We stayed at Cairns Plaza Hotel for 2 nights. First impressions aren't great as the reception area has a hospital feel about it. The apartment was dated but reasonably roomy. A small kitchenette with bar fridge and microwave was handy. The bedroom was a decent size and bed was comfy. Both the bedroom and living room opened on to a... More

It's not a very modern sort of hotel but the view from the sea facing room was to die for. In fact I read a review on trip advisor and booked it the moment I read about the view. It is a bit of a walk to the ferry terminal but then walking on the Esplanade whose complaining. We had... More

A little older than other hotels, but very clean with great amenities and right on the Esplanade with views out to sea. Just what we wanted. Free wifi is good. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The room price was very reasonable and was a suite with a living room/kitchen area and a separate bedroom More

Stayed at this hotel twice, first time for one night, second for three nights. Both rooms were very clean. Staying three nights the second time gave us a deal. Views awesome, even city-side looks out to rainforest. Side view gave us look at both rainforest and harbour. Free wifi is available in the lobby, which is a plus. The location... More

Stayed at Cairns Plaza Hotel for 4 nights. The staff are exceptionally helpful in booking trips, providing recommendations on places to visit and advising on road direction.

Room is big (bedroom, living room,... More

Good, quiet (almost) seafront location 5 minutes walk from lots of restaurants, bars and the "lagoon" and 10 minutes from the harbour. We took the Kuranda Scenic train and... More

We stayed here in June. The australian dollar is very strong at the moment, where motels are charging the equivalent of hotel prices. Cairns Plaza was an old hotel that needed work in almost every room. However, they were up to an acceptable standard of a 2/3 star hotel, and was very good value for money. Only a 5 minute... More

Very central and convenient walking distance to CBD and reef terminal ( 3 blocks). Nice restaurant with specials and themes on different nights.Pool was pleasant . Suites were comfortable and kitcheonette with fridge and microwave, was more than sufficient. Staff aim to please and are willing and helpful when it comes to advice about taxis, shopping and local attractions. Good... More

This is my second attempt at getting a review published on Cairns Plaza -dont know what went wrong the first time! I think it deserves a mention because this Hotel although not the flashest in town, is the best value for money we have stayed at in Cairns (eight times). Reception were more than helpful - we were given an... More
