I was lucky enough to have a river view room, and the views were spectacular. The hotel is a short distance from the main part of South Bank, but it is a pleasant walk. I had a problem with the air conditioning and called the reception staff, who came up immediately and sorted it out in minutes. Prompt and friendly... More

I chose the Hillcrest as it was close to the Mater children's hospital, so it was in a perfect location for us. I had adjoining apartments, one apartment had 1 bedroom with a large living area and kitchen and the other was a one bedroom without a living area. After reading the reviews I asked for a referbished room. Carpets... More

I stayed here 3 nights. The rooms were ok, but the 'kitchen area' was not what I expected. A kettle, with cups and a fridge etc. No sink. Anyway the hotel I thought would be good place to stay as near to where we needed to get our transfers to trips. No it isn't as it's right out the way.... More

Have stayed here many times in the last ten years primarily because of its great location. However on my most recent visit I arrived to find that they had made an error with our booking and instead of a twin room they had given my teenage son and myself a double room. When I pointed this out to the receptionist... More

The adjoining appartment dividing door was left open (literally) between apartments. Luckily the neighbour was not in at the time, we had to phone reception to rectify the probelm. Mould in the shower, glass shelf in the shower was just about to fall off the wall. The mattress is too old, sagging and unsupportive. No hard wired internet option. No... More

Stayed here on recommendation of a work colleague as being within walking distance of the Gabba Cricket Ground which it is. Access by road from the south was also easy and convenient. Carpark requires security to enter, a welcome feature. Booked a "deluxe room" at extra cost expecting one of the advertised refurbished rooms. We were able to check in... More

I booked Hillcrest on Wotif a 1 bedroom apartment with a riverview. It was to celebrate my husband's 29th wedding anniversary and also we had some business affairs to attend too. On arrival the receptionist was polite but not very friendly - she was efficient in checking us in and when I went up to the apartment there were no... More

We stayed 3 nights in a 1 bedroom apartment and were not disappointed. The size of the living area would rival that of most modern homes, with a very servicable kitchen and dining area. Our room overlooked the nearby apartments and hospital, but was still quite pleasant. The provision of a free laundry service (self-service) was fantastic. We didn't eat... More

I stayed at this hotel in December 2010. Nice and handy to Southbank area. Clean and bright room. The only problem with this hotel is finding the building which took me around and around the circle before I finally found the right way to drive my car toward the building. Highly recommended if you want to stay at simple hotel... More
