Comfort Inn Cairns City, a 4-star hotel near airport, is located 5-8 minutes' drive from Cairns International Airport. The property is one block from the Cairns waterfront and within a 5-minute walk of the city center and Cairns Esplanade. Taxi or Uber services are available for transfers, with fares ranging from $10 to $25.

Modern Accommodations

The triple room features modern furnishings, a bathroom with shower and bathtub, air conditioning, and ceiling fans. Rooms in a quiet area of the property offer pool views and a 2-seater sofa. All accommodations include free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and private facilities.

Onsite Dining

YUM SING, the onsite restaurant, serves authentic Chinese and Asian cuisine with signature dishes like steamed dumplings and Sichuan pepper beef. The chefs use fresh ingredients to create simple yet flavorful meals. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday.

Recreation & Tours

Guests can enjoy two outdoor swimming pools and explore nearby attractions like the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. The hotel offers tour assistance for activities such as hot air balloon rides. The Cairns Esplanade swimming lagoon is within easy walking distance.

Guest Services

Comfort Inn Cairns City provides free on-site parking, a laundry room, and a safety deposit box. The reception desk is open from 8 AM to 6 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 4 PM on weekends. Additional amenities include family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.

“The recent refurbishment seems to be a smart move, bringing a fresh feel to a property that puts you within a short walk of the Cairns Esplanade swimming lagoon and its many nearby activities; plus, I noticed the pick-up service for local tours departing directly from the premises is a nice perk. What stands out is the Asian cuisine restaurant, Yum Sing, as it brings a unique flavor to the stay. Ultimately, I think it's a solid choice, especially if you're after convenience.”
