My partner and I stayed for 5 nights in a Standard Room at the Cairns Plaza Hotel. All Standard Rooms come with an ensuite bathroom, tea/coffee facilities, iron and ironing board, television including two free movie channels, basic furniture and a balcony (but not overlooking the waterfront).

We moved here from the Holiday Inn which we had booked for 3 nights only to find ourselves on the 3rd floor, on the opposite side from the water & overlooking the dump bins of a costruction site.

When we walked into the room it certainly smelled a little musty, but we were tired and ignored it. The sheets, towels, and bedspread were all a little damp. It seems... more

It's new name is called Cairns Plaza hotel. But the old name Tuna Tower is still on the building. We booked the hotel on the plaza hotel group site, AUD115/night for an ocean view suite. We stay in room 707 in April. Big suite with large living room with microwave, sink, fridge, dinning table and sofa bed, one bedroom, and... more

They rooms are spacious, with A/C (A MUST in tropical Cairns) and clean rooms. They even have a bathtub (a first for any hotel I stayed in during my 2 weeks in Australia.) Over all, a good... more
