Great hotel and room. We stayed in the King executive room which was very spacious and had a big balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds were little unfortunately but overall I had a great experience.

I love Cairns! This hotel is very conveniently located! Australia's ecological protection is really good! The hotel is very close to the pier and the night market, and the most important thing is that the bath water is very big!
The bath water is what I am most satisfied with! The room is clean and white, the location is good, and it is convenient to take a taxi! Oh, it's really great!
Chinese people will definitely go right to book this hotel!

It seems to be a new hotel in Cairns. The room is big. The decoration is also new. The service attitude of the hotel staff is very good. It is very close to the night market and supermarkets. There are so many delicious foods at the night market. The location is very good.

The location has convenient transportation. It is within walking distance from the pier, train station, and night market. The staff at the counter are friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is also good. If I have the chance to come to Cairns again, I will choose it again

I stayed here for 4 nights with my 3 daughters and my mother. It was a very clean hotel and was open 24 hours a day, so we arrived early in the morning, left our luggage there and went out to play. The breakfast was delicious and was served from 6:30 to 10:00, which was very helpful. The location was also good, and I would like to stay at the Benson Hotel again next time!
