Top Rowes Bay Hotel Reviews

Rydges Southbank Townsville

8/10 Good

"Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Rooms were clean and tidy"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

4/10 Poor

"The rooms were very basic, the door was super thin and I could hear everyone walking past, to the elevator all night. The doors weren’t lockable to ensure a safe environment. The lighting in the room was bad, no bedside lamps or lighting to allow relaxation. Only master ceiling lights that were positioned in odd places around the room. The bed sheets were dirty, with marks on top of the bed when I checked in. It was late at night when I arrived so chose not to raise it with staff due to needing to unwind and get to bed. I didn’t want the hassle of having to go back down to reception and change rooms. The gym, if you call it that, was abysmal. The treadmill was out of order and the rest was lacking. There was also plenty of bugs crawling around the room and tables. Overall the condition of the hotel was worn out and needs updating."

Peppers Blue on Blue

8/10 Good

"The location is very convenient, it is right there as you get off the ferry. It is also handy to the bus and to the supermarket, cafes and restaurants in Nelly Bay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nice enough. The room wasn't cleaned/serviced at all while we were there, which wasn't a huge deal, but I was expecting, with the price that we paid, that it would be. The pools were freezing cold so we went in the Ocean instead and didn't use them at all. They would probably be better in Summer/hotter weather. The local rock wallabies are just a short walk away."

Madison Plaza Townsville

10/10 Excellent

"The renovations have made a huge difference. The queen room I stayed in was lovely.I did ask reception about the family rooms she said they have been renovated but now have only 2 queen size beds??? How do you put a “family” mum dad and 2 teenagers 1boy and 1 girl in 2 queen beds. We have used this venue previously for family stays but would not be able to with the new renovation of 2 queen beds in the family room. This is disappointing."
