Top Cairns Mudflats Hotel Reviews

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent room with a beautiful view, great location to walk everywhere. The only issue which was constant that the wifi was not working properly in our room, we constantly were kicked off of it and no fix was offered, even though I identified this issue right away, it’s a shame as otherwise this is a perfect hotel."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property had everything I required. It was easy to get to the city & highway North or South. Would definitely stay again."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay close to restaurants"

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Limited parking in exposed front park lot, otherwise it was street parking. One lift operating which took a while during peak time close to checkout. Bit of construction work going on. Otherwise spacious great room (just unfortunate that there is a small step into the bathroom which is a toe catcher, and shower glass doesn’t cover enough whereby the floor outside gets very wet)."

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location. Dated but functional , large clean ,rooms. No block out blinds so room is very lit up from carpark lighting at night and early morning sun through the plantation shutters common to this area. If you need darkness to sleep , bring a mask If you want fresh air ,have to jam the front door open as not opening front windows. ( room has excellent ceiling fan and good A/c )"

"Friendly team. Good value for the price."
