Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a great location by the Brisbane river, offering easy access to the city center and South Bank. The rooms were spacious and had all the necessary amenities, though they could have been cleaner. The service was excellent, with staff being very friendly and helpful. The dining options were basic but satisfactory. The hotel facilities were in good condition, making for a comfortable stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The rooms were above average, providing all the essentials for a comfortable short stay. They were not only clean but also incredibly comfy, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen/living area. The staff was friendly and the service efficient. The location was brilliant with convenient access to public transport and nearby amenities. However, there was some noise from Storey Bridge traffic. The dining experience was delightful with homemade organic products and complimentary continental breakfast. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is conveniently located in Kangaroo Point, ideal for attending events at the GABBA while enjoying a quieter stay away from the city. The rooms, though in need of upgrades, offer basic comfort with well-equipped kitchenettes. The service is excellent, with attentive staff resolving any issues promptly. The location's proximity to the main arterial roads makes traveling easy, and the spacious units provide a relaxing stay with great facilities. However, the dining options, while tasty, are a bit on the pricey side.
