Clean, amazing value for money and extremely friendly staff”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gladstone Reef Hotel. The room was spacious, tidy and the staff were extremely helpful. The hotel itself is located very close to The Dock at East Shores, bars, restaurants and a 10-15 minute walk to the supermarket. Breakfast was included in our stay and while it was basic we ordered additional items to compliment our breakfast and as guests of the hotel, we received a fantastic discount. We will absolutely be back to stay again.

Exceptional”

We had reason to stay a night in the Gladstone area and chose The Reef Hotel. We found it to be centrally located, well priced and secure. Free under cover parking and a continental breaky thrown in. Room and bathroom facilities were clean and spacious. Bar and bistro facilities very good. Would certainly recommend this establishment to other travellers.

Nice stay”

The motel is separate to the hotel. Our room was newly renovated, so I guess all the other rooms are also renovated. The bar fridge was sitting on the new carpet, so won't be longer before the carpet is smelly and water damaged. No extractor fan in the bathroom so you have to leave the door open when showering. Otherwise the heat from your shower, will set of the fire alarm and because they have a sign warning you. You will have to pay K1 fine for setting it off. Go figure. Staff weren't very helpful with the free WiFi password. So used our own data. Food at the hotel restaurant and staff were very good. Very professional. Location is close to the newly constructed broad walk, kids water play area, the navel gun boat the "Gladstone" and beautiful gardens. Good to see some money been splashed around. I'm guessing Rio Tinto and other investers had something to do with it. Clever architects, engineers and construction contractors don't come cheap. I don't think the local council had much to do with it, apart from giving its approval. Maybe I'm being a bit judgmental.

Room & Pool with a Great View!”

We opted for a room with balcony and a lovely view of Gladstone Harbour. Buffet continental breakfast was included and the hotel is open for lunch and dinner daily so you don't have far to go! Love the private rooftop pool too.

Fantastic ”

Great ammenities excellent price. My new place to stay in Gladstone. Food at hotel also top notch. Definitely recommend.

Good for overnight stay when going to Heron Island”

Hotel has all you need for an inexpensive overnight stay in Gladstone. Breakfast is included. Walking distance to the marina for the Heron Island transfer.

Good to stay a night ”

There's rooftop swimming pool ( no heat) few insects there so look dirty we didn't swim in but the sitting area is nice to look at the gladstone view. Close to marina and restaurants. Taxi to airport 24$ but from marina shouldn't be over 10$(should be 5-7$) we got cheat taxi drive around. Normally just 1.3 kilo from marina

Very good”

In general all was good with stay. Gladstone very quiet with lots of shops closed down (Covid?). Bed was VERY soft - not great after a long day's drive.

Great Value”

Although an older hotel it has been refurbished and our room was fresh and clean and modern. Tariff included continental breakfast which wasnt extensive but fine and if you wanted more you could have a very generous hot course for only $6. Dinner was excellent, large meals and great specials. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great Value”

This is the second time we’ve stayed here in the last 6 months. Great value,( it was cheaper this time than 6 months ago). Super clean with a very comfortable bed and plenty of hot water - what more do you really need? Added bonus is the restaurant in the hotel that the accommodation is attached to.

Good Basic Pub”

We have stayed here a few times and enjoyed the experience. This time however they did not accept our seniors card on the specials dinners and also the breakfast reverted to a "basic continental" whereas in the past a full breakfast was included in our package. This was not made clear in the listing which was unfortunate. Rooms are small but clean. They upgraded us to a balcony room which was appreciated but was too hot to use at Christmas. Great view from the bar to have a cold drink and watch the sunset.
