Hotel is in a great spot for South bank and main area of Brisbane. The transport over the river was regular and extremely cheap, tap on tap off! Staff, room and pool area all lovely. Lots of eateries yards away on Stanley street. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The size of the pool was ridiculously small considering the area is open to the public through events and the DJ that plays excessively loud music on the weekend. For the cost of the room $300 the view of the train line wasn’t worth spending any time in the balcony. Car parking is $55 which seems pricey. Front desk staff couldn’t answer basic questions regarding the pool area, dining options etc. Proximity to South Bank is the only positive about this place. Definitely won’t be returning or recommending this property
