The staff at the Floriana Boutique Hotel went out of their way to show us compassion and provide help and support when a medical emergency necessitated special consideration. Their response was outstanding and we are incredibly impressed. We enjoyed the on site restaurant and the rooms were very comfortable and attractive. We highly recommend the Floriana Boutique Hotel for its personal attention to detail and guests. We have not stayed in many other hotels that have offered such impressive staff.

Beautifully renovated building in Art Deco style. The high gloss timber floors, the wallpaper, the ceiling rosettes, this property has it all. I fell in love the moment I walked in and will never stay in another cold impersonal motel room in Cairns again.

This is a beautifully restored property offering first class rooms with outstanding bathrooms, lovely furniture and brand new beds. There is also a charming pool available to guests. The property is located across from the waterfront and is a comfortable walking distance from the centre of the city. I would stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a unique place to stay in Cairns. The proprietor is the warmest and most friendly hotelier I have ever met. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The retro room was so beautiful, especially as we had an ocean view and could have the windows open to hear the ocean and feel the breeze. We were also treated to the acoustic music rambling up the stairwell into our room from the restaurant below. All in all a romantic stay with wonderful staff, food and a very comfortable bed

The staff were exceptionally lovely and helpful, although communication about an early departure was definitely lacking. Our room was small and incredibly noisy as it was above the restaurant kitchen and at the head of the stairs to the lobby. The property itself is unique; towels and amenities were great and the on-site restaurant was very good.

Beautiful Hotel

We enjoyed this hotel. It is beautiful and elegantly restored We stayed in the smallest room and had enough room. My husband is 6 foot 2 inches and big boned. It was very comfortable. The fixtures are new. The bathroom looks new. Fresh paint everywhere. The mahogany floors on the first floor is stunning. Nicely decorated. The staff is friendly and super helpful. They made our stay very pleasant. Very clean. the room had a small fridge. The microwave was in the hallway for all the guests to use. It is in a good location, near restaurants, shops, markets and the pier.

Delightful!

A delightful place to stay! Certainly not your usual big hotel chain, Floriana is friendly, relaxed and caring. Yes, the windows open and the breeze from the ocean is fresh. Very comfortable beds and some nice touches. The photos on the web site are accurate. The restaurant is something special! Relaxed dining with excellent service and outstanding cuisine. We have stayed at Floriana twice recently and are looking forward to our third stay. Thoroughly recommended.

What a charming small hotel, beautifully located on the Esplanade, easy walking distance to city center and harbour. The staff, Luca and Stephanie, are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Quality of food in the restaurant was remarkably delicious, with a varied menu. I wound up eating in the restaurant repeatedly, sampling different dishes. The chopped crab salad and lamb ragu were amazing

Nice place to bed down along Cairnes’ Esplanade

Upon arrival I was pleased with my room size. I did notice a strong odor that at first I thought was the floor wax (nice floors) but it was room deodorizer that was way too strong - I prefer a clean small. Nice small pool. Parking is street parking for the property. An ill place shelf blocks the curtains from being fully closed. Food from on site cafe was very good.

It was a fabulous stay, unique property with a restaurant and pool on site. Upscale bedrooms with all amenities, pics dont do it justice, such a warm, welcoming ambiance. Only thing of note is in the evening music can be heard from the restaurant dining until closing as sound carries. After that it's very quiet. The staff were all amazing, helpful and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and didnt want to leave it was so great!
