Fantastic place to stay in Townsville. Free onsite parking and right next door to The Ville for extra dining options though the restaurants onsite are excellent. Rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Recommend spending that little more for an Ocean room so you can see the sunsets each night. Rooftop bar was a perfect spot to kick off the night before going out or for a more casual meal. Cannot recommend enough.

ARDO was fantastic, from the moment we walked in. The smell of Adro is absolutely beautiful, then theres the view, amazing and staff were friendly, helpful and always around to help. The room had all you needed and lots of extras too. The bed was extremely comfortable. The toiletries smell delicious, the only negative for me was the shower water pressure, such a let down for such and amazing shower room.

I loved that the area was quiet & not noisy and loud like the Strand area that we also stayed. That area has hoons driving and reving their cars all night every night. I would never stay in that area again. The place was lovely and modern and had a beautiful view from the roof top swimming pool. Only two things let it down for me. The ceiling of the rooms look like they aren’t finished & the pool while so stunning looking was a bit too shallow for me. No deep area.
