Top Cairns Museum Hotel Reviews

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location. Rooms were clean and comfortable despite being a little dated."

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great wonderful however the lack of USB ports and electrical outlets were challeng. My room had a pillar in the middle of the living space The glass window from the bathroom with the view of the bay was wonderful!"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cairns Plaza is a clean, simple hotel with great views and a very helpful staff. We stayed in a suite, so the living room, kitchen supplies (fridge, utensils/plates and microwave) and separate bedroom made things so easy and comfortable. They have coin-op laundry facilities on-site, which was helpful as this was the second stop on a two-week trip for us. There is a great cafe (Muddy’s Cafe) across the street in the park that offers a 10% discount to hotel guests. It was delicious. The hotel is right along the esplanade, so an easy walk to many restaurants and shops. The hotel isn’t fancy (no fitness center, on-site resturant, etc.) , but it has every thing you need for a really pleasant stay. We’d stay here again for sure!"
