Had a wonderful Valentines day weekend staying here. Our room was stylish with touches of art deco charm and the bed and pillows comfortable. The suprise Jar of lollies on our table was a cute & unexpected touch. We enjoyed a beautiful romantic valentines 3 course dinner that was presented beautifuly and tasted just as good. The service that we received on the evening was Exceptional. The hostess / waitress catered to our every need, always friendly and smiling. She was a delight to have serve us with such a professional yet, authentic manner. We had a wonderful weekend here and will be back to dine again soon. Our only gripe would be that there was no onsite parking for guests.

I was walking past Floriana Boutique Hotel when Ashley (all the way from Canada!) called me in off the street — and I’m so glad she did. She welcomed me with a refreshing drink and showed me around, and I was honestly blown away by how beautifully set up the place is. There’s a swimming pool and outdoor furniture just a short stroll behind the bar, which gives it this relaxed tropical vibe. The lighting and ambiance are so cosy and homely — it feels intimate, warm, and effortlessly stylish all at once. They really have the trifecta: the right staff, an amazing venue, and a pristine location. As a Cairns Base Hospital staff member, I also enjoyed a generous 10% discount — such a thoughtful touch. I can’t believe this little gem has eluded me for so long as a local! Huge thanks to Ashley for calling me in on my way home. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back.

I went to Floriana for a special family meal last Friday (30.01.2026). The setting is lovely but the food and service not so good. The wait staff were nice but either they were very new or just plain forgetful. The waiting time for food and drinks was shocking. I’m not sure if the kitchen was understaffed. The restaurant was quiet so there was no excuse for slow service/food. Our meals took so long to come out and mine was very ordinary. I shared the charcoal roast chicken. This had no flavour, I was glad that I was sharing the chicken as my meal was being paid for. One guest did have the Barramundi and did say that it was nice. It’s such a shame as the setting is beautiful. If the kitchen was understaffed, the customers should be told and people will be more understanding if their meal takes longer than usual.
