Cairns Plaza Hotel

Given that accomodation around the...

Liked: studio with balcony was clean and spacious for 4 people. There are single beds which can be pushed together to make a double bed. Bed ensemble was alright and fairly comfortable. Plenty of pillows, linen, extra blankets provided. Kitchenette has a microwave, plates, bowls, cups, kettle, mini fridge and cutlery. Tea/coffee sachets provided. No stove/no cooking. Smart TV has YouTube. Netflix available if you log into your account. Bathroom has shower gel and shampoo/conditioner. Towels good. Shower water strength excellent! Balcony was clean with chairs.
Disliked: No complimentary bottle water. Shower/tub ceiling low and a 6foot+ person will have to crouch to have a shower. Don’t expect sea views from any of the rooms as the esplanade is lined with tall trees so views of the sea will be blocked. Overall the building looks to be like an old apartment complex rather than a hotel and is located in the further corner of the esplanade with a 15min walk to the reef fleet terminal. The sound proofing of the rooms isn’t great.

Great location and lovely staff.

Liked: The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was great and the pool and its surrounds were lovely.
Disliked: The rooms are tired and worn and could do with a little care.

Liked: Great location, close to the centre of Cairns and the lagoon, really helpful staff with suggestions for activities and restaurants, newly renovated pool.
Disliked: Elevator has a noisy ding you can hear whenever anyone gets off on your floor.

Lovely, convenient, clean and comfortable.

Liked: The location was very convenient to shopping, restaurants and local tours. The apartment was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The view over the lagoon with a big balcony was very pleasing (see the sunrise). The apartment and hotel in general was very clean and the kitchen facilities basic. However, there were heaps of places to eat, within walking distance. Reception staff were friendly and very helpful.
Disliked: The door into the entrance alley banged loudly and was used by two rooms. Other guests woke us when they returned late and let the doors bang.
