Townsville Hostels

We initially stayed for one night, but found it to be soo nice that we extended our stay for a few more days. We found especially the staff to be very nice and helpful but enjoyed the entire place. On our 6 week vacation this place has the best price value ratio soo far. We 10/10 recommend.

Initially sent to the wrong room but the desk staff sorted it. The views are great of either the ocean or marina. We had an ocean view , also overlooked the pool. The place is actually quiet considering its also a ****** and popular restaurants. The staff very friendly and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and can recommend this hotel for a couple or family stay. It's close to the strand and easy walking to lots of cafes , restaurants and the beach side walk.

Rooms are dark dated and extremely run down Paint work looks dreadful peel off furniture ie dressing table Chairs in rooms are dirty with black over used areas The room was cleaned but the furnishings Lee the feel of cleanliness down Reception friendly Beds were comfortable As a family we were lucky it was just a one night stop over room’s depressing feel to rooms ..we didn’t pay much therefore get what we paid for I suppose Wouldn’t recommend needs a re-vamp

The staff at Rambutan are very friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome. The rooftop, poolside restaurant is fantastic with its excellent and varied selection of dishes and is so popular with the public that I found it necessary to book my favourite table on the balcony looking over the town. The wonderful staff members speak many languages. Flying up solo from the Victorian winter I was dismayed to find myself in a cramped room, looking onto a blank wall, so dark I needed the light on. I had probably ticked 'accessible' which meant all the rooms reached by the lift which all face the blank wall around the pool. I expressed my disappointment to reception and was immediately and gratefully moved to a room, up a flight of stairs but looking down onto the pool and restaurant, as pictured. The rooms are small, filled up with enormous beds so that there is no way to unpack a suitcase. I needed a comfy chair. Rambutan is well within walking distance of the passenger ferry, The Strand, Anzac Park, and the centre of the city, surrounded by restaurants, and just 2 blocks from all the shops.

From previous reviews I thought no way, well how wrong was I. Great location. Clean and large. Amazing staff. Great whistle stop for us. Our four legged mate was very welcomed. Ground floor unit. Even meet a gentleman who travels with his galah on business. Staff welcomed us both with open arms. Pool is fabulous. Price reflects older establishment but they are caring for this old girl. We would definitely stay again. Only downside was the mattresses probably need replacing but are still very comfortable, had a great sleep. Thank you Robert Town 👌👌👌

The hotel environment is very good and clean. The facilities are perfect and the health is good. The hotel is located in the city center, with high floors and good scenery. The hotel is a landmark in Townsiville and it is worth staying. The impression the hotel gave me was very good and worth looking forward to.

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.

Confusing to check in. Reception is in a different hotel. Would be annoying if you had no car and had to walk distances with luggage. Modern complex. With some eating options and a cinema complex. Short walk to city centre. Very small room. Just a bed, no room for a chair save the small desk chair under the desk. First impression when I opened the door was the overpowering smell of cigarettes. This is a non smoking facility but clearly not enforced. Tobacco stains on curtains and burns on carpets. No waste bin. Despite this, room very clean. Ensuite bathroom of a good size but no hot water! Freezing shower to start my day - at least it woke me up albeit violently. Doors from adjoining room slams loudly and is startling. Reception, in another hotel, closed at checkout so unable to provide feedback on smoke and cold water. Keenly priced - and you do get what you paid for. Better options nearby - and they even have hot water. Lovely cafe for light breakfast across the car park.
