Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

Guests have repeatedly praised the hotel's fantastic location, which is very convenient for exploring the area. The staff is also very personable and attentive, providing excellent service. The accommodations are tidy and contemporary, contributing to a pleasant stay. The breakfast is delicious and a great way to begin the day.

The parking is expensive, which may not be ideal for budget-conscious travelers. The breakfast menu remains the same throughout the stay, which may become tedious for extended stays.

    “Excellent”

    The room and bed were large and comfortable. The breakfast is sold as individual dishes, and the pool is somewhat small. It felt a bit tiring to walk to CBD with a child and come back. It's a reasonable distance for a walk. Streets beach is nearby.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the spacious room and comfortable bed, as well as our a la carte breakfast and proximity to Streets Beach. We appreciate your comments about the pool size and walking distance to the CBD, and will take them on board for future improvements. Warm regards, Kristina Front Office Manager

    “Anyway, the location is excellent.”

    There is a railway behind the hotel, but I didn't notice any noise at all even while sleeping early in the morning, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The only downside was that the bed was a bit too soft for us. The suite was very spacious, and although there was no cooking allowed, the presence of a microwave was very helpful. The hotel is close to a park, and there are many restaurants nearby, but the surrounding area is very calm and quiet. It is also within walking distance to the city. The hotel is located exactly between South Brisbane and South Bank stations, both of which have supermarkets, making it very convenient. I feel that this might be the only hotel I would choose again when I visit Brisbane.

    “If you go to Southbank.”

    Although it is a distance from the main city (about a 20-minute walk), I think it is the best accommodation if you want to visit and use nearby facilities such as the South Bank pool and museum. Among the three accommodations I used, the room cleaning and room service ordered from the restaurant on the first floor were excellent (very friendly! Top notch!). However, the soundproofing was not great, as I could hear the movement in rooms above and below as well as noise from the neighboring room, and the size of the room itself was the smallest.
