Hello, It is disappointing to receive your review. To improve our service, we wold welcome more detailed feedback. Please feel free to email tours@hideshotel.com.au with more information so that we can work towards rectifying any issues.
Neat and tidy room & comfortable bed. Parking frustrating which had to be accessed from another street. I could hear shenanigans from Hotel next door until early hours of morning. After booking made I was advised there was a $100 deposit. Extra costs should be made aware up front. Won’t ever stay here again.

Hello Anonymous, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It is pleasant to hear that your room and bed were comfortable. We have just had the pleasure of hosting numerous competitors who were in town to take part in the Cairns Ironman Event. Hides Hotel offers limited secure parking and being at capacity over this period, parking was quite full. Due to the way our historic hotel was constructed, the driveway is indeed located on Grafton St which is the next street behind us. This is something we are unfortunately unable to rectify. Our central location means that we are in proximity to some of the local late night venues. If you had approached our 24 hour reception staff at any stage to advise, we could possibly have provided you with another room location. Hides Hotel, like the majority of Cairns properties does charge a $100 security bond. This is located on the fine print of your booking information. We will pass on your feedback to request this information is enlarged and clearer for future guests. We hope you enjoyed your time in Cairns and wish you the best.
There is no information on the extra cost of parking and also they want a $100 deposit for no reason as there is no mini bar or the like

Dear Anonymous, On the website WOTIF which you have booked through for your stay you would have seen that parking comes with a surcharge which implies that there is a cost for off street city parking of $10 per night. The deposit of $100 covers costs of damages to the room or property of the hotel.
In excellent walking distance to everything to central cairns. The property itself is old but it’s fine for short stays. Attracts a lot of the young backpacker crowd so can get noisy late at night when they come back from the clubs. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Dear Ian, Thank you very much for your feedback. We just had the new part including the balcony refurbished but we will be working to keep the old charm of our heritage side up to date.
When it said shared bathroom I didn’t realise it was with the whole level. Having to leave your room to go to the toilet and to shower is a pain. My lap top is bigger than the tv, and street noise was woefull. Can do a whole lot better in Cairns for $109.00,

Dear Anonymous, We are sorry to hear you had an unpleasant sleep from external noise. I am unsure which room you were staying in and am sorry I could not assist you. We are aware of the street noise and are in the process in trying to correct this. Please note that our shared bathrooms are rarely being used by our guest at the same time and therefore are not busy. Our friendly reception staff is always there to help with any issues. We do hope to see you again.
So central to all aspects of the city. Walking distance to everythng. All staff were so pleasant and easy to chat with. Would definitely come back again.
