Have stayed here several times a year over the past 4 years, mostly for business trips but also for a couple of long weekend short breaks. Five minute walk to ferry terminal ( Eagle Street Pier), 15 minutes from the main rail station (handy if you take the Skytrain from the airport) or about a $10 taxi ride if your... More

I was pretty ashamed of the accommodation offered by Oaks, having grown up in Brisbane. We were travelling with our children for a family wedding and had requested at the time of booking (a good four weeks in advance) an early checkin (11am or 12pm) so that we could get ready for the event. Well, having phoned ahead,new arrived at... More

Carpet was not clean on entry. Poorly equiped kitchen. Ridiculous key security system which does not cater for large groups wanting to move between floors. DVD cables weren't plugged in properly. You can tell this hotel is run on the cheap. One reception staff was lovely but the others appeared annoyed with requests. One in particular seemed to want to... More

Again, another Oaks property and when I should be telling you how good this was, I get left with a sour taste of the Oaks police.

Staff were helpful, place is clean, rooms are well designed. All in all, a pretty nifty place. Right in the cbd, near restaurants and the botanical gardens. Great if you are doing any work at the local university. That said, the construction sound is horrible.They started at 622 am.And they continue until 630 pm or so. It appears the construction...

Adjacent construction starts at 6.00am, will be going on for months. We spoke with the hotel who told us they couldn't do anything about it. I suggested that they advise customers prior to booking on the website and didnt receive the courtesy of a response. Great customer experience and great customer service.

Business trip. Apartment was clean and spacious. Good facilities and well located. Much better value than a conventional hotel! The complex also has a good pool and gym. Only downside was the lifts were a little small and probably not enough of them as sometimes the wait was a little longer than expected.

Not recommended for business travellers. Was quite disappointed at the total unwillingness to assist. Staff simply refused to accommodate requests to move bookings but were more than happy to pocket the money. This attitude to customer service is really frustrating and usually extends to other things as well. Given the noise problems as well it's best to stay away.
