This was my second stay for business at the Oaks M on Palmer, this time just for one night. The Oaks M is at the very end of Palmer Street and tucked around a corner in what was once reputed to be a seedy area of Townsville. For a first time customer, you will likely have difficulty locating it without... More

Plus: Room comfortable enough to stay in for several days. Good supply of kitchen implements. Bed comfortable. Quiet. Within walking distance to Magnetic Island ferry & town centre. Card-key security for lift and after-hours entrance. Minus: Check-in promised for 14:00 and while actually available at 13:20 that's still too late. (Asian hotels can do morning check-ins - why not Townsville?)... More

I stayed here for a few days while in Townsville on business. I was pleasantly surprised as some of the reviews were negative. It's a bit out of the way - down the end of Palmer but it is nice & quiet and the walk up to the cafe every morning is good for you. Plenty of restaurants up the... More

A little out of the way if you are new to Townsville . If you have a car and are selfcatering the provision of cooking facilities and washer/dryer would be good if you want to risk the fire department visiitng as others have noted. I found the furnishings and carpet to be cheap . My room had a nice view... More

We were lucky enough to get a very good week end deal and for the price we paid we probably expected a lot less than we got. We were very surprised when we arrived at how good the hotel is for the price we were charged. Yes the hotel is way at the end of Palmer Street, and it is... More

It took me a while to find the place as there are no signs and it’s off the road and behind a hotel, it is also a long way from town and the strand if you are walking, there are however a few restaurants and pubs about 10 - 15 min walk away apart from the one out the front.... More

Front office staff were almost robotic and seem to spend more time out back of reception than actually on the desk. The room itself had double doorway like a dual key apartment which were extremely loud when closing even when trying to be quiet, I was always expecting the neighbours to come out abusing.

Stayed for four days on business. Stayed on government rates so I didn't expect a good room, and i wasn't disappointed. Couldn't be bothered complaining as it was only for a few nights. Otherwise the room was clean and serviced daily. Nice and close to the city proper, with plenty of restaurants for breakfast and dinner (hello Cactus Jacks). I'd... More
