I decided on the cairns plaza hotel mainly for the view from the room.We stayed there for just 2 nights. The idea was just to have a tidy place to rest our back at night and this hotel served the purpose.We reached the city in the morning and the staff was happy to have the luggage in the reception while...

The hotel is situated at the Esplanade, but quite a few blocks from the shops and restaurants on the Esplanade. The reception area as well as the rest of the hotel is tired looking, but still comfortable. Internet access was limited to 2 specific floors and the lobby. Sweet young woman working in the restaurant in the mornings. Food was... More

I have just returned home after staying at Cairns Plaza for 2 nights and I can only thank and congratulate them on their excellent customer service. The lady on the desk when I checked in on Friday was so polite and nothing was a problem. My whole stay each of the staff I ran into were so pleasant. I do... More

Staff were very helpful but getting a pre dinner drink took a little time. Apparently more people drink Soda rather than Tonic!. We opted for the cooked breakfast... More

A little off the main road, but only about 5 blocks from the main attractions. The hotel is like a motel 6, but the staff was AMAZINGLY helpful, you get free internet, good price for the location. 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
