My elderly mum and I stayed 7 nights and had an amazing experience. The staff were so helpful and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. I really appreciated the Surprise Birthday note and chocolates. The buffet breakfast was amazing as well. The concierge were nothing short of brilliant. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Thank you

Location fantastic and staff were lovely. Room comfy and clean. One particular issue that we were not impressed with, was that upon arrival we found out that the pool was closed all afternoon for a private event. We were there for one night, and had planned to relax at the pool for a while before going out. We paid for a hotel with a pool, and the pool wasn't available! We should have been notified on booking, and / or price should have been reduced. This is very wrong that a pool which is advertised as a facility for all patrons, is closed for a private function. Not happy.

Went to High Tea at bacchus restaurant. If you are into high teas then this one is a must. The staff were lovely and attentive, always making sure we had a drink. The high tea food was fresh, flavourful and very tasty. I look forward to going back again and again!

The menu for breakfast was the same as everywhere else, but for some reason the taste of everything was exceptionally better. Very happy with food. Bed was comfy, room was clean, service was good. We were really happy with location

Booked the room with 2 Queen beds for 4 nights. I liked that the room was really spacious, feels new and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel even set up 2 extra beds for us in the room which was wonderful. The room feels quite new and modern. The location of the hotel was good too with many restaurants and pubs around the area and being in walking distance to museums, art gallery, performing arts theatre and the pontoon to take cruises. However, housekeeping could be improved. We noticed there were stains on our sheets and on some days the trash bags were not taken out by housekeeping. There was no view from our room as we were given a 2nd floor room which faces another building. Could hear some noises at night from the ground floor but it was tolerable. If you are looking for a comfortable place to rest after exploring Brisbane this hotel is good for its comfort and accessibility. Do note that they charge $55AUD for valet parking for every night and valet parking is compulsory here.
