Cairns Hotels near Cairns Rainforest Dome

Pros: Bed comfortably. Shower immaculate. Position spectacular. Atmosphere awesome. Fab music and very welcoming staff. Actually as good as Japanese hostels. And they are almost perfect.

Cons: Every thing great. The view over the ocean spectacular!!!

Pros: Grear location, good cost performance.

Cons: Too noisy coz there is a constrution site nearby

Pros: I really liked this place, great location, super helpful staff (Canadian girl very enthusiastically helped me plan my trip), everything's clean and it's a nice chilled hostel for those who don't want to stay at a party hostel.

Cons: Could do with a water cooler on each floor or even just making the one downstairs accessible after 7. Only a very minor complaint though!

Pros: perfect !!!!

Cons: nothing

Pros: Excellent .. best backpackers I've seen/stayed! Hope it can be maintained as nice as it is now. Great central location. Awesome common areas with ocean view and shared facilities. Lovely helpful staff. Tour bookings very helpful.

Cons: Ocean view private front room with ensuite. Front room great view but bit street noisy in evenings Bed very basic. Could do with a better quality.. personally I'd be happy to pay extra for a better quality bed especially when already paying for a private room. Questionable alarm system- I was advised that bathroom/shower steam or even deoderant spray could set off the fire alarm! I don't agree it's fair to charge me a fire brigade call out fee of $1500 if the smoke detector alarm goes off from shower steam! (which is what I was advised). That's nonsense.

Pros: New hostel with good facilities. Everything was new and clean, good size kitchen with everything you need. Basic breakfast included. Nice terrace overlooking the Esplanade. Great location, very close to the port, Railway station 15 min away.

Cons: it was all good

Pros: Brand new, fantastic facilities. Very helpful staff and awesome location, right on the esplanade

Cons: A little bit of street noise coming through, we had a street facing room

Pros: Brand new close to everything awesome customer service and the tour desk was amazing too.great kitchen.

Cons: Not even breakfast items wish they had fruit.

Pros: From start to finish we were made to feel welcome by the friendly staff . We stayed in a Queen room with a balcony which enabled us to watch the Cairns festival Parade and Fireworks and the added bonus of watching people trying to park their cars which at times was hilarious. This was our 2nd stay here and we shall certainly be back. The top floor terrace is a fantastic place to chill out and watch the world go by and the walk in fridge is a great idea. Overall I would highly recommend Global Backpackers to anyone who wants a quality stay in Cairns without paying exorbitant hotel prices. Hats off to Cara on the front desk who always had a smile and a hello for us.

Pros: Best hostel I've ever stayed in! Super clean and bright, modern design/facilities, big kitchen, nice social areas and Netflix room, perfect location right in the centre of Cairns near the main street/lagoon, views overlooking the espanade. Felt like luxury! 10/10 would recommend!

Cons: Literally nothing I didn't like!

Pros: Roomy shower

Cons: Car parking availability would have been good

Pros: The location is fantastic (3 minute walk to all the boat tours to the great barrier, 1 minute walk to a big supermarket, several nice restaurants in the same block). The facility is super clean with big rooms, very comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. Overall a fantastic stay.

Pros: Central location.

Pros: The rooms were clean and comfortable beds.

Cons: The room had a funny window set up. Looked into the cleaning access maybe. Parking was very difficult.

Pros: The hotel was everything that we would expect for the cost: it doesn't have a bar or a dining room, but we would have had to pay a lot more for these services. All these services were available just outside the hotel, so not a concern. It was clean, comfortable, sizable rooms and very pleasant environment and excellent value for the cost. The location was very good.

Pros: Free breakfast, great location near the night markets and wharf.

Cons: Free breakfast was a nice touch, unfortunately the breakfast space was very limited, so at peak time no space to sit. Also ran out of cutlery and mugs for hot drinks!

Pros: The location was perfect for what we wanted. Doors closed noisily thought and many people didn't take care with them.

Cons: The breakfast was very limited.

Pros: The staff members were incredibly sweet and helpful (although nobody thought to tell us about the continental breakfast and what times it was being offered). The place was very clean, and right where we wanted it to be.

Cons: We didn't like how cold the unnecessary air-conditioning in the building as a whole was. We had come to Cairns to warm up, but the air con meant we were very cold. We couldn't open the "window" to let some warmer air in the room, and we didn't like staring out our window at a wall. My daughter didn't like the lights that shone in our room all night, and I didn't like the constant hum of the refrigerant our room and the air con machines (or whatever it was making the noise) below our "window". There was nothing about our room that suggested to us that we had come to the tropics (let alone to Cairns). It was a convenient place to stay, and it's always great to have lovely staff members, but we both felt that next time we would opt for something that felt, and was, warmer and more tropical.

Pros: This is a comfortable and efficiently run hotel and we loved our stay, in fact we returned to the hotel. We had a nice room away from the street, but Cairns is pretty quiet anyway. It's central to everything with lots of amenities just a stroll away, including the Feta Greek Taverna, and it's an easy walk to the marina. But it's delightfully away from the main tourist madness on the esplanade. You can walk to the cruise terminals, but I suggest a taxi if you have significant baggage. Totally recommended.

Cons: We suggested to the hotel a few little things which would improve the guest experience. They mainly relate to the breakfast,  which by the way we did appreciate and enjoy.  1 there aren't enough seats for the number of guests, we were ok but noticed some people were standing. A few more normal sized dining chairs? 2 not enough cutlery, especially knives.  3 we prefer muesli as do many, not a big problem as we went out and bought some. But would be nice if it were provided.  4 a bit more water to replenish the electric jug and coffee machine would be good.  5 when the jug and coffee maker are on at once, the power board trips out. Perhaps a short extension lead from the floor for one of these appliances. 6 it would be good to have mugs in the rooms instead of the little cups so we could have a decent sized drink of tea. 

Pros: The property was clean, with a comfortable bed and friendly staff

Pros: liked the juice bar, yoghurt tapioca options were fantastic fresh salad / ham cheese all good hot food was ok patissere / bakery items were also ok

Cons: no variety in hot food day to day over 2 days, same thing. breakfast muffin or slices / low sugar options could be better in bakery

Pros: The location is excellent able to walk everywhere

Cons: The hotel is really tired. The rooms are run down and the beds you can get better at a backpackers hostel. Breakfast buffet is average and pool area needs more seating and more atmosphere!!! Sorry but I always critique honestly

Pros: Location location location...within walking distance of the lovely waterfront with all the restaurants. The Concierge, Junko, was excellent putting together tours for us. The view from the 14 level was spectacular.

Cons: The buffet breakfast that came with the room was more than a "little tired." It was fast asleep. The pancakes and waffles were mealy and inedible. The so-called sausages were mini-hot dogs. The "to order" section was grossly understaffed so lines were long waiting for eggs to order.

Pros: Location was convenient

Cons: Smelt awful & found a large bug in my bed

Pros: Great location. Staff were excellent.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: location close to everything

Cons: rooms were outdated. No real access to drinks / food poolside

Pros: The bed was so very comfy, the room beautiful and clean. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble.

Cons: There could have been extra blankets in the rooms, as I can’t take any cold at all (medical condition), and it was a bit cool towards the morning. I was disappointed that the sauna was closed. I was looking forward to this, as it helps me tremendously ( once again, medical condition)

Pros: The stage were very helpful and nice and always got onto whatever it was we requested or needed assistance with. The staff were great and deliver great customer service, they get into it and helped with whatever I needed. . But I must say the thing I liked the most well loved was that the rooms were sooo spacious very spacious and separate room for shower with bath tub and the bathroom was spacious as well, so I loved the bathroom and how spacious the bathroom was and the room area. And also the balcony was great at night could see the casino lit up with all the lights good balcony size with great views of the casino to see the lights lit up at night. So I loved those three things, balcony,bathroom being spacious and bathtub and shower, and spacious rooms. Also bathroom has heaps of bench space to set all your toiletries and make up on which I absolutely love being a girl and beautician I could get ready really nicely and have everything set up they way I like it. Thank u Pullman and staff

Cons: just thought the rooms might need facelift and updated a bit more. Had to get a single bed put into our room when I booked for three adults as they ran out of rooms with a single for three adults. I thought this should of been organised before we checked in so I didn’t have to organise it.The bed were okay with comfortable but could of been more updated and comfortable for being the rating Pullman is

Pros: Assistant Manager Andre helped us out of a jam, he was the hero that saved our vacation!

Pros: Pool was fantastic and was suitable for adults and children. valet and concierge services were great. breakfast was delicious with plenty of options.

Cons: The shower in our room was terrible. The water shot straight out and not really down, this made the water go on the tiles and therefore water was spilling out beyond the shower curtain. The door to the balcony was so hard and heavy to open. With the beds, if you sat up to watch tv and leant on the bed head , the bed would roll away, very annoying and potentially dangerous for children. The room service menu also doesn’t cater all that well for children. I have a 4 and 1 year old and it was very difficult to feed them.

Pros: Nice hotel good staff

Cons: Went to check in and got stung with valet parking as no where to just park your car to check in

Cons: Stepping into a bath for a shower

Pros: staff were fantastic, property unreal

Pros: Very disappointing hotel more like 2 stars. Very old not Kleenex bad service. Value for money zero. Don't stay here!!!!!

Pros: Location was great - walking distance to everything we wanted.

Cons: Only there for one night so not much to not like.

Pros: Excellent Buffet Breakfast. Staff all friendly and helpful. Good pool and lovely gardens. Excellent location overlooking the Marina with access to restaurants and reef adventures.

Pros: The hotel location was excellent.

Cons: Breakfast is not included of my package.

Pros: The pool is great and the gym is exceptional for a hotel. Has proper gym gear. The location was great.

Cons: DO NOT STAY HERE. We were there for our 5 year wedding anniversary so for $211 a night were expecting an awesome stay. The room was so sterile and yet they had just been refurbished. It seems like they ran out of money 3/4 way through the refurb. The rooms have floor boards, not carpets, which is ok, but they needed some sort of rugs or something soft to break up the clinical feel. Also the walls were so bare, needed more pictures or at least a mirror. It is so stark, not luxurious like you’d expect in a 5 star establishment. The housekeeping standards are shocking and were so inconsistent. We booked a room with a king bed and we were placed in a room with two king singles zipped together. Now usually that’s ok, IF, a decent underlay is placed on the bed between the mattress and the sheet. But not in this case: it was a sheet straight on the mattress so there was a crack like the san andres fault line! We complained to the front desk when we went out at 7am only to return and the room had been cleaned yet the bed was not fixed. We complained AGAIN and this time was moved to another room, this time in the tower; obviously trying to appease us. It did for 40 mins until we went to have a glass of champagne and I poured them out only to realised that the champagne glass I was drinking from had not been cleaned properly and there was a white milky film on the bottom of my glass. I nearly vomited... I didn’t complain as they’d done their dash with me with that last thing. The new room whilst a nicer view was more of the same sterile, echoey averagness... Upon checking out I asked for the GMs email address which they said theY would email to me with my receipt... you guessed it, they didn’t send the GMs email address. I replied to the front office requesting it again, and am glad I’m not holding my breath as I would be dead. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are so many other better, newer options now, so I can’t imagine that Shangri La will last!!

Pros: Staff were helpful and friendly. Great location

Pros: Location was fantastic. Staff friendly and nice. Pool was fab

Cons: The pillows were awful The bed was on wheels so much kept moving Breakfast was average

Pros: The staff were amazing! The food and cocktails were superb. The view was spectacular, the bed was super comfy and the pillows and linen felt lovely.

Pros: We wanted to be able to relax and unwind at our first destination in Australia, this was definitely the place, the pool was very relaxing and the sunrise on the marina side was breathtaking. They had our room ready and allowed us to check in early. They also had complementary champagne and chocolates upon arrival. They also upgraded our room to a higher level so we had a better view of the bay. The location is with in walking distance to everything, including the ferries at the marina. All in all one of the best parts of our stay was the staff, they were all so welcoming, accommodating and extremely pleasant (esp Kelly and Luke!). I would definitely stay here again.

Cons: pool furniture showed some signs of wear.

Pros: The bathroom and balcony was really nice feature of the room.

Cons: The long walk each time to room. It was very exhausting especially if you had some take away food or bag packs after your long day trips around. Also, the bed were actually 2 small beds joint. I got pain in my hand in the morning sleeping into the crack. The room cleaning service was not detailed. Did not change the used glasses. Did not empty ash tray. Did not take rubbish used bottles.

Pros: Amazing location walking distance from the harbor with many shops and restaurants within the same complex. Luxurious and modern rooms without feeling pretentious.

Cons: Breakfast service was $20 and most of the buffet choices were unappetizing; the omelettes and French toast prepared on request by the chef were pretty good but overall there are likely better options around Cairns. The pool was really nice but closed unusually at 8pm.

Pros: The location is excellent. Right above the night markets close to everything.

Cons: We have not received a tax invoice for our accommodation from booking .com and require one

Pros: Perfect Location , close to everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice sized comfortable rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location.

Cons: There was a little mold/mildew on the shower curtain, possibly due to the hot/humid climate but the hotel should change those more often. Wifi is good quality but relatively expensive at $25/day. The front desk hours are only 8am - 6pm so that's a consideration as well.

Pros: All the staff were extremely friendly & courteous.

Cons: There was nothing that we didn’t like.

Pros: Excellent location, convenient to all amenities with a lovely outlook towards the harbour.

Pros: Comfortable bed and goid location

Cons: Room was noisy- could do with double glazing.

Pros: Location is excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Second time there, will do so again.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Everything was great will be back

Pros: Cyril, the front office staff member, was great from start to finish. The location and proximity to everything I needed The view of the ocean The view of the ferris wheel at night Ease of access

Cons: For privacy reasons, the bathroom curtain over the shower/spa needs to be a full circle not half There was insufficient blankets The cot bed was very uncomfortable so we tried the sofa, which was not much better so I got a decent sleep in the king but my friend did not sleep well. The view of the ferris wheel at night The car parking would have been a nightmare, very tight parks and not enough however Admin staff were very helpful in this regard The table on the balcony was rickety and I spilled a few cups of tea and coffee as a result Insufficient detergent and laundry powder given that the service is done only if you stay after 8 days The concertina doors in the bedroom did not work well and would not close up to allow full privacy of a room - remember I was staying with a friend not a partner so privacy is very important The room felt a little grubby but most likely because it is a bit dated.

Pros: Location, everything on the doorstep

Cons: Smoke detector right outside bathroom door and no extractor in bathroom
