Top Reef Teach Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Only downside is the noise from the street / park."

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, premium feeling overall even though it would benefit from a renovation. Swimming pool is nice but I would suggest to add some shaded area. Breakfast was good."

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful outdoor swimming pool. Breakfast options are good but I found the quality quite poor. Bread and pastries obviously "old" and cooked food not s great either. Rooms are ok, quite basic but clean and functional."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Good hotel in fantastic location, easy walk to waterfront restaurants, ferry terminal. Premier balcony rooms on top floor were great, very spacious and awesome views. Only negative - a/c was very noisy, hard to adjust and couldn't be turned off."

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, smart TV worked fine, room was quiet, great location, staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen and laundry were features I didn’t. And it was great having a Woolworths Supermarket right next door."

Oaks Cairns Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall room and bathroom was clean and quiet even on floor 2 and near the elevator. The elevator is quite slow for a 5 floor building. Rooftop bar has nice views of the Esplanade. Around the corner from the night market food court and lots of restaurants on the same block. Location is excellent and short 5-10min walk to the pier where the tours depart for the Inner and Outer Reefs."

Crystalbrook Flynn

10/10 Excellent

"Extraordinary!!,!!"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay on the outskirts of the CBD. Ocean view with balcony. The bathroom configuration was a little weird, but overall the apartment is clean and spacious."

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"Location is excellent for any activity in Cairns. Easy walking to lagoon, shopping and dining. Front desk staff were awesome. The hotel is nicely presented, but you can tell it is dated in the rooms. Clean, safe and comfortable though. Would definitely stay again."
