Top Cairns Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

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."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"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."

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."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to everything. Staff were very helpful and friendly Would stay here again"

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Limited parking in exposed front park lot, otherwise it was street parking. One lift operating which took a while during peak time close to checkout. Bit of construction work going on. Otherwise spacious great room (just unfortunate that there is a small step into the bathroom which is a toe catcher, and shower glass doesn’t cover enough whereby the floor outside gets very wet)."

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 )"

Cairns Sheridan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here several times Parking easy Clean, comfortable room Would prefer a proper fridge and a microwave in my room Staff always pleasant and helpful"

"The cost of the night was $110. For this the motel exceeded expectations. You pay for what you get. It was old, but clean. Water was hot, beds were clean and comfortable."

"Excellent location Large apartment Great in room facilities including washer and dryer"
