Pullman Cairns International

Clean rooms, staff were helpful, breakfast was included in our room and had a great selection.

This is a really nice hotel that was a pleasure to stay in. Our room was large with a great view. The bed was very comfortable with good pillows. The bathroom was spacious and I really liked the Bigilow shampoo and conditioner. We thought the breakfast buffet at $35 was a really good deal. Large variety of items and an omelet bar and juice bar. The pan of scrambled eggs was a little weird tasting—entirely made of eggs? But everything else was great. Overall completely happy with this hotel. Very convenient location and very plush inside.

Sometimes you just want to splurge a little on accommodation, so I went with a bit more upscale with Pullman Cairns International and selected a room with balcony and view of the bay. Room was clean and spacious, with a bathroom that had a bathtub and shower. A nice firm bed and plenty of flat surfaces to put your things. And with refrigerator too. Thank you to Larissa at the front desk for assigning me a great room that is quiet and comfortable that I didn't feel like going out (almost). Breakfast is buffet style and was $35AUD if you book it the day before, but it had many options. And well worth it if you want the convenience. Location is close to the pier (for Great Barrier Reef cruises, etc.), and within walking distance (10-20 minutes) to the night market, farmer's market and train station. Not to mention restaurants and stores nearby. Definitely worth a look for luxury and convenience.
