Floriana Boutique Hotel, hotel in Cairns

Floriana Boutique Hotel is a recently renovated guest house in Cairns where guests can take a dip in its outdoor swimming pool and make the most of its free Wifi, free bikes, and garden.

Love the heritage look of the building and rooms, staff were very friendly and helpful, cleanliness is excellent, location is also great but its best to get a car to drive around in Cairns.

Finally having an air conditioned room with my own makeshift bathroom and kitchen, TV, Microwave. Meeting some of the long-term residents that stay there. And having my privacy.... for the most part. Though if you stay in any of the lower rooms you can hear the people on the second floor walking around.

    Great hostel, really peaceful environment. The location is perfect, a bit out of town but close enough to fully enjoy Cairns. Thanks to the amazing staff, my friend and I loved our stay at Dreamtime!

    This property was insanely amazing! Definitely not what we expected at all. Vaughan is such a great host who has put his whole heart and soul into the property and it shows. You feel like you're in the middle of a jungle bungalow. I have no words. Thank you Vaughan!! Can't wait to come back and hear some more of your jokes. Peace. 🤘

    Lovely welcome from our great host Peter, provided some very useful local guidance and managed to check us into our room slightly earlier. Relaxed, quiet feel, well maintained with great facilities, utilised the big smart TV to watch the Euros football and the pool was lovely and refreshing.

    Lovely hostel. Our room was spacious, clean and the aircon was strong. Peter is a great host and booked us onto the Reef Experience tour which I would highly recommend! Walking distance from Cairns Central shopping centre and the Esplanade.
