Helpful staff. Relaxing ambience. A reasonable price with such location - 5 mins walk to promenade
The staff were really good and anything we asked of them did not appear to be any problems for them, also very friendly. The only downside as we had twin singles x 3 and the beds were fairly small with most of the guys legs hanging over the end, apart from that all good
Great hotel, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Good location and very nice rooms with loads of space and great bathrooms with fantastic showers!

Pleasant stay with excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Highly recommended!
The hotel is low-rise and close to the road. Our room faced the road and was over the loading area, making for lots of noise in the early morning (bins being emptied and trucks making deliveries). The room was fitted out as pictured and clean. A strip on the bottom of the door would stop the light coming in from the corridor (we used a towel to block the light). The selection of tv channels was eclectic.
Great welcome at reception. Very helpful and friendly.
Room was clean and bed was very comfy.
Good selection of drinks available.
Restaurant closed for refurb but plenty of food options nearby
Evan is a fantastic host and I look forward to returning to Mercure very soon.
Cheers

The restaurant is under renovation, disappointing to
Not have access to food / drinks around the pool. But staff were friendly and hotel in a good area close to everything.
We had an awesome stay. Staff were very friendly and room was very clean and comfortable. My only negative would be we booked 2 rooms both for 2 adults and 1 child, and only had 2 bath towels in each room. Otherwise it was a great stay. We will definitely be back.
The Mercure is well positioned, only a short walk to the Esplanade and the train station for our trip to Kuranda. The staff were lovely, we had dinner 2 nights, having the specials available on those nights which we enjoyed. We also had breakfast 3 mornings which we also enjoyed. The meals/pool area was a great place to relax. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay again when next visiting Cairns.
Dated, noisy but convenient location for the aquarium and night markets. I personally won't stay here again as there are plenty of other options for a cheaper price
Overall it is a great hotel. Love the large sized family room. Wifi connection on TV’s didn’t work. Unable to access Netflix’s etc in room.

Clean and contemporary however. Lovely family room with adjoining bedrooms and a kitchen. Great shower. We chose it as we wanted to turn up and eat there prior to an early flight next day snd restaurant was being renovated and we had to walk out of the hotel grounds to get to the pool. Advance warning would have been nice.
