The Abbott Boutique Hotel

This is a comfortable and efficiently run hotel and we loved our stay, in fact we returned to the hotel. We had a nice room away from the street, but Cairns is pretty quiet anyway. It's central to everything with lots of amenities just a stroll away, including the Feta Greek Taverna, and it's an easy walk to the marina. But it's delightfully away from the main tourist madness on the esplanade. You can walk to the cruise terminals, but I suggest a taxi if you have significant baggage. Totally recommended.

We suggested to the hotel a few little things which would improve the guest experience. They mainly relate to the breakfast,  which by the way we did appreciate and enjoy.  1 there aren't enough seats for the number of guests, we were ok but noticed some people were standing. A few more normal sized dining chairs? 2 not enough cutlery, especially knives.  3 we prefer muesli as do many, not a big problem as we went out and bought some. But would be nice if it were provided.  4 a bit more water to replenish the electric jug and coffee machine would be good.  5 when the jug and coffee maker are on at once, the power board trips out. Perhaps a short extension lead from the floor for one of these appliances. 6 it would be good to have mugs in the rooms instead of the little cups so we could have a decent sized drink of tea. 

The hotel was everything that we would expect for the cost: it doesn't have a bar or a dining room, but we would have had to pay a lot more for these services. All these services were available just outside the hotel, so not a concern. It was clean, comfortable, sizable rooms and very pleasant environment and excellent value for the cost. The location was very good.
