Room was clean, well presented, bed comfortable. The shower water was very hard to get to temperature and slow to come through. Breakfast was good however bacon was over cooked and dry. For price of breakfast coffee (even though not nice) should've been included. Plenty of nice coffee places nearby.

This property is quite old and badly in need of refurbishment. The breakfast was excellent but the rooms and building itself are very dated. We stayed in Ryges at Gold Coat Airport last year which was excellent.

The room was a good size, modern and clean, with the bed being really comfy. Air-conditioning worked perfectly, and the front desk staff were super friendly and happy to help me get to and from my events. There’s a taxi rank right out the front, and the secure off-street parking was a big plus.

Buffet breakfast runs from 6–9 a.m., and there’s also room service if you feel like staying in.

We were very disappointed with this property. The room was not serviced properly. The shower had all the paint of the floor lifting showing dirty grout. The carpets need a clean. Had to ask for the amenities to be restocked when taking a dirty towel back to reception. The pool area looks as if it has been abandoned - weeds growing up in the paving cracks and the pool looked very dirty. The photos on the website paint a very different picture to the reality!! It really needs a good over hall.
On the positive, the lady who was on reception in the evenings was very helpful.
We certainly expected a lot more from a Rydges, which is (was) one of my preferred hotels to stay.

Needs a revamp

The biggest pro for staying at the Rydges is the comfortable full king size mattresses and the vicinity to the stadium and the main reason I rebook. Always a good night sleep.

However, the cons are really starting to blur the choice.
Firstly, the bathrooms are tiny, very out dated, hot water and shower pressure were almost zero. Had no cold water on at all to only have a warm shower. And you have to fight with a shower curtain trying to now to flood the floor when you turn around.
The room we stayed in had a massive window with only a pull down roller blind which was a bright awakening way too early. There are curtain tracks but none hanging.
Don’t even waste your money or time on the breakfast buffet. It is bland, luke warm and not appealing at all.
If the bathrooms were renovated it would be a massive improvement.
Our room was on the 2nd floor and a Deluxe King “apparently”. Street noise both people walking past talking and traffic was like I had a window open. Higher floors are much better for sound so if you book try and request.
Reception staff range from amazingly helpful to obviously would rather be elsewhere.
Plenty of places stay in area so will be booking elsewhere from now on.

Pros: Excellent walking position to the stadium, shopping, restaurants and bars.
Extremely comfortable full king size bed
Free fresh baked cookies daily
Onsite undercover car parking included in rate
Clean
Cons: bathrooms are very tiny and badly need renovating
Buffet breakfast is total disappointment, tasteless, unappealing and cold. Included in our room rate and we went elsewhere the second day

Did not get the room that I pre-paid and booked online. I was put into a standard room instead of the Executive Suite that I had on my reservation. The hotel could not move me the first night so I needed to check out of the standard room by 10 the next morning and put my bags in the car and check back in later the next day at 4 for the correct room. They compensated me with breakfast the next morning.

We stayed for a week as part of TeamUSA and then went to Cairns for a week and then came back for a night. While we were in Cairns, they held onto our larger luggage in storage and when we got back, we asked if they had a scale to weigh our re-packed luggage. The front desk person got her scale from her home on her break and brought it back for us to use! Amazing customer service!

Rave about Rydges a Threefold Tick

Rydges on Palmer is one of my favourite hotels in Townsville. I choose hotels based on a few elements and if I love everything then I will return time and time again. The front facade of the property includes a beautiful foundation. My room was spacious and generous. I think Rydges has the best bath in a Tsv hotel and is so relaxing, tick. They also have their own restaurant for breakfast, a hot buffet, tick Rydges has a lovely pool with spa that I enjoyed on this trip too. if you don't have a car and go for appointments in Tsv like me I catch the shuttle from the airport and there are several food venues in Palmer Street to choose from too all in easy walking distance. The digs are very clean and well made up and staff is polite and friendly, tick.
