Great place to stay

We stay here twice a year in a suite and love the location, It is opposite the Esplanade and very close to restaurants and a supermarket. The only drawback is lack of storage in the kitchenette. Parking is readily available and the pool area is very nice

One bedroom ocean view suite. Very comfortable. Close to restaurants and market. Friendly staff. Christina was very welcoming at check in. AC in both living room and bedroom was a plus, as the weather was quite hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Staff is available 24/7 and super friendly and helpful. My unit was super spacious. Beds and pillows were comfy. The pool area is clean and well maintained. The view from the balconies is gorgeous. Location is right by the esplanade so perfect to walk/exercise and you can get to the Lagoon area in 15 mins. Cons: the walls are paper-thin so you can hear lots of noise coming from the hallway and neighbours.

Great Value

Excellent stay at Cairns Plaza Hotel for a short family trip to Cairns. Wonderful city and sea views from our balcony which was perfect for enjoying a drink after a day of exploring. Comfortable beds and helpful staff, and the pool was a highlight. Only downside was awkward layout/door placement of bathroom which meant only one person could be in the bathroom at a time.

We loved our stay at the Cairns Plaza Hotel! Our apartment was spacious and clean, with a fantastic view and huge balcony. The location was perfect and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room had good amenities for a long stay, including a mini fridge, microwave, and kettle. Our only major complaint was the lack of an in-room safe. You can store valuables in the front desk safe, but they’re not individual safety deposit boxes like I’ve used in other hotels. Minor suggestions for improvement include adding a toaster and stating on the welcome sheet that ice is available at the front desk. Overall, we highly recommend the Cairns Plaza Hotel and would happily return!

Great location and reasonably-priced Cairns Hotel.

Very nice medium-sized hotel on The Esplanade about 3 blocks out of Downtown Cairns. Location is perfect. appears to be recently renovated, large room, comfortable bed, good WIFI and large flatscreen TV. Very helpful front desk staff and wonderful new pool.
