Top Cairns Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room great view"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"It is centrally located, no need for driving. Everything is within walking distance."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Very close and central to all amenities"

Bohemia Resort Cairns

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and accommodated our group well. The stove, TV, and fridge were all working properly. Having two toilets and a bathroom was also very convenient and useful for the number of guests in our group. Secure parking within the property was another positive, although there were not enough parking spaces available. Unfortunately, the unit felt quite outdated and appeared to need better maintenance. The beds were uncomfortable and seemed to be sinking, and the shower head could not be adjusted or moved. One particularly disappointing experience was when we asked for milk and coffee at around 7:00 am. We were told by the staff that no service was available until 8:00 am. Overall, while the unit was spacious and had some useful amenities, the outdated condition, lack of maintenance, uncomfortable beds, limited parking, and poor early-morning service made our stay disappointing."

Crystalbrook Flynn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, however the TV placement on the wall was not right. It was on the side of the bed not in front of it."

Crystalbrook Bailey

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay"

The Lakes Resort Cairns

8/10 Good

"The Resort was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was oldish and wasn't exactly clean i.e. mould in bathroom/toilet and kitchen cooktop. But overall, for the price, it was a huge apartment and we enjoyed our stay :)"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Loved the deck overlooking the Esplanade and easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc."

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

"The hotel is very cosy, and we were given a lovely room. We’re really happy with it! 😊"
