I haven't had much experience at all in backpackers but I was impressed with the Civic Guesthouse. The staff have mostly been very friendly, accomodating and helpful, and the general atmosphere really positive and safe which is awesome. They have a good cleaning routine so the place is in good condition and maintained really well. It's in a great location and has all the amenities/facilities you need. Noise management is handled really well with a nighttime quiet rule. One negative comment I will make is that there is not really a system at all for recyclable items. There is just one bin for recyclables such as drinks cans but aside from that all waste goes into the general bins/landfill and this is pretty soul-crushing since there are so many people coming and going and therefore so much waste disposed of in this way. It would be great to have an improved system for this to sort waste and educate people in the process to be aware of where they are getting rid of their waste. Otherwise, thank you Civic for a great backpacking experience!

Excellent
GGuest UserThe soundproofing is not good. It is opposite the beach. It is very convenient to cook in the room.
We initially stayed for one night, but found it to be soo nice that we extended our stay for a few more days. We found especially the staff to be very nice and helpful but enjoyed the entire place. On our 6 week vacation this place has the best price value ratio soo far. We 10/10 recommend.
GGuest UserStayed two night at this motel. The motel was a clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable. The room was self contained with a kitchenette. Even though it is on a main road there was no noise either from the road or the guest at the hotel. Breakfast was ordered when we arrived and a continental breakfast was delivered each afternoon to the room which was great as we had a 6.00am flight on the last morning and was able to have breakfast before leaving. We frequently visit family in Townville and stay at a different location but in future we will be staying at Banjo Paterson Motor Inn.
I had tp go to Townsville for see a Doctor and had made that appointment couple of months ago, just picked a date. Weeks later I booked flights and hotel room only to discover that the Cowboys, the local footy team, was having a home game. There was no vacancy anywhere. Fortunately the good staff at the Colonial Rose arranged a room, that had been prepared before my arrival, on the ground floor as requested. I had never stayed there before but was treated as a loyal long term customer.
Start with positives, clean rooms (inside) location right on the beach, wifi works well, communication about our deluxe room not being suitable for booking with pet The negatives paid for a premium ocean room upfront for 4 nights and was assured on phone would be swapped out for a similar standard as had a small dog, what we got was a room straight out of the 80s, a family room with 3 beds no less. When we queried it, was told this is our best option as other rooms were literally just a bed, and much smaller. Ok, we thought not ideal and felt a bit ripped off, but our choice was to travel with our dog so ok work with it. Then the real crap started, our room was right next door to a kitchen of a busy restaurant, the restaurant used external ( I hope temporary ) refrigeration that was you guessed it parked outside our room. On one side of our door old boxes and other restaurant clutter, the other a compressor going off attached to a refrigerated trailer (one of 2). Then the poor staff had to walk past the room window over 80 times (we counted one night) each time 2 doors creaking and slamming to get provisions, this would go on until approx 11:30pm every night. The real fun was renovations in the same restaurant starting with drills at 7am, but it was okay as the mattresses (remember we had 3 beds for us both) kept us awake anyhow, as they were as old as the 80s decor and went some way to keeping a 30-year-old marriage in form, as we rolled towards each others embrace at every opportunity in the pit that I think was the middle. We left a day early tempted to give the room away but figured why share the misery? I wouldn't normally write a review as having worked in tourism and owned tourism businesses, I know it can sometimes be a bit hard to get things right, but having had a chat 3 times felt compelled as they simply couldn't give a shiiiite, offered no partial refund nor even a 10% dinner discount. Citing you used *********** smile bs more smiles, more bs can't do anything *BS did I mention work in tourism Up ya game, I won't even mention how the pool looked compared to marketing photos, makes me laugh too much, if I was so sleep deprived I would bother to upload photos.
