Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff are terrific"

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was Nice and clean will visit again surely"

Pacific Hotel Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"The elevator was a little slow but that didn’t change how we loved our stay. Great location. Lovely view from our ocean facing balcony. And the bonus was the fireworks show. Awesome stay. Highly recommend"

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, great amenities and very helpful staff. The rooms were serviced daily and items were replenished according to your preferences. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and drink and was good value for money. The hotel room was very clean. Only downside was that some elements of the hotel look a bit tired (eg the outside walls, some of the paintwork and soft furnishings) and could do with a refresh. Overall would recommend and would stay again."

Hides Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"It was fine for a cheap overnight stay"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Hilton Cairns

"The buffet breakfast is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It was excellent. The location is perfect for views and a stroll. Very comfortable beds and they have room service if you’re just too tired to go out. Loved it!"

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Quite clean and spacious. I disliked the bed having wheels. You couldn’t sit up on the bed and lean on the wall. The beds kept rolling away."

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location. Dated but functional , large clean ,rooms. No block out blinds so room is very lit up from carpark lighting at night and early morning sun through the plantation shutters common to this area. If you need darkness to sleep , bring a mask If you want fresh air ,have to jam the front door open as not opening front windows. ( room has excellent ceiling fan and good A/c )"
