Location 10/10 Service 0/10 I had to work full time while staying at the Hides hotel, and unfortunately the wifi wasn’t working. (Things happens) staff kept telling us someone was looking at it, that’s untrue. We stayed 3 nights and nothing happened. I asked multiple times to cancel our stay as this was affecting my work and I needed wifi and they said « not our problem, it’s free anyway » honestly wished I never came to this place. Made me hate cairns altogether because of the horrible service. I even offered if I could get a credit for the cost that I had to pay in for SIM card. They said multiple times they would talk to their manager, either they did and management doesn’t care, or they didn’t because they knew wifi wouldn’t be fixed anyway. Garbage

You get what you pay for, this place is cheap for a reason. I stayed twice on either end of a dive trip. Both rooms were dirty - one had hair in the shower which was not mine, the other had filthy bedsheets in one bed that did not get changed when I asked the next day. Luckily I could sleep in the other bed. The shower in my second room didn't really work. The handles were outside of the shower and getting it to stay a consistent warm temperature was impossible. It was either freezing or burning, and you had to jump in and out of the water while it was transitioning between those states. My second room only had a frosted window, so one couldn't see outside at all. Then the luggage storage was a bit of a pain. Many of the lockers were out of order, one ate my money and staff were unsympathetic. The lockers only accept $2 coins, but staff don't have any change on hand and will vaguely point you towards a back. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If you're broke, stay at a hostel. Skip this dive.

The hotel had some unknown people who tried to knock on our door, a guy wearing a baseball cap with a red flower dress knocking on the door in the evening. The shower was bad, water temperature was very had to adjust. Also, the water volume is very low and hard to close, making the shower almost impossible, The aircon of room 231 did not generate any cool air. However, the staff members were very sincere and helpful though. love the location and convenience.

This seemed to be a hotel for young people staying up all night. The walls are thin adam’s people were coming and going at all hours. The shower did not have enough pressure to work properly either. Other than that it was everything we expected for the price we paid.

The lift was scary. None of the keys worked very well. Had to wiggle and giggle keys to open doors. The paid parking was very tight. I was in room 106 on 1st floor. Could hear the lift all night plus everyone going up and down stairs. The view. Well there was none except a tin roof. The staff were nice and breakfast was good for the price.

After completing a packaged tour, I needed a reasonably priced and convenient accommodation in Carins before an early bus, so chose Hides as it was close to Cairns Railway Station. My checkin experience was soured slightly as the reception would not accept "tap and go" cards for the deposit, unlike all other hotels. Once I got into the room, I was quite impressed with the facilities, especially with the bed side lamps with in-built USB charging, The room itself was spacious and comfortable, more than acceptable for an overnight stay. The location is convenient to shopping and cafes in the city. Overall would stay again.
