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...

This is our 3rd two night stay in 12 months as we have a conference every 6 months at the next door Convention Centre. So in saying that Rydges South Bank is the best hotel to stay at as there are no roads to cross...just straight into the Convention Centre!!
We always get a King Suite which are on the...

Have stayed in the ridges in Southbank many times, I have always found it to be a good hotel in the price range. Always clean, and with friendly staff.
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...

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....

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 booked a Queen River Room 2 nights on 27th/28th January 2012 and really was not expecting much from this Hotel. Well what a wonderful suprise from the moment we stepped out into the pouring rain (concierge...

Across the river from the city with a great view of the city skyline, short walk from a railway station, plenty of restaurants along the street, gallery and museum down the road. I would consider this hotel as the best located in Brisbane. The staff are very professional, the price is reasonable, the rooms are quite good at the given...

Great to hear that you really enjoyed the stay and your time in the South Bank precinct. Love to hear that you believe the hotel is “the best located in Brisbane” and naturally I’d tend to agree with you.

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...
