Good hotel with pool. Good breakfast. Ideal for short stay, not far to walk into town.

8/10 Very Good

Rydges on The Esplanade in Cairns is handy and can boast great views of the mountains and water if you select the right room. The full buffet breakfast and lunch options were great, as was the in-room wood-fired pizza! The pools were a bit cold and room a tiny bit worn out with a bed moving around somewhat. Otherwise the place is great. Great location!!

OMG!
The hotel is no better than a mediocre Western Star motel. The floor i stayed on had an old look and musky smell. The room was tiny and extremely basic with minimal facilities. In room dining was a joke and the menus were old and dirty looking. The TV was tiny, with minimal channels . Crystallbrooke leave this museum for dead and for less or the same money. Terrible, look somewhere else.

hotel was ok, facilities were not up to 4 star. Bar and restaurant were dreadful with poor service - staff were not very friendly or welcoming. Hotel is located about 1km from the main eating area of the esplanade but it is a nice walk.
