The Criterion Hotel is located in the best area of Rockhampton, and offers the choice between old school pub style accommodation or modern motel suites. If you opt for the former, you’ll be staying right upstairs from the pub in a room full of charm, character and history. Despite this old time feel, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay including a shower, television, air conditioning as well as free WiFi. There are 24 rooms throughout the hotel, and you can choose between a budget single, double or triple. If you need more space, opt for a standard triple or one of the internal or heritage suites, which cater for four to five guests each.
If modern day rooms are more your type of thing, you’ll enjoy the motel style rooms located at the back of the hotel. These are perfect whether you are travelling as a single, couple, family or group. They include ensuite bathrooms and other amenities such as access to Foxtel and kitchenettes. There are a number of choices including a studio suite, motel suite, disabled suite, family room, junior suite or king suite.
