room, covered with mould and stains and rust. Bathroom is just disgusting with shower that constantly drips, shower curtain that is disgusting, rust, dirt, hair. Who knows what diseases are in there. A/C may as well not exist. Room is so hot even with whatever ac unit it is turned on and fan on. Beds smell. Extra pillows were given but definitely had not been laundered, smelt dirty and unwashed. Honestly stay away. We were three people staying in a room and one left early to check into the Novotel. The other two were checking out the next day anyway and left early to go sit at the airport. Towels were dirty. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. It’s just grim, prison like, hot, dirty, stuffy, mouldy and rusty.

Room was comfortable and breakfast was nice n fresh
