Top Cairns Marlin Marina Hotel Reviews

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, with a big double balcony overlooking the esplanade. The bed was comfy and housekeeping were attentive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was well maintained - small but ideal for cooling off after a long day exploring the area. Kitchen facilities were as advertised, no cooker but a microwave and full size fridge. Muddys cafe over the road is ideal for a coffee, breakfast or evening bite."

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel. Clean, spacious, comfortable beds, great location! My only issue was the Smurf size ironing board. When trying to iron business clothes on a Smurf size ironing board it is very difficult. Please get normal size ironing boards. Other than that; the hotel is great!"
