I was most impressed with the staff and their positive attitude. They were all very friendly and the rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast staff were absolutely wonderful and ensured we had a good start to the day and provided us with a healthy hot breakfast. I would certainly recommend this hotel especially when they have special offers. Hey... more

I stayed here with my partner and family for 2 nights and booked 4 rooms (one being a wheelchair accessible room). I couldn't say one bad thing about this place. The rooms were clean and roomy and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Any requests made to them was always met with a smile (even at 5am). Both nights... more

We only stayed here one night, and therefore choosing a top hotel was not important, we were more keen to have a good sized room in a good location. This was a perfectly adequate hotel, with a great pool, plentiful internet facilities in the lobby, and positioned ideally on the esplande. This hotel will not suit fans of 4/5 star... more

Stayed for 4 nights. Excellent location. The room was large, clean and very comfortable. Very close to the Jetty for the Reef tours. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Minor issues with Airport transfer on arrival which did not happen, although we had booked it in advance. Also, there was a charge for the Safety Deposit Box. more

I stayed in an ocean view deluxe room for 5 nights - as my room was just on the corner of the building, I only had a partial view of the ocean though. However, the room was nice and clean, it was very spacious and quiet and I did sleep well, which is most important I guess :-). The hotel... more

Stayed here for four nights we paid extra for a front sea view. Very disappointing, this was the worst hotel of our world tour. The first room we were given had a large pool of water on the bathroom floor. They changed our room no problem. This was of the same standard and quality. Very tired and smelly. Both rooms... more

We booked a water view room back in July and were given a room overlooking cars parked in a little side street, not very impressive at all. We complained and were shown to another room, no apology, just this is the best we can do! Hotel seems tired and a vague odour in the rooms. Some staff not very pleasant. more

Matthew Hurley, Hotel GM

Dear Rozzymelbourne I was most concerned to hear that the room you first received did not have the views you expected. I will be raising this issue with all the management involved. Thank you for taking the time to let us know your feedback. I hope overall you enjoyed your time with us and in Cairns. Kind Regards Matthew GM

The Rydges Tradewinds is located on the Esplanade, but not at the busy area. Good location, because you can easily walk to the restaurants etc, but you also have peace and quiet in the hotel. Swimming pool is nice. Rooms are outdated, not so nice, but comfortable and clean and not expensive. more

Dear Ravi Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on your recent stay with us. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the location. We would love to see you staying with us again next time you come to Cairns. Kind Regards Matthew GM

We stayed here twice (before and after a trip to the reef). On the first occasion we were quite happy with the room (we got this at a bargain rate on ebookers). The room was clean and tidy and a good size, balcony was good, the pool was good also and seemed to be fairly quiet. The bathroom was a... more

Dear Clarey73 I was very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your two stays with us at Rydges Tradewinds. Having said that it is disappointing that the room you were allocated for your second stay was not up to standard, but I am pleased to hear that we addressed this for you immediately and to your satisfaction. I hope overall...
