Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

8/10 Good
"I booked this hotel because I really wanted somewhere with a great view, and it definitely did not disappoint! The **view was easily my favourite part of the stay**, along with the **rooftop pool**. I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. If you’re looking for a hotel with **amazing views and a great rooftop pool**, I would definitely recommend it!"
