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"

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Well, what can you say, you pay for what you get, it's a good hotel, the staff are lovely, unfortun1tely, the room is not what on the advertised photos, we have been here for four days and never had our room done, towels replaced etc, the room door doesn't have a chain or extra security on it, also they are a little run down, if you on a budget it's a good place to stay, bed is very comfortable, I would probably stay here again."

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."

Southern Cross Atrium Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great facilities, lovely pool and hot tub, great location next door to the shopping centre although a bit of a walk to the sea front/lagoon."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

"Great position being on the waterfront, with close proximity to restaurants, tours and shopping. Staff were very friendly and room was well maintained with good services. Highly recommend this establishment."

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."
