There is nothing fancy about The Abbott - it provides accommodation. But it does that very well. The experience seems formulated on the expectation that guests will source all their meals externally, which is reasonable given the close proximity to a multitude of eating places. Also easy walk to the piers. Inside, the room was quiet and comfortable. Great shower, good array of complimentary toiletries. We enjoyed a Superior room with street frontage (room 201); would recommend trying to obtain this or similar if considering The Abbott.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay!

Our week long stay was fantastic. The location is great and walking distance to the esplanade and many restaurants. The front desk staff were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to assist us when we needed it. We especially enjoyed going to the lounge for a complimentary cup of coffee each morning, and utilized the washer and dryer before heading to our next destination which was a huge bonus. This place has it all and if we are in Cairnes again we will be staying here again.

Good location and hotel had a lot of space to relax outside of your room. Very nice that they have refreshments and snacks available at all times. Did not like that they had left my full name and room number on the outside on the envelope on the front desk for late check-in. I think its a great system but it might be nice to just leave the room number private on a note inside of the envelope instead on the outside for everyone to see. Just a suggestion from a solo female traveler

Our stay was amazing! It was the small details that really made it for us, such as the great toiletries, the coffee machine serving amazing drinks, spring water bottles, and the friendly staff. The rooms were impeccable. GREAT overall.

We loved the location, food court and subway within a 100 ft, the esplanades pool a 5-7 min walk, 5 minute walk to the harbour to catch a Great Barrier Reef tour, nice coffee room with cookies available all day free. We wished they had a safe as we had to always carry our passport and money with us meaning only one could swim at a time.

It is a small hotel. No onsite restaurant, but plenty of decent cafes and restaurants nearby. Free coffee and biscuits in the lounge. Very clean. Everything works as it should. Staff are helpful. There is no specific left luggage room, just a space underneath the stairs. Shower was good in my room. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others.

Disappointed

My complaint is not with the hotel or our stay itself - the accomodations were perfectly fine. My disappointment was in the unwillingness of neither the hotel manager nor Hotels.com to help resolve a perfectly innocent mistake in the original booking. At the time of the booking, I reserved a room with my credit card, to be paid upon arrival at the hotel. A few hours later, I edited the booking to pay for the hotel with Hotels.com reward points instead, but somehow this inadvertently created a double booking which I was not aware of until we signed in at the hotel. Upon arrival I was informed I had two rooms reserved and despite my complaint, they charged my card. I was told more than once it was past the cancellation period, even though there was no way I could have cancelled a reservation I was unaware of. Despite several emails and submitting documents to Hotels.com, they were unable to refund my points as they stated there was no record of the double booking. And despite the hotel's subsequent ability to rent the extra room for two nights to the friends we were travelling with after their air conditioning unit malfunctioned, the manager was unwilling to even offer a partial refund. He had led me to believe there might be some adjustment after I worked with Hotels.com, but my two emails to him after returning home were unanswered.
