“Cheap not so nasty.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2010

Large size rooms with little furniture to fill the space. Old stained carpet, with tasteless decor, murky windows and shabby walls. Bathroom and toilet were ok however the hygiene seal was broken on arrival? Open Kitchen facilities incl mini fridge, sink & microwaves. Bed was comfortable but not the King size we were expecting.
Close to Townsville mall with easy access to the Strand and Flinders street. Limited Secure parking available free. Staff were not very good or pleasant. There were problems with our reservation.
Lovely refurb on the lobby and reservations desk shame none of that money went on giving the rooms a little bit of life.
All in all good value for under $100 a night, but had plenty better at a similar price.

“Central Hotel Townsville”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2010

Have recently stayed there again and am glad to say that not only has it changed hands ,and some room improvements are being made .

Would still only recommend it for a stop over or a budget requirement

“seedy hotel but nice reception staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

Friendly, helpful reception staff at the very central Central City Motel. Our double room was a decent size with unremarkable fittings. In spite of the air conditioning, which was noisy and drafty, the room was stuffy and stale-smelling (but not technically dirty).

We didn't get any sleep thanks to a loud, obnoxious, drunken couple next door. The rooms are in no way soundproof.

Not a very restful stay. Recommended to people who like to drink immoderately and argue loudly.

Stayed July 2009, travelled as a couple
