My wife, myself and our three children only stayed one night at the Sofitel in Cairns but had a wonderful evening and following morning. the rooms were great (we had two ajoining rooms) and the room service superb. Cleanliness and quality of staff was impeccable. The morning we left the hotel we visited the zoo in the dome above the... more

Ditto many of the comments. We enjoyed our time here. Clean, friendly helpful staff, positioned well within walking distance to the city centre. We were able to wander along the Esplanade and pick a different place to eat nightly. Room was spacious , great view from the balcony and if considering an A class hotel then we would definately recommend... more

As with all the other reiviews, we found this to be an excellent hotel. Large bedroom and bathroom, with a great view of the river.

Attention to detail was great, the buffet dinner was delicious, the facilities, the pool, the gym were all fantastic!! I cant rave enough about this hotel. more

Absolutely faultless. Great location. Short walk to anything you need. The bed. Oh my god the bed. It was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Friendly and helpful staff and a very affordible room service menu if you felt lazy. Other review I read was that they found parking confusing. $5 a night parking or $8 for... more

A great hotel - the other reviews are right on with their comments. Very helpful and professional staff in the foyer. Fantastic large rooms with good air-conditioning (the aircon control was a little hard to find, tucked away in the closet), with adjustable sliding louvered doors. The bed is very, very good, firm but with a 75 mm pillowtop that... more
