Top Muddy's Playground Hotel Reviews

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great position being on the waterfront, with close proximity to restaurants, tours and shopping. Staff were very friendly and room was well maintained with good services. Highly recommend this establishment."

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"The buffet breakfast is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It was excellent. The location is perfect for views and a stroll. Very comfortable beds and they have room service if you’re just too tired to go out. Loved it!"

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Quite clean and spacious. I disliked the bed having wheels. You couldn’t sit up on the bed and lean on the wall. The beds kept rolling away."

Pacific Hotel Cairns

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to everything. Staff were very helpful and friendly Would stay here again"

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 )"

Cairns Queens Court

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly team. Good value for the price."

Bay Village Tropical Retreat

8/10 Good

"Good lobby and nice setting. Handy to bus stop. However, paintwork in room not very clean and no duvet on bed. Wall to adjoining room paper thin and I could hear every word spoken next door"

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Would recommend."
