The Benson Hotel

We booked The Benson Hotel for its proximity to the Convention centre. The hotel has been beautifully renovated. The room itself was clean, beds very comfortable, fabulous pillows. The bathroom is well appointed with a lovely shower with great water pressure! The exhaust in the bathroom worked well enough to shave after showering without having to wipe the mirror. It's worth mentioning because 95% do not! The lifts are ok. The Restaurant and bar are very nice... The food was great. The second night we stayed (Sunday) the bar and restaurant were closed😒, But the Benson sits in a good Location, there are some great choices for food and drinks in the area. I have just one other "knock" parking pricing of $25 a night??? tad steep!

We loved it here,was in a great spot,close to everything to walk round and sight see. Beautifully decorated,the staff were amazing and helpful. The breakfast was lovely,well worth it. We will definitely stay here again. We stopped here overnight on the way to japan and stayed on the way back for a few days. It was a great way to wind down and relax after our big trip. Nice and close to the airport, too, so it was affordable to get a taxi with all our luggage. The bed was amazingly comfortable,the room was spacious, and the bathroom was beautiful .

I recently stayed at the Benson Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly lovely and helpful, making me very welcomed. My room was beautifully decorated, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The pool was a fantastic spot to relax, and the bar and restaurant offered an amazing dining experience. I highly recommend the Benson Hotel for anyone looking for a luxurious and enjoyable stay!

Absolutely fantastic will definitely stay there again. They went out of the way and specially arranged halal options for us for breakfast which was sooooo nice of them. Room service would make up rooms daily and provide fresh towels. Had a small accident and they had first aid kit with cleaning wipes and bandages. Rooms were big and spacious. The luggage rack with hanging rails and hangers was absolutely amazing and kept all our things organised. I'm so happy they had all different kinds of pillows on the beds so you could choose which profile you liked. Rooms have balconies which is great. Good view of city.

The location was very central. Most popular attractions or places are walkable. Bed was very comfortable, and fresh towels are provided each day. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked about where to go out in Cairns.
