Guest Reviews
- sarah (8/5): Would stay again - The asthetic and calm vibe The pillows were terrible. The food was far too expensive for what it was
- Clark (10/5): Super classy!!! - Incredibly classy place. Rooftop bar is gorgeous, as is the pool and the Japanese restaurant was outstanding. True cocktail artistry, as well!

- Simone (8/5): -
- Paul (10/5): Location location location - Location location location. Exceptional staff , facilities and obviously location.my daughters used the spa for a treatment that was also excellent.also had dinner at the restaurant's as well all very good.the old saying you get what you pay for not cheap but well worth it well done Ardo No bath tud in our room not sure if other rooms have a bath
- Emma (9/5): Absolutely Amazing everything was perfect the food service and accommodation outstanding - I love the room service the food was amazing.

- Tanya (10/5): - We didn't get breakfast. Everything was pretty good.
- Zac (10/5): Couples retreat! - Beautiful location looking over the Coral Sea and Magnetic Island. Close location to jump onto the ferry to Magnetic Island. Relaxing location on the Ardo rooftop. Great spot for a couples getaway.
- Kate (8/5): Great setting but the bars and restaurants need to extended hours. - Location and ocean view. All the bars and restaurants close. The only place to get food or a drink after 830-9pm Friday, Sat Sunday is in the casino! The only alternative at the Ardo is room service. The roof to bar was booked out for a drink both night. Late check out $50/hour.
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Minyoung (10/5): Excellent choice - Good music and clean environment of the pool. Nice interior and excellent view of the room Wifi connection was a bit weak
- kayla (10/5): Relaxing, clam and clean! - I love staying at Ardo, the rooms are so clean and always have a fresh feeling to them. The staff are wonderful and the choice of dining is great! The rooms however at night do get a little hot but waking up to the view is magical!
- craig (7/5): We enjoyed our visit from Sydney primarily to watch the NRL but at $600 night it is relatively expen - Nice view, nice property and good staff. Very well decorated common areas Breakfast and gym offsite. Casting didn’t work so we could watch very little. The room interiors are cold and hard. I appreciate Townsville is warm but some soft furnishing or floor rugs would prove the bland rooms
- Matilda (10/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Beautiful hotel, amazing views. The pool area is so nice and relaxing, the rooms are really spacious and clean. The nice - Everything, my favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

- Karen (7/5): A lovely short break, in a fabulous facility but they are not quiet hitting 5 star service levels - A fabulous location with stunning views of the city and sea. The infinity pool has the most stunning view of Magnetic island and was superb The staff were very pleasant, but we experienced a couple of occasions of lack of service due to forgetfulness and what seemed to be inexperience

- Lauriely (10/5): Lovely stay and would definitely come again - Loved the location, the cleanliness of the rooms, spacious bathrooms. The amenities and access to the Ville pool and the gym. It would be good if the gym had a pull up bar. Also couldn't access the Netflix on the TV through the casting app??

- Christiane (8/5): -
- Penny (7/5): - Everything wss good no issues Smart tv did not have kayo for NRL
- Marcio (7/5): Lackinf basic services for someone on tourism in town - Spacious rooms, they let us check in even though we arrived early, in room dining is excellent and two very good restaurants at the facility. Infinity pool is also very good. The hotel does not have transfers (even if I wanted to pay) to the airport. This is such a basic hotel service that is unbelievable they cannot arrange airport transfers. Besides, if you are on tourism forger about this hotel. They do not have a concierge, all they do is give you one single pamphlet about tours but theu do not help with anything else, no suggestions, no reservations, no knowhow, nothing.
- carmen (10/5): - La comida del restaurante muy buena, pero muy lentos en preparación y servicio

- Anique (9/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): Loved this place. - Great team, even at the late hours of the night. Great comms prior to arrival and all the way throughout. Amazing location and view from the ocean rooms. I'm disappointed by the absence of seaside access but understand that croc safety is important.... :)
And evening on the rooftop restaurant was sensational. Oh look, it'd be nice to have a free lobster lunch but really, there is nothing to complain about.
- Karl (7/5): Amazing location but not worth the money - The location The prices of everything
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Gatto (9/5): We will definitely be back later in the year - Our stay was amazing enjoyed everything, food was superb. Ony negative was we couldn't watch movies...

- Lily (10/5): -
- Manfred (8/5): - Location Sharing of services with adjacent hotel, slow internet
- Ian (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): We came back twice in 3 weeks. - Beautiful view. Great room. Good that you can use both the Ville and ARDO’s facilities.
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Lesley (5/5): Disappointing - Good position, ample parking We had a so called Marina View Room booked, the only view from our veranda was a brick wall and rocks. No batteries in the tv remote, the iPad to contact reception wasn’t working. No personal items in the bathroom (eg shower cap).
We also noticed that the gardens along the pathway connecting the hotel to the casino were in need of some weeding. This hotel has definitely dropped its standards since our previous stays.
- Sonia (10/5): -
- Gary (9/5): Very good. - The room was great. Bed was comfortable. The rooftop pool was a good experience. All 3 of our credit cards were declined upon check-in. This was very distressing at the beginning of our stay. Our bank could not advise us as to why this happened. Apparently the reception staff made an error with the account selection. It took 2 staff members and 15 minutes to resolve. Not a happy beginning.

Room service is a massive plus. Very expensive for a basic hotel room
- Rafael (9/5): Schönes Hotel mit fabelhafter Aussicht - Sauberkeit, Ausstattung, Pool, Lage Pool nur bis 19 Uhr geöffnet
- Evans (8/5): - Great location, very good quality. Really good food! Waking up to a concrete ceiling with consteuctiin writing on it. Could paint it.
- Kate (7/5): Great weekend escape, felt like I was on holiday despite being 25mins from home. - Amazing views, great dining options and shared access to the ville. Check in was a bit delayed. Staff unclear about some options such as coffee in the morning.
