Rambutan Resort

Townsville|0.14km from Museum of Tropical Queensland
Just when we thought Townsville could not possibly have any more surprise offerings, we stepped into the Rambutan Resort on Flinders Street. The ground floor bar and small lobby belies what we found in arrival on the 3rd floor accommodation level. We have a relaxed Italian restaurant - Armati’s, fabulous bar, rooftop pool, poolside cabanas encircled on 3 sides by the accommodation suites. Our room was tastefully furnished, somewhat “Hamptons style”, large comfortable beds and while the ensuite was on the small side, this was compensated with an overly generous shower - were talking 1.8m x 1m. We did hit a minor hurdle with a water leak from a pipe in the bathroom ceiling, however management were prompt and efficient in their response and you could not really hope for more. The only concern is that with it’s own pool, bar and restaurant at your door - I mean really at your door- you might have no reason to leave and find you’ve missed out on some of the sights of Townsville. And Townsville really has a lot to offer. However this is now certainly my go to accommodation in Townsville.

The Palmer Collective

South Townsville|0.35km from Museum of Tropical Queensland
My father and I stayed here on the Anzac day weekend as we flew in to see the Cowboys game - the stadium is a stones throw away, so this is in a great location. A change in our original flight schedule saw us arrive in Townsville a couple hours earlier than originally anticipated, and we were lucky enough for our room to be ready to access then. Basic, affordable accommodation, with friendly staff, the Palmer Collective is a great choice in Townsville. In fact, I've stayed here on 3 of my 4 Townsville visits (the other 2 under it's former names of Ibis and Townsville Central). This will be my first choice when I return to Townsville next
Rydges Southbank Townsville, an EVT hotel

Rydges Southbank Townsville, an EVT hotel

South Townsville|0.36km from Museum of Tropical Queensland
We have been using Rydges SouthBank as our home base for quite a few years now due to its close proximity to the Football stadium and it is within walking distance to town and various eating places. We usually stay in the top grade rooms some of which have been updated and some are badly in need of an update. Luck of the draw which room you get allocated although they all cost the same regardless of fittings. We have found the staff to be friendly and helpful most of the time. We enjoy their Buffett breakfast and as Rydges members we get that as a 2 for one deal. Unfortunately their restaurant is no longer operational so the other perks of being Rydges members cannot be used. We do like the undercover off street parking for our car.

We had four bookings on the Friday evening, we arrived at 1:15pm, one rooms wasn’t clean which was okay as Check-In was 2pm. When I arrived back to the hotel a little after 3pm with my keys to the room, I went up and the room had not been cleaned. I went down to reception they did apologise and gave me another room key. A few staff members had called in sick, which is understandable at the post-Covid times. When we got to the the room it was run down and didn’t look like the photos at all. On our check out morning, the adjacent room, had obviously checked out early with housekeeping being in the room around 8am, making all sorts of noise and speaking really loudly, too bad if you wanted a sleep in. Our other friends had some issues too. They also had a weird cemetery photograph on the wall which seemed out of place. I was really hoping this would be a new place to stay as we are frequently in Townsville, next time let’s hope Rydges isn’t fully booked so we can stay there again.

Oaks Townsville Gateway Suites

South Townsville|0.41km from Museum of Tropical Queensland
If you are here in Townsville, choose this one, don’t hesitate, because this one has a fully functioning air conditioner. If there is no air conditioner in Townsville, or the temperature of the air conditioner is locked, it will keep you all night. Can't sleep at night. The girl at the front desk was very enthusiastic.

We had a couple of nights in Townsville and this hotel was a good location to easily walk around the sites of the city. We arrived early to check in, rooms not ready but were happy to store our luggage while we went out for lunch. Staff very pleasant at check in - but as seems the norm questions asked about if it was our first time in Townsville (and it was) and if we needed directions, information etc. Rooms clean & tidy, sufficient toiletries, view from tiny balcony over side street. Lounge chair very low to ground and very uncomfortable. Bed very comfortable. Wifi very fast. Hotel located within walking distance of most of the sites of Townsville. No breakfast supplied but restaurants in close proximity.

We stayed here while on a family trip for 5 nights. The lift in the car park wasn’t working the whole time we were there. The apartment was dirty, the couch was covered in stains, the carpet was dirty and needed replacing. All of the surfaces in the apartment were caked in dust. The shower in one of the bathrooms was broken, we reported this and were told someone would be right up to look at it, no one ever came. We needed two single beds in one room and had to call several times to confirm this, on the first call we were told that they didn’t have time to go and check, the second call we were told there was and when we called to confirm the last time we were told there actually wasn’t and that we would need to organise a fold out bed to be brought in by an outside company. There were pubes in the freezer, empty soft drink bottles in the cupboard. No coat hangers to hang up your clothes. No cleaning products in the apartment. We had to ask for dishwashing liquid so we could do our dishes. The shower/bath gel in the bathrooms was so thin that it seemed like someone had just refilled the bottles with water. Don’t waste your money by bothering to stay here.
Waters Edge the Strand

On the spur of the moment we decided to stay overnight in Townsville. We looked at many places but really wanted something on The Strand with some views. We decided to check out Waters Edge on the Strand. Went in to see what was available and the lovely Michelle was happy to let me check the 1 bedroom unit out before we committed. It was pretty good but no balcony. Michelle had a studio up on the next level with a balcony but it overlooked the pool so we opted for the first choice. Honestly, the major appeal in choosing to stay was how fabulous, friendly and helpful Michelle was! The unit was nice, although a tad dated. It was obvious there had been some upgrades. The bed was comfortable and having a kitchen, washing machine and dryer was a plus. We enjoyed our stay so much we extended a 2nd night. Only minuses was no balcony, no washing powder and it was very bright at night with light coming through the curtains and the bedroom binds. Pluses - spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped, central, secure parking and great views. Photos online were accurate so you know what to expect. Would definitely stay again although a higher floor with balcony would be better and also block some of the street light brightness.

We completed a 2 night stay 8th-10th February 2023 and it was the absolute worst! We were moved 4x on the same floor within 2hrs or less of checking in. The attitude from the receptionist was unacceptable. Strongly believe after so many moves, an upgrade offer would have been nice. However, the receptionist made us feel as if we were an inconvenience even though it was the hotel’s fault for having faulty air-conditioning. None of the four rooms were getting cold. We were then offered 2 pedestal fans as if we were staying in a back packers accommodation. The receptionist who “helped” us was very rude. We had organised a late check out for 12pm. On the day of checking out, house keeping and the same receptionist with the attitude, kept coming to disturb us in the room alerting us that it was past check out. This kept happening right until 11:40am. Wifi does not work so my husband had to hot spot from his phone to the tv to access Netflix and Fox channels. Only good thing was room service. Our balcony was inaccessible due to rubble and water constantly coming from the construction work on the higher floors. Did notice a chuck of concrete from the balcony edge missing which did not look safe at all. Overall experience has definitely left a bad impression. Upon check out, manager email was requested and formal complaint is being sent. Do appreciate their small token of an apology by discounting room service bill by 20% for the such rudeness and incompetence of housekeeping and that particular receptionist. Customer service is an absolute must for us and this hotel failed miserably. Definitely take your money elsewhere.

Booked in on Friday 5/5/23 for a nights stay .. given card to open door, after several attempts & door not opening husband went to reception and was given another keycard.. opened door and walked in and within a few minutes realised room already occupied by someone rose.. they weren’t in room.. thankgod! Husband went to reception while I waited with bags.. given another room on Different floor away from the friends we’re were holidaying with.. after shower I was feeling quite anxious about being in someone else’s room so decided to go to reception to lodge a complaint .. was basically ignored and receptionist actually shrugged her shoulders. I told her I would be complaining to management and again she looked through me and just sort of shrugged again.. at no point did she apologise .. a sorry might have gone a long way?? I left there feeling I’d done something wrong.. I wouldn’t stay there ever again
