Pro: Very close to all amenities in cairns city. Close the to reef terminal and Information center also Cairns Casino. Easy to find food all round, its about 10 mins walk to Night Market. Price is average for budget users. Con: Not like other rydges that I was staying, this is a bits old building style and poor room design.... More

Having stayed at a number of Rydges properties before I was expecting middle of the road quality and friendly customer service. Unfortunately what I found was a tired old building in desperate need of maintenance and front desk staff who acted like I had asked for an organ donation rather than simply a secure car space for my vehichle!!

Great week in Cairns. The staff at Rydges Plaza were friendly and helpful. Our room on the 10th floor was spacious and clean with a great view, the king bed very comfortable, the buffet breakfast was delicious. Superb location.

Hotel clearly older building but has been refurbed nicely. Rooms always cleaned excellently. Bathrooms in need of renovation but completely functional and clean in current form. Staff very friendly and courteous. More

One of the most comfortable hotel beds I've every slept in. The staff were so friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure we were looked after. Buffet breakfast was delicious. Rooms are on the small side but comfortable. More

I stayed here on a Saturday night. I really enjoyed the LILO bar. It has a great feel to it and has a beautiful outdoor undercover area. The dj was ok when he finally arrived- he was late for work I guess. It took him too long to play my requests not the best DJ getting around that's for sure.... More

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
