We stayed here for 4 nights and we were more than happy with the room and the service provided by the staff. The only thing was that we couldn't adjust the temperature of the air conditioning in our room (there was no temperature control) and so we used the fan instead, as the air conditioning was too cold. The TV... More

Stayed here for one night for work. Got in late and left the next morning. The lobby seems designed for function rather than creating an inviting atmosphere. The service staff were helpful and professional and gave my colleague and I umbrellas due to the pouring rain in Cairns which was appreciated. The rooms are functional and clean and I had... More

I stayed here for 5 nights, and I would like to come back. Spacious rooms, nice buffet for dinner. (Forget the a la carte menu). I paid around 100 AUS $ per night beginning of June 2013, which is a good price for what you get. If you are a "light sleeper" like me, you won't get much sleep after... More

Only stayed 1 night, at the reception we got higher price than over the phone. Room was OK, spacious (if you intent to stay for longer) and clean. What surprised me: - 2% surcharge for credit card payment - we stayed in Cairns area for 7 days a in 6 different hotels/B&B and Rydges was the only one to charge... More

Our room was situated on the 7th floor with a balcony overlooking the... More

Me and my family have just returned from australia. In cairns we stayed for 2 nights only from 12th to 14th may 2013 and we really enjoyed there as we upgraded ourself to ocean view rooms on top level. The view was very unique and beautiful and the rooms were also very neat and clean. The view gets 10/10. The... More

My husband and I have just returned from a 7 night stay at this Hotel. When booking I advised the hotel that we were coming up for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and if possible could we have a high floor. On our arrival we found that we had been given a room on the TOP floor of the hotel (12th... More
