Hotel Allen

Great place very social. Staff awesome. Nice setting all round.

Love this old pub. The beer garden and restaurant are classic Aussie Iconic must see places. It isn't pretty. Nor is it fancy. It is honest. The team that works hard are always friendly and welcoming. I love The Allen.

We stayed at this lovely themed hotel for.1 night last week. With the rooms being so cheap we didn’t expect much but boy did this hotel deliver!

Firstly I’m not sure what all of rooms themes are as we didn’t look too much into it but it seems we booked the “abandoned cook house” suite. The detail that has gone into marking you feel like you’re actually there is astounding. Chipped paintwork, random exposed concrete wall plugs. An authentic vintage Sealy mattress and 32in Hisense tv atop a 1star energy rated fridge are just the beginning of the ambiance.

Obviously safety is a key thing so some 4th wall breaking has to occur but it’s subtle enough that you don’t get pulled out of the suspension of belief. (The warning sign regarding using the shower with the [non functioning] exhaust on, so as to not cause the smoke alarms to go off.

Overall if you’re looking for a cheap, quick, easy no fuss. Themed hotel. Hotel Allen is up there with the best. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other themed rooms.

Came to tville for a friend’s health procedure. Town run out of hotels due to long weekend and holidays. I’ve never stayed in “pub hotel” before. So Allen was the last left. stayed in #30. Was a great surprise. Friendly bar staffs. Friendly patrons. And the lady behind the reception was awesome. Now I wish I stayed longer! My kind of accommodation. Definitely will stay here again. Oh, and it’s opposite supermarket and only couple blocks from the strand.

Will always come here perfect spot ,best service ,clean place .

I stay here often due to the great location and price. Needs upgrading but it’s clean and comfortable. I love that they let us park our motorcycles inside on the grass!

Great location....beach...restaurants.
transport.
Comfortable bed and pillows. Very clean. The staff are awesome. ...helpful...especially Carole

Not one to usually leave a review but the atmosphere tonight at trivia was great. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Special mention to the two lovely staff members Shelly and kath for always making my visits feel special. Keep up the good work guys!

We have been going to Trivia for a few weeks now and we look forward to it every week, the staff are amazing, Kath especially, she is always on the go but still makes time for her guests, Kaths customer service is a credit to your establishment and we won't go anywhere else on a Tuesday, the food is touch and go but is still good. Keep up the good work.

Great food great people and kept simple it was a pleasure

Meals were great, the service was amazing from Kath, she is so considerate and funny, pretty sure my grandad wanted to adopt her. Really old hotel but it adds to the charm. We will definitely be back.

Stayed here a night. Such great value for money! The bar is cool and has a good staff : punter thing going on. A guy at the bar said ‘your a cowboy aren’t ya?’ My life has never been the same since

Really nice pub food, good specials, amazing cheesy bacon garlic bread, not a large beer selection the usuals + tiny mountain. IMO It needs an independent craft brew tap, looks like they have karaoke on Thursdays now if that's something you enjoy. Never stayed in a room or used the pool so can't comment on those facilities. The pool looks nice, As for the location, it would be perfect if you're visiting the city, it's close to everything city/ocean side.

Great old hotel with a lot of character, the food is wonderful and the staff is real friendly and helpful.
The pool looks very inviting with all the plants everywhere, it is just beautiful.
Thank you we'll be back

Older building but value for money the Allen is the only pub i stay in when in Townsville, very friendly staff , im sad to say but the last meal i had there was roast chicken & roast veggies , i couldn't eat it that dried up chicken may have been a few days old veggies were great just not the chicken,

The staffs are great and fast responds. Room is nice and worth the price. In the morning, we got problem with the water. They let us have late check out with no drama, so we can have shower.

Outstanding value for money accommodation. Very handy location, nice pool, beer garden, friendly staff. I'd definitely stay here again!

Staff are fantastic, helpful and super friendly! Food was cooked brilliantly and plenty of it. Plenty of drinks to choose from and great prices. Rooms are also clean, great value and have comfy beds. Will be back!

The Hotel Allen is a great little local pub, the service from the manager on duty Kath was exceptional, she was such a pleasure to deal with and nothing was to much trouble, definitely service with a smile.

Great old pub. Stayed there with family in Suite 1. Good helpful staff, yummy food and great tropical gardens with pool. Very affordable and close to everything. Thanks for our stay overnight while travelling and exhausted.
