Wonderful hotel it’s our go to hotel when in cairns. Right on the esplanade so no need for a car, 2 great pools and many pools on the esplanade to use. Restaurants are in walking distance and there are plenty to choose from.

This is an ideal location, right along the oceanfront promenade and very close to the docks for charters and tours. Cairns has lots of great dining options and cool things to see whether out on the reef or back in the jungle. The hotel itself has a couple of lap pools that aren't really big but okay for a cooling dunk. There is a massive outdoor public pool just steps away though. Right next door to the hotel is the night market, it is also just down the street from the aquarium and 15 minutes from the airport. Hard to find a better location. Staff was accommodating and helpful.

Good location, overpriced

Good looking hotel. Breakfast service was terrible, missing food and clean tables, clearly missing more staff! Reception on one tower, my room on the other tower far and tricky to find.

The Flynn is a lovely location on the Esplanade. Great for walking along the water. Lots of dining options in the hotel and surrounding. Splash Seafood was fantastic, as was Just Divine Gelato. Nights Markets are steps away as well!

Excellent location. Close to everything and connected to he night market and Esplanade. My complaint is that they don't wash their pillows and one of mine smelled like it was soaked in sweat, not necessarily body odour, but moreso like a wet towel, from the previous guests who used the room and they only changed out the pillow case. It was so bad I had to throw it in one corner of the room. My second room (had 2 different bookings) was a lot better. But there was a lingering musty smell coming from the decorative pillows, which I think is caused by the humidity. Tbh those decorative pillows are not needed. Theure just a waste of space.
