Great value hotel for this location. Walk straight to Southbank. Depending on which room u get , depends on whether u get a balcony to use or not. All was clean n tidy , no issues. Under ground parking is FREE with your booking, makes it even more good value hotel. If u really crave a tv , they are new Android type.. very ave. We Stayed 2 nights , 👍

You really cannot a place for this price that has all Southbank, Streets Beach, GOMA, South Brisbane train station, Cultural Centre bus station, Woolies & 7/11 within a few minutes walk! Solid dinner at an unbeatable price. A little older but very clean & spacious & have the friendliest service, coldest aircon, self serve EFTPOS washer & dryer & your balcony. Would stay here again if in the area!

The hotel is clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The room was a little dated but clean with all the facilities needed to cater for yourself. There was a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was buffet style with lots of choice. We ate in the restaurant one evening the food was delicious. There was an outdoor pool with complimentary towels. The location is perfect. Lots of nice cafes, bars and restaurants a minute away. Southbank Parklands is a 7 minute walk away. The Museum of Queensland and all the theatres were within a 7 minute walk of the hotel. My only gripe was when I booked it. It said breakfast was included. It turned out it wasn't. I did challenge this with the lovely reception staff but as I had no proof we had to pay. Note to self: take a picture next time it says breakfast included.

Staff and location are the only good thing. Staff was generally nice. Although I made a couple of requests that couldn't be met, the staff we dealt with tried to be accommodating. The location is also generally good, although it does require a bit of walking to get to ferry stop, South Bank or CBD. But if you don't have issues with at least 15 mins walk, this location is ok. If you are on the lower floors and facing the city, however, the rooms can be affected by street noise as a main street is just outside the hotel. But really this hotel is just good for sleeping. Hotel is very outdated, with cheap finishing and not very clean. The shower doors were broken, the seals are just dirty and everything is of the cheapest quality you can get. While the main bed is comfortable, the sofa bed is terrible. Also, with 2 little kids, the pillows are way to high and when we requested smaller/flatter ones, we were told there's only one kind of pillows. The chrome cast sounded like a good option, but couldn't manage to work it, it was an endless buffering due to wifi issues. Although we had 4 people booked in the apartment, there are only amenities for 3 (like chairs, cups, plates, etc). Towels and other amenities (like dish liquid, soap etc) were not replenished daily although finished and we had to ask for them. The blanket is just sandwiched between 2 sheet and in general the sheet and blanket were not clean.

The photos are shrewdly taken and deliberately designed to mislead prospective customers online. We did our reservation on booking.com and will not use again. The place is a dirty dump and the place is dated, way beyond what the pics show. You get one cheap little disc of soap for two people and the fittings like soap trays in the shower are missing. We travel a lot, and would not recommend this place to anyone in good conscience.

The room was fine enough, decor was basic and boring But there was black long hair in the bathroom Me and my friend do not have any black hair at all so we were grossed out. It was just dirty in general. My sheets had weird stains on them and i kmow that wasn’t from me as we found them as we had just got into the room. We got woken up 2 times in one night because someone was smoking in the rooms which I understand is not the workers fault, and they were annoyed as well so I understand their pain. The staff were nice enough, but there was one that was rude to my friend. I wasn’t there for it so I’m not sure but he was snappy at her. The location was good, queen street is about a 15 min walk and there’s restaurants and cafes nearby so that was the only really good thing about this hotel. Thanks

We chose this hotel because it’s close to a place with past memories, so it felt meaningful to stay here again. Although the location is generally convenient, we arrived on a day when the Airtrain wasn’t running directly to the nearby station. We ended up walking almost 30 minutes to reach the hotel — tiring but also enjoyable as we stopped along the way to take photos and appreciate the nearby views.The room provided very minimal toiletries, but the bedsheets and towels were clean and bright white, which we appreciated. However, the carpets along the walkways and in the room looked like they were due for a deeper clean — made a little more noticeable since I had forgotten to bring along my bedroom slippers.One thing I really appreciated was that the lift opens directly to the 2nd floor, which made access much easier for me after my recent TKR. I also want to compliment the front desk team for their prompt service — they immediately provided a new kettle when I mentioned that the one in the room was stained. Overall, it was a meaningful stay with some pleasant moments, and a few areas that could be improved.

3 stars is for room purely because the hotel is tired. But for the price, it's excellent. It has everything you need. Even a balcony. The room was clean. Staff excellent. We will stay here again. The only thing missing was a teaspoon or stick to stir our tea. But we improvised by swirling the sugar with some boiling water first. Problem solved. Parking included In price. Fantastic. Cafes are nearby and walking distance to Little Stanley Street restaurant district and QPAC theatres and art gallery.

I found this hotel on lastminute.com as we decided to stay in the city for the night. Firstly for what we paid for the night it was great. Being only 10 mins from QPAC was the clincher. We were able to walk there and back saving us money and time on a taxi. We were welcomed by a very friendly bloke at the front counter for check it, this was sorted quickly and it was explained how we access the car park and the best place to park in there for our room. The room that we had was a simple 1x queen bed and 1x single bed. There was a tv, table, chair and the beds. The lighting in the room was looked after by a stand alone floor lamp. While this did the job, it did make the room a bit dark and dull. The bathroom was simple. Shower over bath, toilet, basin with full wall length mirror. There wasn't much room in the bathroom for 2 people to get ready. The shower over bath was a bit small as well (however there was great hot water and good water pressure). The curtains were block out. The room did smell a bit musty and closed up (maybe while they are cleaning the room they could open the balcony door and let some fresh air in) however once the air conditioning was turned on it disappeared quickly. Would I stay there again? Yes. For what we needed it for it was money well spent with a comfortable bed.
