    The hotel had a lovely, cozy atmosphere with beautiful decorations. The common areas were easily accessible, making it convenient for senior people like myself to navigate. The hotel staff were attentive and always made sure we were comfortable.

    I would have appreciated if the children working there could have provided more assistance with carrying luggage, especially for senior guests.

    The Orchid Guest House in Townsville is exceptional. The interior is stunning, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and there are charming details everywhere. The wifi is reliable and the rooms have their own fridge and freezer. We initially planned to stay for 2 nights, but extended our stay to 4 because it's the best hostel we've ever experienced.

    It was all superb.

    We got great value for our money at the guesthouse. The room was clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the city center and yet quiet. The staff, particularly Fran at the reception, was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome.

    The morning meal could have been improved with more variety.

    I loved that the owner was really nice and gave us a thorough explanation of everything at check-in. the bungalow was perfect for us as a group of 5 with everything we needed. the location is great, close to the city but still in a quiet area. Plus, it's conveniently close to castle hill.

    Felt really comfortable, no complaints.

    They provided a free pick-up service. The place had a picnic area and a garden with BBQ facilities, perfect for a gourmet meal. , they gave me complimentary bottled water, because who doesn't love tap water?

    They ran out of bottled water. Tragic.

    I had a lovely stay at this guesthouse, it felt like home away from home. the dorms were clean and cozy, with beds made weekly. the bathrooms were spotless and the shared kitchen, although a bit small, was well equipped. the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, just like a caring grandmother. I even had the chance to see some wildlife on site, like tree frogs and possums. It was a peaceful place, great for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere after 11pm.

    Some fellow guests and personnel were not the most cheerful bunch.

    The room at Orchid Guest House was cozy and comfortable, making me feel right at home. The air-conditioning was a big plus during the hot Townsville weather. The flat-screen TV was great for catching up on my favorite shows after a long day of exploring.

    Personally, I'm not a big fan of showers, so the bathroom with showers only was a bit of a downside for me. But hey, I get that some people love them, so it's just my own preference.

    We stayed at Orchid Guest House for 2 nights and it was the best hostel we've ever been to. Fran, the owner, gave us a spacious and clean room with a fan and AC. The WiFi worked perfectly and there was even a kitchen where we could cook. The highlight was being able to do laundry for free, such a nice touch. The location is great, just a short walk to the town center and easy access to everything by car. a lovely and colorful guest house with friendly staff and cute details everywhere.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The hotel provided comfortable beds and a good supply of hot water. It was conveniently located near cafes, a club, and a popular beach promenade. Plus, there were plenty of nearby amenities such as supermarkets.

    The property did not live up to its advertisement as a two-bedroom accommodation. It had outdated interiors, limited natural lighting, and insufficient soundproofing.

    The room at Orchid Guest House was cozy and comfortable, with a flat-screen TV for some relaxed downtime after a day of exploring. I loved the air-conditioning, which kept me cool during the Townsville heat.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the shower in the room. But hey, that's just me.

    We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The staff was friendly and gave us helpful advice about the area. The room was clean and tidy, with comfortable beds. The location was great, with plenty of parking available.

    Nothing that we didn't like.
