Conveniently located near the restaurant district in Southbank, the exhibition Centre and Museum. Rooms are functional and clean Go for a higher floor room as the train noise can be a... More

Dear ‘schramko,’ Thanks for the review. It is great to read of your return custom; we definitely appreciate your loyalty. I definitely concur with your room tip; the higher city view rooms apart from a reduction in any precinct noise offer an amazing aspect of the city and river. Thanks again, we’ll see you on your next trip to Brisbane.... More

The Hotel is in general clean, modern furniture, normal sized rooms etc. The employees at the counter and concierge desk are very very friendly and helpful. To understand my mark with only three points my list of disappointments: Car Parking 30 AUD per night Breakfast 25 AUD per night (several times the buffet wasnt refilled, eg cheese) Internet in room...

I picked this hotel for the location on South Bank. It's right across the street from dining and the parklands along the Brisbane River. This is my favourite spot in the city so staying there was quite a treat. The room I asked for was a river view, wonderful view to the city over the river. I also had a... More
