Took 3 rooms to get 1 that was liveable. The 1st had a jackhammer going over top (The restaurant and pool area are being renovated), in the second the sliding glass door wouldn't lock. The back packers hostel across the street means you hear shouting and noise all night long. We parked our car in the street and had someone... more

The hotel is very central and the staff at reception are among the most friendly and helpful I have come across during my travels and I would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Cairns. more

The rooms have obviously been renovated recently. The room itself was fantastic, modern, and the beds were very very comfortable. Although the room was obviously updated the bathroom seemed to lack the same feel as the room. I think maybe the bathroom let the room down a little bit. This accomondation is in the heart of all the action which... more

Could be a potential hazard as they had tiled up to the edge of the bath . Beds were comfortable and clean. However , the hotel is surrounded... more

Friendly staff, location was very good, close to the Cairns Esplanade and Lagoon. Sufficient indoor parking available. Lobby was under re-modelling. Room was spacious, clean and very nice. Good elevators, nice laundry facilities but very pricey (3 AUD per wash or drying). Excellent bed and good view from the balcony overlooking the swimming pool and a big part of the... more

Come to Cairns couple of times per year and usually stay with Rydges Plaza due its great central location and friendly efficient staff - what has happened?? when i phoned the reservations team i was quoted 3 different rates- all of which are much pricier than what my colleague and i usually pay. When asking about our business rate the... more

I recently stayed here for work in Cairns. I had not stayed here in a while because it was getting dated like many of the hotels in Cairns. I had booked cheap over the net for $109 and this was a real bargain. The hotel has been refurbished and was a pleasure to stay at. The room was comfy, the... more
