The Brisbane hotel is well located and not too far a walk from the CBD. Arriving by car was inconvenient as had to park out the front, visit reception ….wait … then issued with a parking pass and then moved the car to a parking station around the corner. The room was SMALL and basic and a little less than... More

We found hotels relatively expensive if you want to stay in the Brisbane CBD area. This was one of the best priced (of the good quality hotels) and was excellent quality. Free wifi, a great little coffee shop on the ground floor (if locals are using it, you know it's good). The room was a little small (we did get... More

I stay in Brisbane a lot for business and I've probably stayed in half of the hotels there. This is my favourite. The rooms are a little small but the beds are very comfy. The staff are always great. Highly recommended.

It is obvious the staff have worked hard to make this hotel fly and paid attention to the things that make a difference to the tired or busy traveller. The beds, the pillows, the cups and tea and coffee are superior to other places we have stayed. The staff are genuinely interested in your well being and nothing seems too... More

The things that made this hotel different were the attention given by the staff-- Parking is very close and well organised. The rooms are small But the beds are SO good-- my son who is tall could sleep sideways! CBD around the corner but the hotel is quiet.

I have stayed here on 2 occasions and both times staff have been excellent and the room quiet and sleep conducive. The rooms are a bit smaller than your standard hotel room and the hotel services are lacking things like 24hr room service and early breakfast. The close close proximity to cafe's and restaurants does make up for this to... More
