Top Stratford Hotel Reviews

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing as always"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff Breakfast not to the standard you would expect from the Hotel brand. Rooms were aged but maintained well. Room could have been cleaned better, there was hair in the shower and diamonties on the bathroom floor from the previous guests. Advertised with mini bar, the fridge was empty, no complimentary milk or Tea/Coffee/Water. There was a coffee pod machine however. Rooms are advertised as sound proof, this is not the case. There is lots of road noise and external noises that carry into the rooms. Wasnt too bad, but it was there Was ok for a 1 night stop over."

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location with restaurants, shops, art museum, and the Night Market in easy walking distance. It was also close to the water and parks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. They aren’t super fancy but they were great for a solo traveler. And there was a big balcony overlooking the park. It was perfect for me."
