    “very comfortably staying”

    Good location, very close to the city, south bank, and west end, and as you can see, it has a very quiet and peaceful view. The room is big enough for me. If you stay with a friend, partner, or family, there is a good size and design too. I didn't use the facilities much because I only stayed one night. But I would like to stay again if I come to Brisbane. ♡

    “One night city getaway”

    Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean and sufficient for our quick stay. Close to Southbank attractions and a quick walk to the CBD. Buffet breakfast was one of the better ones I've had at a hotel...lots of choices for the teens too! They are currently doing renos, but would be nice to return once they are finished. Was too cold to use the lap pool but it looked nice. We were only on the first floor so our view was of the fence next to the gym - only downside. Parking onsite was $38.00 per night - the most I have ever paid at a hotel. Overall though, it was a fantastic stay! We will be back for sure.
