I stayed in the Cairns at the harbour lights for one night with some family in a one bedroom apartment. Overall, I would recommend the hotel purely based on the location. I would certainly agree with other reviewers that the design of the building is rather sterile and clinical.. However on the upside it is very clean,the one bedroom apartment... more

What can I write about this hotel and make it sound interesting ... hmm not much. The thing about this facility is that I expected something more, and it was sooo UN-everything! Yes it’s new and yes the location alone is perfect for those people looking for the views and the water front of what Cairns city is. However as... more

Odd hotel. Very good location right on the harbour a few blocks from central Cairns. Room was quite sterile with the smallest TV I've ever seen tucked way up in the corner. May be worth splurging for the 1 bedroom suite which has a living room. I understand the company mainly manages apartments which may explain why the whole place... more

Stayed for 6 nights at Aus$170 per night, while attending a conference at the convention centre which is only 5 mins away. The hotel is located right next to the marina where the boats that cruise to the reef leave from. So the view is excellent, and there is a small amount of noise but not much. I stayed in... more

We booked into the studio harbour view for one night. It is perfect for a quick stay; everything was clean, the King bed was comfortable and the bathroom is reasonably sized. The balcony overlooking the harbour is lovely. When they say "harbour view" they really mean it as the hotel is placed directly in front of the harbour, and you... more

We stayed at the Sebel Harbour Lights hotel in a studio room for 3 nights in September. We arrived early in the morning and although our room would not be ready until the early afternoon, the receptionist was helpful in storing our bags and discussing activities with us that we could do that day. When we got to our room... more

We booked a 1 bedroom apartment for 5 nights whilst on a recent visit to Cairns after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. Check-in was straightforward although it would have been a nice touch if the girl in reception had smiled at least once during the process. Perhaps she was having a bad day ? I can understand now why a... more

We stayed a this hotel for two nights after having spent some time in Cape Tribulation. We were happy to spend a little more for a treat and so we opted for a harbour view. (It was a studio room because we didn't see the point in spending money on a kitchen etc, when we knew we were going to... more

This hotel is located right by the water and we got a studio that had a harbour view. Everything is very upscale and modern. I felt very pampered especially after my stay on the liveaboard the night before. The only downside was the tiny tv. I couldn't believe the tv was so small even after reading other reviews about it.... more

We stayed here for one night on our way home to Sydney after 4 nights at the Sea Temple in Palm Cove and 5 nights at Peppers in Port Douglas and after the luxury of these resorts this was a shock to the system! We booked a one bed apartment and the first room we were given must have been... more
