Stayed two nights and found the hotel perfectly satisfactory. Room was refurbished, smart and modern. A problem with the balcony sliding door was eventually fixed. It is however, run apartment-style with no restaurant and restricted reception hours. I ordered the room service full breakfast which, at $18, was not cheap but ample and well prepared. Excellent views but some way... more

Aquarius on the Beach was recommended by friends. We booked a bay view room and it was located on the fourth floor of this 15-storey beach front high-rise in which every room or apartment has a view of Cleveland Bay and Magnetic Island. Our room turned out to be essentially a standard motel room with a narrow balcony and a... more

We stayed here for 4 nights while checking out Townsville as a place to live. The hotel itself is well positioned within easy walking distance to shops, bars and cafes. Being right on the Strand was a bonus. The room was lovely, obviously refurbished recently. Good value for money, the only gripe I had was that room service was unavailable... more

My partner and I stayed at the Aquarius in Oct 2007. We had a room at the end of the building and first impressions was WOW! It looked fantastic with the kitchenette and full fridge/freezer, a bath/shower and very modern decor. All the rooms have balconies facing the beach with great views. We arrived late evening so was looking forward... more

I stumbled across this site only recently and having stayed in "Aquarius on the Beach" I'd like to recount my experience.... Having booked over the internet based on the photo's & "4 star" rating I was amazed to discover my room - though bearing some similarity to the photo possibly by dint of having been taken 20 years ago -... more

We visited this hotel over a year ago but just found this forum so thought I'd post this report. Hopefully the hotel has improved and upgraded its rooms since then (July 2006). We booked through a travel website and the photos of the room looked good. Upon entering the room, there was a dark brown mouldy stain at the doorway.... more

The views and overall location are the best part. If you decide to stay though, know a few things before hand. Each room is "privately owned", so if there is construction going on next door, below you, or above you, reception cannot tell you when it will be done. The loudest grinding noise, accompanied by constant banging, kept us from... more

Not sure how bad this place may have been in the past, but when we were there, we were completly impressed with the value during our stay. Would have stayed longer, but they were just booked out. Our room had just been renovated, in a modern and very simple style. We enjoyed our suite. It was very roomy and comfortable,... more

We stayed here in June of 2006. The only good thing about this hotel was the location. It is right on the Strand and offers great views from the balcony, but the room itself was very dirty. The carpet was stained, the counters were dirty with coffee or tea stains on them, and the bathroom needed cleaning. The place really... more

I had a fantastic stay at Aquarius, not only were the staff friendly and poliet and more then willing to help us out with anything at all, but the views were amazing, the weather was fantastic and the room was very cosy. It was always cleaned and sparkling before we arrived back to the hotel and we were never disturbed,... more
