The customer experience started before we arrived, with a nice text message in advance of our stay to see if they could assist with bookings for the spa or dining. Check-in was seamless with the bags whisked off to our room and actually appearing before we got there. That rarely happens in my experience. Cocktails by the pool were lovely, as was the poolside dining. The staff were attentive but not intrusive, and it was clear that there was an ample allocation of staff per guest. We had dinner at Hellenika, our waitress was fabulous and the kitchen were wonderfully accommodating of our party's allergies. The lamb was spectacular, and we went back for more. We had a pool view room which was spacious and thoughtfully appointed. All the little details at the Calile make all the difference and you can see that the hotel was designed by a team who actually knows what a guest needs and wants. The James Street district is a wonderful location with lots of little high end shops, boutiques and eateries. After checking out we still had access to the pool before our transfer to the airport. The have lovely shower facilities under the pool so we were able to freshen up before we departed. Highly rate this hotel and can't wait to return.

The Calile has a beautiful atmosphere and very polite staff, which makes for a lovely stay. That said, for a five-star hotel at this price point, breakfast isn’t included, room restocks are only on request, and housekeeping missed small details like vacuuming the bathroom. On our last day, pool access was restricted and prioritised for incoming guests, and the hotel wasn’t flexible with extending checkout despite a later flight. Overall, a nice experience but a few areas could be improved to truly meet five-star expectations.

Have wanted to stay at this hotel for years. We booked a couple of nights to celebrate our birthdays this week. Was blown away by how amazing this hotel is. Service is amazing ( mind you there does seem to be way too many staff on ) Our surprise beautiful champagne and cheese plate was totally unexpected and appreciated. We have dined at Hellenika a few times for both breakfast and dinner and it’s great to see it’s still as wonderful as ever. Service and food are fantastic. The pool was amazing. Comfortable deck chairs, friendly service and funky tunes playing. Was awesome. We love James Street, it’s one of the best streets in Australia by far. Perfect location for a hotel. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful. We will be definitely be back when we visit beautiful Brisbane.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Calile Hotel. The suite was gorgeous with a stylish and relaxing vibe, but what truly made my experience memorable was the outstanding customer service. Sarah at reception was exceptional — friendly, polite, and incredibly helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. It’s staff like Sarah who elevate a beautiful hotel into something truly special. Can’t wait to return!

My assessment is based on the cost vs. what you would expect from another hotel for this price. For $900 a night there was no free water in our room, a welcome pack with details of deals etc (we were told by some stores that guests were offered a 10% discount), bar closed at 9pm (!), few amenities in the room. So though it is a nice hotel, great location, it is not a 5 star hotel.
