Grand Hotel Townsville is 5 minutes' walk from both The Strand beachfront precinct and Townsville Marina. The Magnetic Island Ferry Terminal is within a 10-minute walk. There is a bus stop directly across the road from the hotel.

I appreciated that even though I made a last minute booking a few minutes before arrival, all due to cancellation from my previous choice of accommodation. I was stressed, just flew into the country it was late (11pm) , But the Grand hotel managed to provide my family and I, an accommodation, What was once a stressful situation because stress free, the staffs where very nice and very helpfully. Such a pleasant stay at The Grand Hotel.

    Lovely hostel with a gorgeous pool area. Lots of nice seating areas dotted around the hostel and the bedroom and bathroom were clean. There is a shuttle bus that takes you to the ferry/bus terminal a few times a day which was really helpful.
