The kitchen, laundry and social areas are well kept up and had everything I needed for my stay. My only complaint was the construction work that was going on at the time, which wasn’t mentioned online before I booked my stay, and resulted in several bathrooms being unavailable and I had a circular saw running right outside my window as early as 7 in the morning multiple days. Check in and out were easy and the AC in the rooms was more than sufficient. Overall great if travelling by yourself when you don’t want to cash out for an expensive hotel ##### Aiden Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 27 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We are mature ladies. We walked through the door Ricardo helped us with are large bags to next level 3 levels no lift. It’s basic very clean SO WORTH THE MONEY. The new owners have had this property under a month we were there 4 days and there were shelves being put up the rooms were being decorated the swimming pool should be open in a month. Townsville is very up and coming and anyone young you can walk to most places. Free shuttle to ferry to magnetic island. Taxi and shuttle are very reliable. ##### Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlotte 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Staff & service The rooms themselves are nice and clean (we stayed in a private double) however it was let down by its poor communication and lack of staff. Prior to arriving we rang and emailed multiple times about instructions for late check in but no reply until we chased. Also no-one told us when we stored our bags that you would not be able to access them between 12-2pm! We had a bus at 1pm and the receptionist had not told us about this when storing the bag, plus there are no signs about this anywhere! This was very stressful and AGAIN no-one picked up the phone when ringing the out of hours number. ##### Charlotte Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela 28 Jul 2025 ##### Gabriela Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brodie 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Brodie Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hostel ##### Gabriela Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Southall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southall-Hotels.d602740.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Haven Hotel On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Little-Haven-Hotel.h892266.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Aldershot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aldershot-Hotels.d6054087.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/edi/london-to-edinburgh) ### Activities > [Things to do in Watford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Watford.d5464.Travel-Guide-Activities)
