The room was clean and tidy and quiet. The air conditioning was on when I arrived, making for a nice temp in the room. The hotel is located in central cairns and easy to get around on foot. Will be staying here again.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Abbott Boutique Hotel. The hotel is so quiet. The room was very clean, the Lounge has a complimentary coffee, the laundry facilities are great with the washing machine pre-loaded with the washing detergent. I loved everything about this hotel. It was a home away from home for me. Antonio the Hotel Manager is so helpful, and he really makes guests feel at home. For me, I will always stay at this hotel whenever I go to Cairns. In fact, I have already booked The Abbott Boutique Hotel for my upcoming trip to Cairns again later this year. Thanks so much Antonio for your great hospitality.

The location is great being in downtown Cairns so within easy walking distance to attractions. Late check in no issues with good communication. Room size and quality good. The only negative is that just outside the room was a courtyard area with a stormwater drain that was very noisy when raining and made sleep difficult. This could be resolved with better room insulation,
