Staff was top notch facilities meh not so much

The staff was incredibly helpful, courteous and pleasant however the facility itself wasnt great . I would categorize it as a motel not hotel . The tv didn’t work , I had issues with access to the laundry room ( got locked out ) I was only there 5 days so I didn’t want to complain to much but if another trip to Brisbane is in the future I d be looking elsewhere for my stay

Room was adequate but needed work - curtains sagging and let in light, mattresses lumpy and needed replacement. The location of the hotel was excellent if you want to be close to the cultural precinct in Southbank and close to good restaurants.

Tired hotel with a great location

This hotel is tired and in desperate need of major renovations and upgrade to bring it into the modern era. The staff are always friendly, and we’ve been coming back for year simply due to its proximity to QPAC. However this was probably our last stay as the rooms are getting grottier and grottier. Mine smelt so badly of bleach that I had to leave the balcony open until I was ready for sleep as it gave me such a headache from the smell. The second room booked for my mum and aunt was in dire need of a complete redo in the bathroom and they were both applied at the state of the shower recess and bath. The bed was like sleeping on chicken wire and moved every time I turned over. The walls desperately need sound proofing, the windows need full black out blinds that actually block the sun and the decor hasn’t been updated since the 80’s Is my guess. Not much staff can do to combat a tired hotel that probably needs complete rebuilding.

Overall excellent with minor disappointment

Hotel location is great. Near to many amenities and cbd. Checkin was a breeze and the staff was helpful to allow us early check in. The only downside us the bath soap and shsmpoo. It comes in small tube and is not eco friendly. You usr about two body bath each day if you shower twice. I would suggest the hotel install dispenser or refillable bottles to cut diwn environmental waste.

Conveniently located. Free undercover parking. Room suited our needs, however some plumbing issue: each time toilet was flushed there was a lingering sewage smell in the entire bathroom. Helpful staff lend us an umbrella. Easy walk to museum / Goma /Southbank area.
