Top Cairns and Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
10/10 Excellent
"Very central to everything"
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns
10/10 Excellent
"Great spot great hotel big room"
The Oceanfront Cairns
8/10 Good
"Easy place to stay..but i was there during renos..room was suppose to be dual queen beds i guess..they removed pne bed which just made the room bare and felt bare."
Mantra Esplanade
10/10 Excellent
"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."
Crystalbrook Riley
10/10 Excellent
"The basic amenities were more disappointing than during my previous stay—there were no toothbrushes or slippers provided."
Cairns Colonial Club Resort
10/10 Excellent
"We only stayed one night but it was really comfortable and clean. The shower was great and they had nice little touches for convenience. We arrived late after a flight and were able to order food at the bar, which was really tasty. I’d easily stay here again."
Pullman Cairns International
10/10 Excellent
"So central and convenient place to stay. The pool deck was amazing, the staff are great as well. Loved my stay and would book again."
Cairns Harbourside Hotel
8/10 Good
"Hotel and staff were nice. Location was about 30 mins walking from the pier and 8 min drive from airport. This meant it was a relatively quiet area (sometimes planes overhead). Pluses: a shuttle runs to the center 4 times a day, (unheated) pool on site, and free parking lot off street Negatives: only one outlet in the entire room (under a table). Mattress was a little lumpy and bathrooms a little dated - but not terrible."
Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Shangri-La Cairns, and while the hotel itself is in an excellent location and is both beautiful and comfortable, what truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble. The staff’s friendliness and care consistently elevated our stay and made everything feel effortless and well looked after. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the 5pm canapés, which were a lovely touch to start and end each day. Our room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, but it was the exceptional service that truly defined our experience. Overall, it was a genuinely memorable stay, made special by the incredible staff, and we would happily return."
