Central Holborn Apartments wins praise for its walkable location near restaurants, the stadium and city sights, plus convenient secure parking, but many reviews report inconsistent cleanliness and upkeep, with worn furnishings, stained carpets, dirty dishes and air-conditioning leaks or odours.
Guests appreciate the pool, and some note the gym is small and can smell musty. Apartments are often spacious and quiet, though decor feels dated and bed comfort varies. Service is frequently friendly and helpful, yet a few stays saw poor issue resolution or booking mishaps. Overall, expect a convenient base with variable quality.

Holborn Central is in a good location with a variety of restaurants and a cinema with a15 minute walk to Woolworths and the mail. Our two bedroom apartment was a decent size and quiet. The room was very run down and dirty. The showers had mildew. You could hardly see our the windows. There was several things broken the door to the washing machine and dryer, broken and missing remotes for the air conditioning. The couch was very small and uncomfortable. The beds medium comfort. There a very small gym which smelt Misty and of sweat and had not water cooler or towels. There is secure underground parking and the best thing was the pool. With a bit of tlc and repair it could have been a good unit but servicing is lacking.

Really lovely place. Welcoming, clean, feels new and so quiet inside the apartments. Right by the creek, could probably catch a nice red bream or trevally by throwing a line in! Very central, can walk to stadium, town centre, pubs, clubs and restaurants. Secure parking and secure building, felt very safe staying here. Slept very well, comfortable beds and furniture. Will definitely stay here again.

Had a five day stay, apartment was okay but quite dated and really needs a good clean and a bit of TLC. We had issues with a leaking ceiling, in the lounge, from the hole where the missing ceiling fan should be (which talking to reception it’s clear that it won’t be fixed anytime soon). The air conditioning also constantly dripped water leaving puddles on the floor and was noisy in the bedrooms. Quite poorly equipped for self catering e.g only one knife (a bread knife) for food preparation and a random mix of odd mismatched cutlery. Property does have a nice roof top pool and secure underground parking but I would not stay again.

Time we spent well there loved the views from the top floor, but as we started to settle in and actually take notice of the place the it was not clean properly, dished still had lip prints and hand prints on them, dishes, pots and cutlery was not washed up and cleaned properly, floor was making the bottom of our foot black not sure if they mopped, sheets had stains on them, curtains had dirt or mould on it, fans and lights dusty and looked like they haven’t been cleaned in ages. It’s not kids safe for toddlers sharp edges on the coffee tables and the tile is not good if they slip and fall, only safe place was the bedroom that had carpet. Tv is outdated so if you do stay here make sure you bring a projector or Xbox or something just to have entertainment. Pool was good but as we started to notice the glass on the pool was dirty. DoorDash pretty good to order and collect down stairs but other then that it’s was not very clean and tidy specially if you have little ones that touch everything I wouldn’t recommend.

Property Vine Holborn at Central, is probably the worst room that i have stayed worldwide. As a self contained apartment the draws, cutlery and cooking utensils were that old and rusted. Taps in the kitchen, and bathrooms leaked and all walls throughout the apartment were a disgrace, several lights did not work and dead insect were in most room. The couch and chairs were filled with crumbs and all ledges had dust and grime.

The carpets were stained with an overall dirty appearance. Room advertised said 2 bathrooms, we had one and very slippery. Night 3, air-con in smallest room suddenly developed an unbearable foul smell. Shared air-con control for 3 rooms would not to turn the air-con off. Was unable to enter the room for sleep. Had to ring emergency number 12pm, no other rooms available, was instructed to turn off main air-con switch which shut down all 3 air-cons. Was a pity as the room had the potential of being great if the maintenance had been up to scratch. Pool also needs rails to assist with getting in and out.

Look, some of these properties are not as nice as others. Some "owners" choose not to maintain a high quality and as a guest you its the luck of the draw it would seem. We changed apartments the next morning after arriving after hours, due to the first apartment being dirty, grotty and without proper working air conditioners However the 2nd apartment was fine.

Overall the cleanliness wasn't great. There are hair and stains on the bed sheets, broken screen doors in both living room and master bedroom. The pots and pans are so dirty that aren't usable. It just doesn't look like the property was properly maintained & I stayed in room HC30.

Very uncared for rooms, terrible ants. Whilst you could at a stretch call it clean - everything was very old and tarnished (all lamp bases and metal rusty, corners of showers rusty, toilet roll holders rusty. Bed mattresses very thin and no pillow tops. Balcony doors rusted shut, screen doors shabby. No rubbish bin. Uncomfortable furniture. And very expensive. Will not revisit and do not recommend.

Very disappointed. Have stayed here before but this time a total let down. AC only worked properly in 2nd bedroom. Room needs a good clean. Lights full of bugs. Brought this up with reception and no offer of moving us told nothing they could do. Said they need new cleaning staff so please lodge complaint with the property owners. Uncomfortable 2 nights as AC not working properly and weather was humid. Two of the AC units probably need a service and a good clean. They have multiple properties and something should have to be done to make our stay in Townsville more comfortable.

I liked the pool & the location. The air con didn't work on first night. Very uncomfortable when I paid for an aircon room. receptionist was helpful to change my room for the next 5 nights. I sent an email to explain my disappointment with the broken aircon & never got a response. The doona cover was stained. Same stains on the door with a hair on it. Cockroach in the room. Outdoor furniture very stained & cigarette hole in the chairs. Would not recommend to stay here.

They moved my booking (which was booked in March) from a 2 bedroom apartment to a double room. Took 2.5hrs but they eventually put us up in a different hotel then back with them the next night. They are expecting us to pay for the night they messed up and they took the funds out of my bank account 2 days after check out. The manager states that because he paid 3 times the amount for one nights accommodation I should still pay for their accommodation even though they made the mistake. Will never stay with this hotel group again. The manager is a joke.

They are expecting us to pay for the night they messed up and they took the funds out of my bank account 2 days after check out. The manager states that because he paid 3 times the amount for one nights accommodation I should still pay for their accommodation even though they made the mistake. Will never stay with this hotel group again. The manager is a joke.

I would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay. The staff are fantastic and responsive, the location is very handy with some good dining options on site. I found the bed a little uncomfortable the first night and asked if a mattress topper could be fitted, this was done within a few hours. I will stay here again.

A perfect stopover for me and my family - husband and two older children. Reception team were super helpful when we arrived late and couldn’t receive the text on a UK mobile. 3 bed apartment very comfortable and well equipped. We all slept very well. Parking underneath a bonus. Would recommend.

Overall ordinary accommodation. Walls covered in marks and stains, grubby showers, broken handles in bathrooms. Overall just very poorly maintained. Service is friendly and undercover parking is a bonus

Holborn Central is in a good location with a variety of restaurants and a cinema with a15 minute walk to Woolworths and the mail. Our two bedroom apartment was a decent size and quiet. The room was very run down and dirty. The showers had mildew. You could hardly see our the windows. There was several things broken the door to the washing machine and dryer, broken and missing remotes for the air conditioning. The couch was very small and uncomfortable. The beds medium comfort. There a very small gym which smelt Misty and of sweat and had not water cooler or towels. There is secure underground parking and the best thing was the pool. With a bit of tlc and repair it could have been a good unit but servicing is lacking.

Really lovely place. Welcoming, clean, feels new and so quiet inside the apartments. Right by the creek, could probably catch a nice red bream or trevally by throwing a line in! Very central, can walk to stadium, town centre, pubs, clubs and restaurants. Secure parking and secure building, felt very safe staying here. Slept very well, comfortable beds and furniture. Will definitely stay here again.

Great hotel in a central location to CBD, sports stadium, Ross River sidewalk & entertainment. Apartment had heaps of space & well appointed. As I arrived late, aircon & lights were kindly left on for convenience. Great value Hotel.

Secure property, check in was easy enough. Room is smaller than we thought and needs a bit of maintenance/update as carpet is a bit worn. Location is good, close to cinema, restaurants and Qld country bank stadium.

I have used the Holburn previously many times over the past 10 years. That is why I booked there this trip. I was really disappointed. The property is now very tired looking and in need of a complete refurbishment. My apartment had many cockroaches running around the unit so I had no choice but to put all food etc in the fridge at all times. Thank goodness there were cafes and eateries nearby. The reception staff seemed to keep strange irregular hours, so connecting with them was difficult. Also, read their cancellation policy. They do not refund. Overall, I would not stay there again as it wasn't a pleasant stay.

Disappointing. The bed only had a sheet on it, for someone like me that struggles without a blanket and not a single one available sleeping was a struggle. The TV - only a tiny 32inch. Could it be spared? I probably won’t stay here again. There’s is better value for similar money in Townsville
