The Sebel Cairns Harbour Lights

Awesome friendly welcome from reception. Rooms were clean, modern and view was great from the balcony. Shower was lacking pressure and it took ages for hot ware to come through. Pool is good though it’s a long walk through the sprawling building to get there. It acould be open later than 9pm - lights turning off automatically is dangerous. Decent, perfectly ok stay but I’d shop around.

What a great location and beautiful hotel. Sharon on reception was really lovely and very helpful. I became an Accor Plus member and this meant that Sharon could upgrade us to an ocean view apartment. The apartment was huge, the bed was comfortable. The lounge and kitchen area made me feel like I was at home and not stuck in a small pokey hotel room. This accommodation has a lovely pool and gym. It’s perfectly located close to the marina area with lots of great restaurants near by. I highly recommend staying at the Sebel Harbour Lights.

Booked this for the amazing location. The beds were comfortable but the decor across the various rooms was inconsistent and lacking style to be expected. The huge living room with small tv, odd side tables and couch and two recliners with simple market style pottery on display was odd. A wall hook missing an actual painting. The kitchen cupboards when opening showed age, the slide out pantry has rust and was sticky to try and use. Overall it was just ok. It lacked love and midway through the stay the door to reception to the lifts stopped opening. The pool was great but hardly accessible. A young man using a mobility device came up and needed his support worker to help him navigate stairs - it would have been great had a ramp been available to be inclusive to all There's a lot of competition on this market. The decor really needs to be bought up to standard it felt a little thrift shop style. The four odd cushions that didn't match the lounge. The lounge!!! Why no rug? No coffee table? The weird white vase/fruit platter ? The mismatched dinner plates?

Had a great stay here, really good experience, right from checking in to checking out. Rooms were amazing, love how there is a washing machine and dryer in there as well. Location is awesome, close to everything you will need. Staff and service was great. Dec 2020 - It has been a year since I last stayed here. I am please to say, service is 10 out of 10! Staff are great rooms too are also great.

Location was very nice, it was quite expensive but I would have enjoyed it more if there was more amenities offered. Staff were friendly and quick to attend to my requests. The view from the balcony was nice, we got the harbour view for $20 extra per night. The pillow I received after room service had cleaned our room was a bit dirty, it had a bit of blood on it. I had originally booked there for a birthday and put in for a special request as a birthday, but I didn't receive anything complimentary. Also the TV channel's Foxtel didn't work, it had a "must ensure channel is paid for warning symbol. The phone to contact reception did not work, I had to contact the hotel number on my personal mobile phone. The pool was very underwhelming from the photos posted, it was a bit dirty and the spa didn't work for a bit.

Excellent service, exquisite rooms, gorgeous views. The rooms are self-contained, you have access to most things you might need when cooking. Has a mini bar that takes up a bit of fridge space if you're looking to put your own things in there, but it's ok if you rearrange some of it. We also had access to a washing machine and a dryer in our apartment which was great since we'd been traveling around to other locations before getting here.

Hannah checked us in and we had a wonderful stay. Such a lovely lady - made checking in and out a breeze. The facilities are beautiful I would highly recommend staying here in a room with a Harbour view. Car park easy to use and secure, pool and gym very nice as well. But Hannah was the stand out!

Fantastic customer service from Sharon on front desk - nothing was too much trouble from where to park my 4wd to restaurant recommendations. The Hotel does not have its own bar and restaurant but literally is connected to an esplanade with lots of bars and restaruants / tour operators. The Hotel is roughly a 5 min walk to the Night Markets and Esplanade Lagoon. I booked a basic room but still had water views. The rooms were fine (except the in-room safe was too small - couldn't fit a tablet). Hotel has a pool and gym. If back in Cairns, I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

Incredible hotel at an affordable price! The rooms are essentially furnished apartments. In fact some of the units are reserved for local tenants. The space includes a full size kitchen with utensils and all the cooking tools you need, a kitchen table, and living room with cable TV. The bathroom has a large shower and tub, and the bedroom has a spacious king bed overlooking Cairns harbor. The hotel is located on the esplanade with easy access to shops, restaurants, the marina, and the center. Everything is walking distance away including a grocery store. At night we witnessed a beautiful once in a lifetime purple sunset with flying foxes traveling across the harbor. One of our favorite scenes in Australia. Excellent value, great price, modern digs, inspiring view, and five star accommodations. Definitely a great choice when looking for a lodging in Cairns.

We requested for an upper floor room with a harbour view, which we were lucky enough to get. The Hilton next door gets a bit loud & we were facing them, but luckily our room heard minimal noise from the upper floor. We got a slight harbour view from our balcony which was beautiful. The room was spacious, clean, had a washer & dryer with detergent included, a nice kitchen arae fully stocked with utensils & pots & microwave. The bathroom was clean. The location is walking distance to Marlins Wharf which was great when we went for our diving trip.
