“Nice Stay, Good Location!”

Reviewed May 23, 2013 NEW

Purchased a great deal from Scoopon to stay here for 1 night with my husband! Reception area is very nicely decorated, staff friendly! We were on the first floor overlooking the pool area, room was clean, comfortable & everything you need for a weekend stay. Had a few drinks in the downstairs restaurant, food menu looked good but did not... More

“Mixed Review”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

There are good points and bad about Urban Brisbane. We were stayed for 4 nights as well as had an engagement party in the Panorama Room. Rooms: There were 3 of us in the room. At first I thought it would be a bit tight, but we were all comfortable. The beds are good, but the pillows are too plump.... More

“A shocker!”

Reviewed May 18, 2013

The review online looked absolutely fantastic and when we arrived the ambience reflected the same but let us tell you first that you do not expect to park easily. The fact that the car park is tight is an understatement. If you have anything bigger then a Mini forget it. You do not receive any direction from reception as to... More

Hi Mark E, Thanks for your feedback, we're really disappointed to hear that our hotel didn't live up to your expectations and that you weren't as thrilled with our Urban Snorer bed as many of our previous guests have been. We are also very sorry to hear that there was some confusion about our plush Tie Me Up Tightly Robes... More

“Great Brisbane Hotel”

Reviewed May 17, 2013

Stayed for two nights at the Hotel Urban in Brisbane. We had a king balcony room which was tastefully renovated. The rooms were large with everything you could want. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly. The outlook over the city and parklands was pleasant and within walking distance into the CBD.

Hi Susi61, Thanks for your fabulous review, we're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed an all round pleasant stay, topped off by a dose of our staff's shiny happy service, and a delicious meal from Gazebo Bar and Café. Thanks again, we hope to see you again some time. Kind regards, Lachlan Furnell General Manager More

I love this hotel. I love their staff. I love the quirky extras. The hotel is spotless, modern, fresh, unique and beautiful - you cannot find a better place to stay in the Brisbane district. Amazing panorama views. A cute and boutique style swimming pool and the atmosphere of a hotel, 5 times the price of this. The staff were... More

I have stayed here before and loved it, still do. Staff are amazingly friendly and attentive and the rooms spacious and spotless. It's a very easy walk to the CBD (10 mins at most) without having to stay in the CBD itself. I find the location perfect as it's on the doorstep of the CBD but not right in the... More

“An average hotel”

No problems with Reception desk both for check- in and check-out. The room was adequate with a comfortable king size bed. There was a balcony, but the Roma Street Parklands could not be seen - I suppose all rooms cannot have good views. Only one bath robe in the closet, though another was promptly delivered on request. Bathroom was clean... More

“The location is convenient to roma st parklands & the train station.”

Hotel urban is trying to convey a modern & designer style however it fails to hit the mark on a number of levels. *Uninformative front office staff *Inattentive bartenders *Poorly renovated bathroom *Terrible car park *Noisy.

Checked into the hotel via the "Austin Powers" inspired reception area & was greeted by very rude male clerk, efficient but rude.

Got a great "mystery deal" on wotif.au and really loved this hotel. Near the train station, a solid uphill walk from CBD/Queen St Mall but not bad at all if you enjoy walking. Also a nice walk to the river, South Bank, etc - overall just really enjoyed this location. Hotel is right beside the absolutely beautiful Roma Parkland, definitely... More
