Reviews
Stayed there for a total of two weeks and tried different rooms. Overall the rooms were good, some had private bathrooms which is definitely a plus.nThe hostel in itself is super clean, same for the shared bathroom/toilets.nKitchen can get busy at rush hour but you’ll always find a spot to cook.nOverall the best part was definitely the interactions with the staff, as each and every one of them are super kind and helpful.nWould recommend staying there 100%
My experience with Civic started off well. It all seemed like a normal place to stay, friendly, quite clean and peaceful staff.nA lovely woman assisted me and took me to my room.nThe first night, I tried to sleep at around 11:00pm but no one was in the room, the lights were on and people were having fun outside on a Tuesday night.nThe following nights were the same but I understood that was the dynamic of the hostel and I chose to be tolerant. I even saw one of the staff members smoking and having fun with the clients at 11pm another night Thursday.nOn Saturday, I had the opportunity to do my first shift at the stadium, many people were working there from the hostel so afterwards everyone including me had some drinks and a chat in the common areas after 10pm.nThe following morning, to my surprise, the same staff member who had been having fun with other people, kicked me and my friend out of the hostel.nHe was very unfair because he hadn’t warned us before and he wouldn’t accept any other type of solution. So we found ourselves with no place to stay.nI believe that was an utterly disproportionate measure to deal with our situation.
Myself and my partner stayed here for one night. We booked a private room with a private en-suite. It was simple but had everything we needed. Hot water, towels provided, even a huge fridge freezer in the room. There are plenty of little reading corners and areas to relax. A good sized kitchen and laundry area, and a huge rooftop swimming pool. It’s very quiet and has a humble feel to the place. They’ve won awards for cleanliness and stuff like that too. They offer a free shuttle service from the hostel to the ferry and bus terminals too. The lady who dropped us off was very friendly. Overall I’d definitely recommend. Thank you.
Travelling with the train, the hostel was just a 18' walk. Well located with a supermarket close and an easy walk to the marina. I only spent a night before taking the ferry the next day, but I found the outside area of the hostel lovely as well as the common spaces to study, work or read I didn't use the kitchen or common bathrooms so I cannot say. I was in a 4-bed-female-dorm with our private bathroom. The downside is that the cleaning of the bathroom is up to the people sharing it, so it depends with who you end up with. I really appreciated the receptionist showing around leading to room + showing where facilities are. I would come back if I need to stop by Townsville again!
One the best hostels I’ve ever been.nnClean, nice and quiet at night. Arthur is the loveliest receptionist I’ve ever met and also Christian is very nice. Both really helpful.nnThe only reason I give 4 stars instead 5, is because I think they should do something with the kitchen, when is busy it gets SO hot that you can’t even breath there. Maybe put a big air con and just turn it on between 7 and 9 when everyone is cooking. Also the bathroom of the last floor is a little bit old but is fine.nnI loved the place I would definitely recommend it :
