Top The Strand Hotel Reviews

Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good

"Location is great, room a good size but no power points on the kitchen bench to plug in the toaster or jug. Also shower ceiling was peeling."

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!"

Oaks Townsville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Reception girl - Carolin was so friendly when we checked in, and her smile was very welcoming to the establishment, which was refreshing along with the cost of the room being reasonably priced. Great view all the requirements in the room stoves etc. Clean room and bathroom. Look forward to staying again."
