We were flying into Brisbane very late at night and the owners were so helpful in arranging the key and an easy to find room for us when we arrived as reception would be closed. This hotel is extraordinarily good value. We have stayed in hotels which cost considerably more than Kingsford Riverside with fewer facilities. The hotel has a... More

I am not sure I would use this hotel where I a couple but given that I was on a short business trip it served my purpose very well. At first sight the hotel appeared a bit spartan but it was clean and well enough equipped with facilities I needed. On top of this the owners were verysociable and always... More

Thank you for your review Mike, accurate and helpful. Yes the outside is still a bit old fashioned, but we're working on it. We've been busy... We started by fitting new ranch sliders to all of the balconies, and new windows throughout the building. Along with looking more modern these dramatically reduce street noise and have significantly uplifted the appearance... More

Staff were friendly and accommodating to our requests. We travelled from South Africa to Brisbane with two young children and we were in need of some comfort and friendly faces. Our needs were met and we were all happy. We never saw another person whenever we needed to use the facilities and all facilities were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed... More

Hello Tammy, much appreciated your review. We have completed our refit of all windows and balconies with precision fitted new laminated versions so you'll get that extra bit of sleep quality next time! We enjoyed meeting you and your family and hope we see you again when you pass through Brisbane! Regards, Charles. More

It was never made clear when I booked a room at this hotel that the showers and toilets are public and worse than a high-school locker room. The men's shower room/toilet door to the hall didn't even close. No elevator. Traffic noise all night long. Filthy kitchen. Showers that give barely a trickle. The back looks onto a seedy race...

Yes, we do have shared facilities, but as this guest booked from our website which does say so, the complaint is a bit “dog ate my homework” on the shared facilities front . A few seconds perusing the website or reading up onTrip Advisor before the event might have spared us his ungracious presence and this sad and uninformed rant.... More
