The Civic Guest House Backpackers Inn is one of those hostels that you thank the God of backpackers for blessing you with. You simply cannot fault it in anyway and it's nice to stay there. The place itself is a good fifteen- to twenty-minute walk from the Greyhound bus stop, but the owners will come and pick you up on request. From the hostel, the main town centre and nightclub areas are about a five- to ten-minute walk.
The hostel is immaculately clean and has a dedicated permanent staff for cleaning (rather than temporary backpacking staff). Areas are thoroughly cleaned -- so kitchens and bathrooms are pleasant. Even the rooms are given a shot of air-freshener to make them smell nicer. We were asked to leave our not-so-fresh smelling shoes outside! Our room had on-suite bathroom, refrigerator, air-conditioning, and a fan.
The Civic has a TV room with a good selection of videos to watch. No deposit required. Internet access is available at a reasonable price. There's a spa to be used at leisure as well. On Fridays, the Civic does a barbecue, with the first burger being free and then a small fee for each after that -- great value. Beer and wine are also available at a good price. The atmosphere is good and relaxed and the (new) owners are very pleasant. Recommended to stay if you're in Townsville.
