Rydges, Great Barrier Reef hotels

"Great running trails. City shopping walkable. Staff helpful"

"Its central location & reception staff are absolutely wonderful. Honestly, the reception team are amazing and did anything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible - exceptional. The decor needs a refresh in our opinion. For example the floor covering lets the hotel down. Such the old fashioned carpet needs changing with wood/ tiled flooring. The hotel’s really for people who like to listen to loud music, live music, a pub culture etc. For example, we never used the outdoor pool - which looked nice - but just too noisy because of the loud bar music. "

"Service is always great here. Location is fantastic close to the reef tours and great restaurants. The hotel is trying to keep up with its age but I can see signs of tiredness from over the years."

"The room was super nice! We loved the swimming pool. It was an easy walk to town! "

"Wonderful hotel it’s our go to hotel when in cairns. Right on the esplanade so no need for a car, 2 great pools and many pools on the esplanade to use. Restaurants are in walking distance and there are plenty to choose from."

"Lovely stay. Extensive breakfast spread. "

"Perfect location! Super convenient to go everywhere. The first night there was a wifi connection issue but overall everything was good. Clean room, friendly staff. It was amazing to see from the balcony so many bats flying in the sky in the evening. We will come back again! "

"Conviniet location, walkable distance to shops and restaurants. A bit old and outdated, need some maintenance and touch ups. Pool needs more shadow area, as it was not enough spaces to hide from the sun. Breakfast was good, lots of options. Friendly staff "

"Great one night stay, wish we could have stayed longer. Clean, comfortable, peaceful will definitely be staying again "
