“Great Place to Stay.”
Overall this hotel was a great place to stay. The hotel was basically located on the Esplanade and we were able to walk everywhere. It is about a 10 minute walk from the Reef terminal where all the boats depart. Our room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful in booking taxi's for us. Very satisfied with this hotel and my trip to Australia and would definitely stay here again.
“Great Location Great Hotel”
This will be my seventh stay at the Rydes and would reccommend it. It is clean and right close to shopping and food. Be careful not to book the Rydes Tradewinds Esplande as this is a different property, the one you want is Rydes Tradewinds.
“Good location, helpful staff, nice facilities”
Convenient location. Helpful travel/excursion desk. The room with buffet breakfast is a good deal. The balconies had nice views of gardens and ocean.
“Clean, comfortable and close to everything”
We were quite pleased with the Rydges Tradewinds in Cairns. It was walking distance to everything and all the tour groups we used came right to the hotel for pick up. Staff were very friendly. The breakfast buffet was fine. Tour desk in lobby has all you need to book any tour right on the spot. One note, the water view is not much but you need the upgrade to get in a internet capapble room. This side of Cairns is a bit mucky and muddy until you head out to the reef. It was nice to have the breeze off the water however.
“Situation is perfect for a stay in Cairns, near good eating facilites&lovely board walk along front”
Lovely clean hotel with very helpful staff. The restaurant was excellent - we had the special offer dinner. The only downside was the $11 charged for a class of red wine in the bar - so the moral of the story is don't drink in the hotel.
“Wow, amazing experience”
We had such a wonderful experience at the Tradewinds Hotel. We would love the chance to return. They had everything you can imagine with superb staff always willing to help. This location was perfect for our time spent in Cairns as it is so conveniently located to the city centre, we could walk to dinner and entertainment within 5 minutes. All activities could be planned and initiated from our hotel lobby, (from experience this is not always such an easy accomplishment). We highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be spoiled for a few days.
“Too little time”
This was just an overnight stay for us, but I wish we had planned to stay longer. Very comfortable room, with a lovely balcony with a view of the ocean; great place for our morning coffee! Great location on the esplanade; easy walk into town and especially to the marina and ferry wharf.
“Would definitely stay there again”
Hotel was conveniently located to walk into centre of Cairns. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of facilities within hotel, including nice pool area and bar. Would definitely consider staying there again.
“Excellent!”
Hotel was well located, just a few minutes walk from shops and bars. The staff were extremely helpful, and the hotel was well kept. Definately would go back.
“A nice hotel in a good location”
The hotel and room were very stisfactory. It is well located at one end of the Esplanade and commercial area. Lots of restruants and shops an easy walk away.
