Hotels near Quoin Island, Gladstone

After a torrid few weeks travelling back and forward from South Qld to help care for a very ill close relative in Gladstone , we arrived there at the Central Apartments late on the Thursday afternoon . Staff could not have been nicer and more welcoming were the folks on reception , which under our family circumstances was very much appreciated . Room was large and well appointed and the large eastern facing balcony was extra special . Fridge was massive , as well as other kitchen gear was good. My wife would have loved a TV in the main bedroom as you battle the small fry for control of the lounge TV when Sesame st , Bluey and other children programmes are on . One extra amount of thanks when the manager lady ( sorry did not catch your name ) and Rayne at the front desk printed out a eulogy for me . Especially with my lack of IT skills when my email never came through to the hotel a few times. Many thanks ladies and gents in a stressful and sensitive time for me and the family .

This was an excellent motel for us. A nice, simple place too stay, an easily-accessible Tesla charger and close to a good choice of eateries. But what made it special was Carol's friendly, accommodating attitude. We had a problem a few days after we stayed there on our way home - Carol just said ”Sure, I can help” and the problem was solved. Thanks, we'll stay again.

Well - where do you start ? We arrived on time - unlike the front desk personnel. After a few phone calls we got someone - ”very busy elsewhere”. Then came the usual rubbish - offers of wrong room. Finally we got what we ordered. Why do they do this. It starts the whole visit off on the wrong foot. They have two car-parks - completely separate. We weren't told this to start so had trouble finding our allotted spot. While we were told by the ”handyman” we could park anywhere - the ”Manager” said we ”MUST” park in the spot he said. Wifi didn't work - the ”Manager” said he didn't know why - someone had messed it up. When we asked for two sets of keys he refused. Finally - after much discussion he told us the other set was lost. As there were 3 of us - 2 sets was important. You can't leave the building/room without the keys - the door auto locks. So if one person goes out - even to the car - the ones remaining can't really leave the room and get back in. Once we got these minor mishaps fixed things started to get better. Unit is spacious and comfortable. Easy fits 4. View was quite good - good TV/Foxtel - good kitchen - quite good layout (bathrooms (2) and bedrooms (2). Very well located in town. Good balcony. Wifi was good when finally going. Top Thai and Indian nearby (also Maccas) - and Newsagency - all easy walking distance. Yacht Club well worth a visit - good food and drink. Relatively easy walking - but good parking if needed. Quite easy walk to marina, information centre and cafes. Easy drive to nearby places - eg Tannum Sands. Yes - we would return but hopefully things will be smoother on check-in.

There was a good restaurant nearby. The room was very clean and I was able to relax. I felt the service was very good.

A very friendly and affordable hotel, perfect for tourists taking the Gladstone ferry to the island. The shop owner will drive to the dock the next day. They also helped us store our extra luggage in the store for free for four days and picked it up when we came back from the island. Very good, definitely recommended!

I totally recommend staying here then staying anywhere else in Gladstone. From check in, you are welcomed by Nita, who BTW is nothing short then amazing. Quick and easy check in. Has international info readily at hand. She pretty much is your best google while you are here in Gladstone. My room (recently reno) was just spectacular. The sea view was to die for. Watching little to huge ships sail in. At night while the docks are all lit up, is truly beautiful 😍 Mini bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. Clean, fresh and comfortable bed!! Ahhhh now the restaurant downstairs, Dimitri’s... I have no words to even come close to describing their culinary menu. I personally would recommend Mezes for a starter👌 Moreton Bay bugs for the main 🤩 Baklava for the dessert ❤ Divine Fine dining at its best! Compliments to the chef and the ladies FOH ❤

The staff at this property are amazing. We had to leave another property due to cleanliness and hygiene reasons and as soon as we spoke to reception they could not do enough for us arranging a room immediately even though it was before 9.30am. The room was exceptionally clean, had a fantastic view of the harbour, and a well stocked reasonably priced mini bar. Book a harbour view room for your stay - early risers will not be disappointed with the sunrises from your room. Bed was comfortable but too soft for our liking, and verandah was quite small so couldn't sit outside which are our only complaints. Lovely restaurant on site, walking distance to pubs, shops, restaurants (the Thai restaurant outside the hotel would have to be one of the best we have had) and banks.

Great location across the road from railway station and walking distance to Woolworths’s, restaurants and shops. Staff are friendly and meals are good inside the hotel. The rooms are good but do need updating there was issues with hot water to some rooms while we were there, fly screens all need replacing on the windows. It’s great they supply breakfast cereals in room and have washing machine & dryer for guests to use. It can get a little loud some nights rooms are right near entrance. It’s think the grounds need a little more love there was lots of rubbish around in the gardens. Over all it’s cheap budget accommodation nothing fancy.

Surprised at how well the property was. The Easter holidays unfortunately had the hotel facilities not operating at full capacity but on the whole the cleanliness and service that we received was excellent. Gladstone as a whole was a surprise packet!

It started off well (sarcasm). Arrived in the evening and they didn’t have my confirmed fully paid booking and told me I had the wrong place. After a conversation and then looking at their system, they found my booking email but there was no room still. Could put me up for the night, but the rest of the week would be sorted in the morning. And, it was sorted. Failed to contact me to advise though. I needed to go to reception. The staff were pleasant and I understand these things happen. My issues were with the room and housekeeping. The room stank. It wasn’t quite a mustiness or a rotten smell, kind of something in between. There was a thick layer of dust on all the wall hanging. The bathroom extraction fan was totally clogged with dust so that it didn’t actually extract anything. There was always little fruit flies buzzing about and the cockroach climbing over the TV wasn’t pleasant. The usual extra hard bed you find in hotels 😦. No instructions for the oven or dishwasher. Took a little to figure them out. In fact, no room compendium so no information about anything. Frying pan handle was snapped off and just sitting next to the pan. The furniture seemed a bit old and sitting on the sofa made my allergies flare up. As for housekeeping, in addition to never dusting anything, all they did each day was empty the trash, triangle the toilet paper and only half the time, make the bed. I had to ask for fresh towels. The towels I left on the floor for housekeeping to remove each day, stayed there the whole week. They just never took them. I don’t expect housekeeping do to the odd dishes that I had. I find most serviced apartments do, but not here, so I did them myself, but housekeeping never replaced the dishwasher detergent so dishes were done with just water 😕. I put a pizza box next to the bin for housekeeping to remove, but they didn’t. It stayed there all week, and in fact it toppled over and prevented the cupboard for the bin from closing, like full blown half ajar, not just a little crack. I left it like that the whole week wondering if housekeeping would try to see why it wasn’t closing and remove the pizza box, but didn’t happen. I won’t stay at this place again
