Gladstone Hotel Guide. Hotels in New Auckland, Gladstone, Australia

"The receptionist who greeted us was absolutely lovely, setting a warm and welcoming tone for our stay. The room itself exceeded expectations, especially for the price. It was surprisingly spacious for a studio apartment, spotlessly clean & tidy, with fantastic views over the harbour and a central location within walking distance of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping. We were also delighted to find a washing machine and dryer—an unexpected bonus. Being a week into a longer holiday up and down the Queensland Coast, it was great to be able to refresh our luggage. The only very minor downside was the lack of glassware, with just one wine glass and no champagne glasses. As our stopover happened to be on New Year’s Eve, my partner ended up drinking our lovely bottle of champagne out of a cup. But hey, it still tasted great, and it made for a funny memory—especially since the rest of the kitchenette was so well-stocked with cookware that you could practically host a dinner party… if only there had been a stovetop or oven! All in all, we found the whole experience amusing and had a fantastic stay. This will definitely be our new go-to road trip stopover!"
