felt empty

When we arrived to our room it smelt of mould and there was mould all over windows. Went to turn lights on in room, non existence, small orange down lights. There was no soap or shampoo and hate having a cold shower. Need to use lift and other people was using it to move furniture. I think the guest that stayed the same weekend as us should have been told it was the last weekend for it to be open cause of renovations.

Hotel is a bit dated and tired. Nice staff.

Staff was excellent, helpful and courteous. This hotel is closing down in two days for full renovation by the new owner. We had a good time, used the pool, restaurant. If you opt out of the daily cleaning you get $10 credit on your account every day that you opted out. Reducing your meal and drink cost.

Not an enjoyable stay!

This is the second time I have stayed at Rydges Tradewinds in Cairns. I stayed for a weekend in mid 2015. That stay was fairly average. Main concerns were the room was a bit dated. Other problem was very inconsistent internet. I was there for business and needed access to internet and it was exceptionally poor. I expressed my concerns to staff but got no constructive response. I stayed again last weekend, because my first choice hotel was booked out. The location of Tradewinds is good so I hoped changes had occurred since my last visit. Sadly, no. The first room I was given was tired and dated. Of real concern was a larger patch of black discolouring which looked like mould on the ceiling near the aircon. I requested another room and was given one. This room was much better. Again, the internet was very inconsistent and unreliable, cutting in an out repeatedly. When I raise this concern with staff I was told it was because the hotel was full and there was too much demand. If this was indeed the reason then it does not reflect well on the hotel that they can't consistently provide a stated service. I believe the problem was an inadequate IT infrastructure. I was using internet at 4:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. on consecutive mornings. There was no difference with internet at those times when users would have been minimal. This issue was seriously frustrating and inhibited work productivity. Last morning, no hot water at all in the bathroom. Very poor given cost charged.

旅行滞在中、ケアンズ中心部に毎日徒歩で出掛けるにはギリギリのロケーション。

値段を考えれば妥当。全体的に痛みや汚れが目立つが、部屋は十分に広く、ベッドも快適だった。但し、フリーアクセスが売りのWiFiが滞在中全く使い物にならなかった。フロントに確認したら、一部故障したためと説明されたが、ロビーでしかまともに使えず残念だった。

Brilliant Executive Rooms

We stayed on the executive floor in one of the suites and it didn't disappoint. The rooms were clean modern and had a well stocked bar and espresso machine. Staff were friendly and happy to help with any request. Definitely stay again.

Great location, the property is about to have a very much needed refurbishment. I would like to revisit after the renovations are completed as I think it will be absolutely beautiful. All considered I enjoyed my stay.

Need improvement

Construction was going on, and our room was located probably just under the site. It was extremely noisy and we could not even talk in the room as we could not hear each other. We asked for another room. The receptionist was very kind and efficient to organise a room change. However we wonder why in the first place they assigned our room in the noisy area knowing we would be staying for several days. They could have paid more attention to this and done a proper room assignment. As we got an interconnecting room, we heard some irritating noises from neighbours but did not care much. However, one neighbour was chatting all night and we had to wake up in the middle of the night and call reception. Thanks to the receptionist, they stopped chatting loudly afterwards. Hotel itself seemed quite old. That was not really a matter, but aircon and ceiling needed to be cleaned as they were dusty. I got bitten by something and had a rush while I was sleeping.Afterall, I got 7 red spots on my right leg and 3 on my left leg. Cleanliness standard should be improved. None of the reception staff was friendly or attentive. They only greeted when we approach to the front desk countre. Service standard should be improved as well.

Bad conditions for a 4* hotel

We checked in and were taken into our room. The smell of mold was VERY strong, and we noticed that the "popcorn ceiling" was full of mold. Being allergic to mold, I asked to change rooms. A person from the staff showed us another 3 rooms - all with the same problem. We picked with room with the less amount/smell of mold (still strong in my opinion). A few nights later we were awakened by very loud sounds that seemed to come from the pipes or AC. The staff at reception explained that now we had "neighbors" upstairs and that this horrible sound might come whenever they flush the toilet or have a shower. So until those guys settled down for the night, we couldn't sleep. The same happening in the following nights until we left. The hotel in general is quite old, and it was a very disappointing experience for a 4* hotel.

Old and dirty

We stayed in this hotel and couldn't wait to leave. The rooms were beyond dirty with a thick layer (2-3cm) of dust covering the fans and other surfaces of the room. The room smelt terrible and there was black mould on the ceiling. Needs to be cleaned thoroughly and updated. The staff were understanding and helpful in finding us a cleaner room with minimal fuss.

This hotel is very central but seriously needs an up grade and a good clean. The hallways weren't vacuumed and the lifts were very dirty. The beds were past there use by.

good location but needs updating and cleaning

The rooms in this hotel were inexpensive but you get what you pay for. check in was great and easy; hotel lobby smells musty, glass doors are not shiny, pool area, and room balconies need a good power washing and repaint. Rooms are pretty and were mostly very clean however, fabric sofa, dining chairs and carpet were stained in spots. WIFI is terrible. We were on the 7th floor Executive suite, corner room and the bedroom had no wifi at all the rest of the suite had sporatic WIFI.
