We stayed at the Rydges for 4 night. It was a very comfortable stay and good value for money. The staff were great, we were upgraded to a room on the 10th floor after arriving which was great. The hotel location is good, close to everything including the reef fleet terminal which was a great advantage. Overall a nice experience... More

Stayed twice during our last family trip to the Far North. With the wife and two young boys, we got one of the King Suite rooms. The first stay was for two nights, room was roomy and comfortable. Only two problems with the room, the sofa bed for our oldest child was a little broken and the door to the... More

Lilo dining and bar area are lovely with lots of ambiance and excellent service. Rooms are large with a small balcony offering nice views over Cairns city.- they are very clean with beautiful dream beds and large... More

Cairns Plaza proved to be very conveniently located, with great restaurants very close, a short walk to Cairns Central and the ferry terminal. Service was great, staff were so friendly and efficient. The comfortable bed was amazing. More

We stayed here on a leg of our Australia trip while we went to the Great Barrier Reef. On first blush the hotel appears a little dated and in need of repair. The room was well appointed and clean. I was not impressed that they did not offer free wifi, but apparently that is the norm in most Australian hotels.... More

Parts of this hotel are stylishly modern but the refurb is incomplete with obvious signs of this buildings age. Our room's bathroom, for example, is in need of modernization with cheap plastic towel racks from distant decades. Our floor (6th) came with a strange, musty smell as did our hutch/buffet in the room. However, the Lilo bar was stylish, comfortable... More

A post-midnight 8-hour transit stop in Cairns had us looking for a hotel room to catch a little sleep before heading on to Tokyo. So when the Wotif deal of the day featured the four star Rydges Plaza for $99 with breakfast for two, I snapped it up. We stayed Friday, 2 December. It's an older style hotel, and their... More

Dear Guest, Rydges Plaza certainly is handy to the Cairns airport for these type of stop over’s and the media hubs are great for reviewing those holidays snaps. Our fresh breakfast buffet does extend through to 10am on the weekends so my sincere apologies for you missing this important inclusion in your booking. One solution could have been our Rydges...

We were a family of four travelling with 2 older children who had their own room. We purchased our tickets through Wotif for $99 per room per night, we received bedding configuration of two doubles, breakfast, free parking and late checkout of 12pm. Our rooms were located on the 8th floor, they were clean, however the bathrooms were very tired... More
