“Perfect”
We were very pleased with this hotel. The staff is very friendly, rooms were clean and the foyer was simply stunning. The breakfast buffet was also yummy. we enjoyed lazing by the pool all day.
“Up scale, Clean, convenient and friendly hotel.”
I wish to have a continental breakfast included. We paid premium through Expedia for the trust and convenient. We hoped there is an option to have fast and cheap breakfast during our busy travel schedule.
“Sebel Hotel Cairns”
Excellent location for walking around cairns , will stay there again next time we visit.
“Happy Holidayer”
Excellant hotel, polite staff, most proffessional, great pool area, food was terriffic, and would recommend to anyone.
“Would stay again. Great hotel.”
A very nice, quiet and classy 5 star hotel, just off the Esplanade. The rooms were large, modern and clean. Nice pool and they have self laundry facilities as well...a must in hot and humid Cairns. We didn't use their restaurants, but there are dozens within a few blocks. We had the concierge rent a car for us and that was also no hassles. Would definitely recommend it or stay there again.
“Good property in fairly central location.”
Good clean central property with good views of waterfront (harbourside room) LIfts a bit wobbly on the higher floors. Pool and spa great after a hot days touring - would have been nice to see the pool bar open in the afternoons 4-7pm ish. Beds very comfy but short - my toes hung over the end of the bed and I'm only 5'7". Shower was over bath which is a bit outdated in my view, - but the water pressure was wonderful! Little balcony very cute with COMFY chairs - congrats here!
“can't wait to come back”
only thing is they charge very very expensive if you dail directly from the landline
“Fantastic”
It was beautiful, well priced, and the service was fantastic.
“Great place central to everything”
This was the first time I have stayed in a Sebel hotel and would recommend it from my experience. The hotel is located walking distance to most everything I wanted to go. The staff was prompt and friendly.
“Amazing location, close to everything!”
The Sebel was an affordable stay at a very classy hotel. The location was perfect being minutes away from the city, night markets and casino but was also a short walk to the reef terminal where day tours were leaving regularly.
