LikedHad a wonderful stay at the Ardo. The Ocean View Corner Suite was luxurious and offered stunning wraparound views. My meal at Marmor was absolutely delectable.

Ardo Townsville reviews
“Loved it! Roof top bar & the pool is the best! We’ll be back!”
LikedEverything! We arrived mid afternoon & the bar wasn’t open yet & The Ville is literally right next door so having access to the additional facilities was a bonus.
“Perfect paradise in Townsville.”
LikedAwesome location. Beautiful infinity pool with amazing views.
“Perfect place to relax in comfort with magnificent views and location.”
LikedPerfect location and very clean. The staff were incredibly helpful. The area in front of the hotel had a beautiful view and in the late afternoon is in shade and open to any ocean breeze so perfect for relaxing with a drink after working all day. Equally the restaurant is in the same location and outdoor dining with beautiful food was fantastic.
“A stunning hotel, linked with the next door hotel, so double the facilities. Excellent staff and very slick modern…”
LikedAttention to detail, style, extremely comfortable, amazing pillows!
DislikedThere was some kind of convention going on, so the (wonderful) rooftop bar was slammed on a Monday night! The staff were not prepared but managed as best they could under the circumstances.
“Loved every minute”
LikedThe Japanese restaurant was extraordinary. Wonderful service and incredible food.
“We had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We only stayed one night but left feeling so relaxed and refreshed.”
LikedThe property was beautiful. The rooms are clean and roomy with beautiful views over the ocean or marina. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar is amazing with the best views.
