Top Cairns Marlin Marina Hotel Reviews

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel in a great location, quite big but had a personal touch as the staff were very helpful. Although we were on a floor that had not been refurbished, the room was clean, large and had everything we needed, would recommend staying here."

Crystalbrook Riley

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Nice restaurants"

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff are terrific"

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Well, what can you say, you pay for what you get, it's a good hotel, the staff are lovely, unfortun1tely, the room is not what on the advertised photos, we have been here for four days and never had our room done, towels replaced etc, the room door doesn't have a chain or extra security on it, also they are a little run down, if you on a budget it's a good place to stay, bed is very comfortable, I would probably stay here again."

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."

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 )"

Oaks Cairns Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean spacious room #402. Had previously stayed in #403 and it was good but much smaller. As the start of the Cairns festival was beginning there was some noise from drumming etc but the eased off early in the night. Did not use the restaurant or the bar during this visit. Contact with reception staff was friendly and effecient"
