Top Cairns Night Markets Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel . Great pool and awesome location.. brekky ok . Beds are annoying on wheels as they move around though"

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"The staff were amazing, property was clean and you have all the room facilities you need, great pool, due to the fact the resort was closed for 3yrs and had only reopened 3wks before we came it was in good condition, can’t wait to come back and see the place after the renovations, a big thank you to Lindy and the rest of the staff for being so lovely, we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Plaza Hotel is in a great location on the Esplanade, but a bit removed from the busiest areas so it is quieter at night. The room was excellent except the bathroom could use an upgrade to lighting (only a couple of overhead lights so hard to see clearly in the mirror and shower). The staff were friendly and helpful. Our ocean view suite had a great view of the water."

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this hotel as the relaxation part of our trip, and overall it didn't disappoint. The resort itself was lovely, and we really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that let it down was our arrival. We were initially told that our two rooms would not be together, which wasn't acceptable as we had booked them back in December. After a lengthy discussion, the staff were able to find us two rooms in the same block, which we appreciated. We also experienced an issue with our room keys. When we returned to our room, we couldn't get in. The gentleman on reception wasn't particularly helpful and advised that the manager was on the phone and would be at least 30 minutes. We weren't offered any refreshments or an alternative while we waited, which was disappointing. After waiting around 30 minutes, I returned to reception to ask again, and the manager came over and replaced the battery in the door lock, resolving the issue. Considering this was the most expensive accommodation of our trip, we expected a smoother arrival experience and a higher level of customer service from reception. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed our stay and felt the hotel was a great place to relax."
