South bank, Theatres and Brisbane CBD are all within walking distance. This is a fantastic Hotel to base yourself for convenience. Heaps of restaurants close by also. Valet parking attendants very pleasant and extremely... More

This was my fourth choice as the first 3 on my list didn't have rooms. The foyer and corridors were uninspiring - bland and just the usual fare. But elsewhere there is much to like about this hotel, in particular, the staff. There really is a very nice level of service being delivered here. A few dot points about the... More

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
