Top Michaelmas Cay Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Hilton Cairns. Perfect location. We stayed on the 8th floor we water views, which gave us access to a seperate room offering a small Buffet breakfast every morning and canapés, beer and wine in the evening. Absolutely loved this option as the dinning room downstairs is full and the food, drinks and a Harpist on the Saturday was a lovely touch. Comfy bed was a big bonus too."

Hides Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Terrace balcony a great place to hang bourbon and for breakfast."

The Oceanfront Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Property is very clean. Bathrooms have been redone."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Balcony good but trip hazard going out room big step from room doorway. Cup rings on bedsides from previous guests so not cleaned that well. Good view on Esplanade but very noisy at night from people partying on the esplanade. Hospital close so got helicopter noise. "

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very central to everything"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot great hotel big room"

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"So central and convenient place to stay. The pool deck was amazing, the staff are great as well. Loved my stay and would book again."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel and staff were nice. Location was about 30 mins walking from the pier and 8 min drive from airport. This meant it was a relatively quiet area (sometimes planes overhead). Pluses: a shuttle runs to the center 4 times a day, (unheated) pool on site, and free parking lot off street Negatives: only one outlet in the entire room (under a table). Mattress was a little lumpy and bathrooms a little dated - but not terrible."
