Top Northern Australia Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good
"This was great hotel, in a fantastic location. We had a balcony room at the front of the building and it had a great view. My only criticism is that breakfast finishes very early for a hotel that is in a holiday location but we did find plenty of options around the city. Over all great hotel in a good location with friendly and helpful staff."
