Top Cairns Museum Hotel Reviews

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, smart TV worked fine, room was quiet, great location, staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen and laundry were features I didn’t. And it was great having a Woolworths Supermarket right next door."

Oaks Cairns Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall room and bathroom was clean and quiet even on floor 2 and near the elevator. The elevator is quite slow for a 5 floor building. Rooftop bar has nice views of the Esplanade.

Location is excellent and short 5-10min walk to the pier where the tours depart for the Inner and Outer Reefs."
