Outstanding view. I could sit on the balcony every day and never get tired of it. Room was very well equipped and nice. This looks like a 5 star hotel but it is not. The building is great but the staff indifferent. Basically a 14 story nice motel. I liked it and would stay here again

We love staying at The Aquarius. The upper floor rooms have an amazing view of the sea and Magnetic Island. The rooms are comfortable, have kitchenette facilities snd the property is a short walk to all of the bars and restaurants in town. This is our go to place for accommodation in Townsville. Very happy to recommend.
