Top Nelly Bay 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."

The Ville Resort - Casino

8/10 Good

"The room was functional and clean - the hotel itself is a bit out on a limb near the port which was great for visiting magnetic island - if you don’t want to eat in the hotel then it’s a long walk to anywhere nearby - it’s pretty rundown nearby!"

Ardo

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! This has to be one of my most favourite hotels of all time. I can’t wait to go back."

Holiday Inn Townsville by IHG

"Staff were fantastic, room was above excellent, would definitely stay here again!"

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!"
