Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

8/10 Good
"I stayed in a room on the top floor. The view from the balcony was fantastic as I could see the castle hill and the scenery towards south side of Townsville. The building itself seems to be dated and due for some rejuvenation."

"Great location, fantastic view and room had all the essential amenities. Lovely and clean. Easy and pretty walk along g beach to ferry for magnetic island. Only complaint was tried to purchase laundry detergent and machine gobbled up coins with no product. When I explained this to reception, they said not their problem with no offer of refund or detergent."
