Top Museum of Tropical Queensland Hotel Reviews

Oaks Townsville Gateway Suites

8/10 Good

"Good sized apartment. We had WiFi issues that were capable of being resolved but weren't. River facing apartments suffer from persistent traffic noise which were annoying when using the deck"

Oaks Townsville Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good spot, close to pubs and restaurants"

Mariners North Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"We loved the he apartment and the view from the balcony was amazing I would not book during school holidays again as the noise from the kids playing in the pool was excessive. They were in the pool from 730 am till it closed at 8 pm At times we had to close our doors to get some quiet time Not very relaxing It would be good to have a convenience store close by."

Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good

"The room was very comfortable and the view was excellent. Internet was not good."

Belmoral Corporate Suites

8/10 Good

"I stayed in a studio deluxe for 3 nights with breakfast included. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette had everything I needed. The pool and pool area was beautiful and definitely a highlight. The room was on the small side but ok for me being solo for a work trip. The lighting and ambience in the room could have been better thought through. The only lights were overhead spot lights and no bedside lamps. For reading at night, and winding down before sleep, I turned off all the lights and placed my phone on the bedside with the torch on for a reading light."

Rydges Southbank Townsville

10/10 Excellent

"I always stay at Rydges when in Townsville, even though their prices are a bit high compared to other hotels."
