Got there after driving to Cairns to find out my room had a broken bed! No other rooms available. Things happen but a phone call would have been nice. Lady at the counter couldn’t apologise enough.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hides, I could walk to everything within 5-10 mins, including the bus station, wharf, esplanade and night markets. The rooms are very spacious, bed was comfortable, and Woolworths is across the road! My room's big window was frosted, so couldn't see out. Only one small part of the window could be opened, so if this is a problem for you, ask first. Also the lovely pool was "broken" as the staff put it, they need to fix it ASAP. There were a few tiny ants in the bathroom, but all in all, it is fantastic value for money in a very convenient location.

This was a budget property and I think basically it was as expected for the price point. I really didn't like the lack of ventilation, but could live with it. The bed was a bit hard and pillows were really cheap and terrible. But on the good its a budget stay, the room was big and it was very clean, good size fridge and the aircon worked

The rooms were very dirty and did not look like they had been cleaned. There was hair throughout the bathrooms and the floors had not been cleaned. I did not feel safe staying in the hotel as there were people coming and going at all hours of the night and day. I ended up leaving after only staying 1 night and stayed elsewhere. I do not recommend this property to anyone.

Dear Hides Hotel! I checked out 5 days ago and the 100 AUD you took out from my account as “block pre authotization garanteed” isn’t yet back in my account!! To take the money out took 5 seconds!!! To refund it back?? How many days you need?? Why don’t you take just one dollar (like the hotel I am now in Sydney) and in case any liability to any damage you charge what is due?? I need this money and you haven’t refunded it to my account yet. Await you reply. Thank you.

Parking costs extra and is a little tricky but otherwise the hotel was in a great location, had a great balcony to enjoy, and the rooms were nice. If I had it to do over I would not have gotten a rental car and just walked - the location allows for that.

Our experience were not so good, at midnight other rooms were in partys and we can't rest, the staff was not working at this time, nobody was there. Never they cleaned our room, the have a policy about clean rooms only after 3 days staying there; we were 5 nights and they never did it. One person of the staff in the morning wasn't very friendly. Bad look.
