This is a great place to stay right on the waterfront looking across to Magnetic Island. Great staff and very helpful, plenty of parking, renovated rooms with balconies. Fantastic restaurants and bars very close by, plus more to choose from within 2 klms. Across the road is a grassed area and walking path along the long waterfront with even more... More

The Aquarius is directly across the road from the Strand and beyond that is the ocean. I was on the 8th floor and could leave my door open at night. The sound of the distant waves was very peaceful. The hotel staff was very friendly and efficient. I booked on Agoda and they had the room ready when I arrived.... More

Had a good three days stay. Room was very comfy, view was great and the location is absolutely brilliant, right on The Strand. There is a small table and two chairs on the balcony overlooking the ocean and the room has microwave, fridge and all crockery and cutlery. We found everything in good condition and the room was very clean.... More

This hotel would have to be in the best location in Townsville, right opposite The Strand, every room has a great view over the water, with a balcony to get out and enjoy it. Room very comfortable, nice bathroom, great bed... the best thing is the location though and the amazing restaurants nearby. Try Watermark and C Bar!

We stayed in a Delux Water View Room on the 8th floor. The view was amazing, the room was newly renovated, all tiled, little kitchen with microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle and cooking accessories. Little room, but value for money. Deffinitally worth to pay the little extra for a newer room.

Reception closes 8pm but prior arrangement can be easily made to access room key. Limited coffee & tea in room but enough to get the day started :) Comfortable atmosphere and found the bed/pillows firm but great for my back. The view from my room was outstanding! Have booked in again and will recommend this venue to others.

This is a great place to stay in Townsville. I was tempted to write this review after only a couple of days but decided to wait just in case something unforseen went wrong. Nothing went wrong and we were very happy. Aquarius is one of the oldest high rise properties in Townsville and is undergoing renovations. Our room was a... More
