Hotel The Palmer Collective (Townsville, Australia)

Want to stay in the centre of Townsville? Then stay here! You can't get a much better location than where this hotel is, surrounded by the city's best shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.

This hotel does not try and punch above its weight when it comes to pricing, so you get decent accommodation at a decent price. If you are looking for good value for money accommodation you've found it.

From the moment you arrive the people working here will make you feel like a valued guest. No request is too big or small, and any problems with your room will be fixed right away.

If you want to use Wi-Fi in your room you'll have to pay for it, because only the Wi-Fi in the lobby is available for free. Many cheaper hotels nearby offer free W-Fi as part of the room rate, just as this hotel should be doing.

This place has certainly seen better days, it is becoming dated and is not being regularly maintained. A thorough revamp would bring it back to its former glory.

Watch out, not all the rooms are the same here, with a few being worse than others. You could get lumbered with one of the small rooms crammed with furniture. These older rooms also suffer from a rather unpleasant smell, so request a change at reception if you can.
