Top Cairns Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

Tropic Towers Apartments

10/10 Excellent

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

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Plaza Hotel in Cairns! The location was fantastic — Muddies was right across the street and had really good food, and we were within easy walking distance of just about everything. We had a beautiful water view from our balcony, and one of our favorite surprises was being able to watch the flying foxes come in every evening — there were thousands of them! It was such a unique experience and something we looked forward to each night. The building also has a very nice laundry room, which was extremely convenient for travelers. The pier where you catch the boats to the Outer Reef is about a 15-minute walk away, making it easy to get out for reef excursions. Overall, we loved the location, the views, the convenience, and the little extras that made our stay special. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Cairns!"

Bohemia Resort Cairns

8/10 Good

"The staff were courteous and helpful."

The Reef Motel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. The room is dated and generally a bit shabby. Renovations are in progress. I would recommend the motel and will stay there again."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great for families! Wish the pool bar was open dueing our visit!"

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Disappointed"

The Oceanfront Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"The view from our room was wonderful, though it was a fair walk to the main restaurant hub. It's a shame the property doesn't have a restaurant of its own operating, but there's one nearby. It looks like the place is being freshened up a bit, which is good. It has great potential. The air con in our room was a bit hit and miss, but luckily the weather was lovely. We enjoyed our stay here."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean and facilities were worth the money"

Cairns Sheridan Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and tidy and our room was a good size. The facilities were quite old fashioned and the pool and gym area were small and dingy"
