We only stayed one night after an exhausting flight. The room is a bit tiny but has a very lovely bed. The only pitty is the missing WiFi in the hotel. The TV had a great choice of TV stations and rentable movies. Overall a tidy and recommendable hotel in the very center of Brisbane. more

Stayed overnight on a visit to Brisbane for a wedding. Flight arrived very early and we hadn't organised an early check-in. We got to the hotel thinking we could leave our bags there until check-in time but the person at the desk was able to give us our room at 10am. This was extremely helpful. The room itself was small... more

I'm from NZ and I stayed at the Portal for 4 nights from 8 to 12 October with my boyfriend and we really enjoyed the hotel. The front desk staff were always friendly and very approachable. The room was nice- it doesnt seem as big as some standard hotel rooms but that might be because the bed is much bigger... more

Nice hotel, nice staff, great location, small rooms, dimly lit bathrooms. Would not stay again. Preauth 'funds hold' on card on check in was not removed and resulted in our credit cards maxed out making the remainder of our trip stressful. Back home they blame the banks and it's still not sorted. Not recommended unless you are rocking a gold... more

Very nice, brand new. Room was small but nice TV, fridge in room. In fact so new the bedside lamps had not been installed but we were not there to read in bed. All staff very pleasant and helpful with directions and recommendations. Nice restaurant and bar. Would like to have more shelf space in the bathroom, and better lighting. more

We got to stay at one of the funkiest hotels ever! The staff were super friendly and even though the rooms are small, they have everything you need. We could check out what was happening in town on the tv, using the remote. It had an iPod docking station, next time I'll bring mine. The bar is the best of... more

Lovely clean rooms but very snug perhaps more suited to business stay than leisure. There were no information folders in rooms with menus or places to visit and no information pamphlets in reception which was a little frustrating, although reception staff were very pleasant they didn't seem to be tourist orientated and were vague about sites to see and transport... more

We booked this hotel online and found an amazing deal. We were making a flyby visit to Brisbane and staying for two nights. We managed to book this superb hotel for £48 (GBP) per night instead of the usual £200 (GBP)! It's a very new, boutique-style hotel, right in the middle of Brisbane. It allows easy acces to local suburbs,... more

This is a new hotel and it shows. Staff are very friendly but seem untrained and lack knowledge of the area. We were sent in the totally opposite direction when asking for a street location. Rooms are exceptionally small and air conditioning noise can be annoying. Bathroom lighting is very dim. Although the hotel had been open for 3 months... more
