Top Cairns and Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
8/10 Good
"Room is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is good, 5-10 mins walk to night market so not too busy but yet convenient. Right across from aquarium, we did the Night at Aquarium with dinner tour, great experience, learned so much about sea animals from our guide Ruby with delicious dinner afterwards at the adjacent steakhouse. The only negative thing is the sound insulation between rooms are very light, I could hear the neighboring guest stirring a cup of drink clearly at midnight and his/her phone notifications (I guess that’s what it was cuz the same short piece of music would repeat every now and then for 2 hrs😅) Overall we had a nice stay of 4 nights."
