Top Cairns Marlin Marina Hotel Reviews

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"They need illumination the corridor as the parking is uneven, can provoke a falling of people"

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is excellent !! The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Cairns. The reef cruise terminal, a grocery store, casino, night market, esplanade with musicians, and at least 50 restaurants, within 2 blocks ! The hotel is just two stories and I had a front room on the top floor overlooking Abbott Street, active and vibrant by day, quiet at night. The room was immaculate and well supplied, even a complimentary bottle of wine ! The TV remote took some getting used to. I really appreciated the multiport USB charger. The staff were great, very helpful."
