I had a pleasant stay at the Cairns Colonial, particularly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and cleanliness of the rooms.

My stay at the hotel was quite frustrating due to the cleanliness issues and misleading room descriptions. The location was definitely a plus, being central and close to dining options.

My stay at the hotel was great overall! The clean rooms and friendly staff were definite highlights. The location was convenient for reaching the northern beaches and the airport, but it was a bit further out of town than I expected.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is quite convenient, and we managed to fit our family of six comfortably in the basic rooms, the overall cleanliness was a letdown. The service was helpful in some areas, but there were issues with accessibility. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again due to the untidiness and the confusion regarding the air conditioning.
