It seems since I last visited Rydges, things are on the improve. The rooms have been renovated, despite work still taking place on the lifts and foyer area (and the outside looks exactly the same). When we were there, there was only one lift operational, which was a little slow but not too bad. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast... More

A quality motel room at at reasonable price. The motel offers easy parking and upper rooms have a great view over Palmer Street and south Townsville. Full breakfast in the morning is a rewarding meal, although the small serving dishes around the buffet mean the staff must be on the ball and keep the hot food coming. But, on the... More

The hotel was of a high and excellent standard. The room was great and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is in a great location walking distance to the mall. The staff were friendly both in the front office and in the restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast. Thank for making our stay great your up the with the best.

We met up with good friends for a weekend at Rydges 2 bedroom apartments in Townsville. The apartments are in the next street but walking distance to all of the restaurants in Palmer Street.

Loved my stay and restaurant. Staff Excellent. Check in quick and so as check out. 24*7 Reception was helpful. Would surely return and hotel is close to all restaurants and joints. Beds are the most comfortable that I have slept in. Good Job.

We arrived late and had to wait some time for someone to come to the desk, despite staff being in the restaurant and seeing us there. The rooms were reasonable for the price we paid, and as we'd read... More

I stayed here whilst on a business trip to Townsville. Fortunately it was only a short stay, one would not want to stay here any longer than necessary. If this is supposed to be an up-market hotel in Townsville it does not say much for the area. Townsville itself is not as attractive as Cairns yet is a larger more... More

Booked a two bedroom apartment for two night so the family could spread out. I was shocked that the apartments (in the street behind the hotel) had the Rydges brand. They have not had any TLC since they were built. The furniture was old and smelt, the lamp shades and air conditioner broken and mould grew in the bathrooms. We... More
