Top Horseshoe Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

8/10 Good
"I booked this hotel because I really wanted somewhere with a great view, and it definitely did not disappoint! The **view was easily my favourite part of the stay**, along with the **rooftop pool**. I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. If you’re looking for a hotel with **amazing views and a great rooftop pool**, I would definitely recommend it!"

"Good sized apartment. We had WiFi issues that were capable of being resolved but weren't. River facing apartments suffer from persistent traffic noise which were annoying when using the deck"

"Our second year staying in the exact same apartment at Sails, and it was just as lovely as the first time. Excellent location overlooking the water, and less than 1 minute walk to the beach and to the shops at Horseshoe Bay, The kitchen is really well set up to cook, and we comfortably had 3 people all in the kitchen at once and it didn't feel too crowded. A really lovely place to stay to have a relaxing holiday on Maggie!"
