We were impressed from minute one. Our flight arrived just after 6:00 AM. We arrived at the hotel arround 8:00 AM. We requested early check-in. The desk clerk did what he could. We got into our room shortly before noon--which was excellent--we were able to have a nap, much needed from over 20 hours of travelling. We need a mobility accessible room. We are used to US hotels where they do the absolute minimum to accomodate folks that are unable to walk. This hotel was the most thoughtful accessible room we have ever slept in. Loved it. The breaksfast and breakfast area was amazing. Lots of choices! The housekeeping staff came every day and kept our room immaculate. The hotel is so close to the train station, which itself is marvelous. The train system is perfect. We were also able to walk to a shopping mall, lots of small stores, and restaurants as well as a casino. (My husband walked. I rode in my mobility scooter.

The lobby was big and comfortable and the vibe of the hotel was nice. I appreciated the access to laundry, though I didn't use it, and the gym which my partner did use. It had some weights and a few exercise machines. The hotel is in a great location just 5 minutes walk from Central Station and just slightly uphill at the end (we learned Brisbane has a lot of hills!). We could easily walk to the city, Fortitude Valley, Howard Smith Wharf, to the nearest ferry dock and to Roma St Parklands. The breakfast buffet was great with all the basics and a bit more: scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, cereal, tea and coffee, fruit etc. Check in was easy and the room was comfortable. The bed was pretty good, the AC worked well and the blinds blocked out all the light. I appreciated that the doona wasn't stupidly thick like many hotels, but nice and cosy. I would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, clean room with the basics of what you need for a night's stay. Booked last minute and was a reasonable price still, including a self-service continental breakfast. Easy checkin & checkout. Updated bathrooms, with interesting door/design, but offering less privacy than standard designs would. Did appreciate the nod to Brisbane City with the river and city plan reference.

Perfect location near bus stop. Soundproofing was excellent, very quiet at night. Buffet breakfast was excellent but cappacino maker was disappointing. Restaurant menu was adequate and after a long day out it was convenient to eat at the hotel or in your room. Laundry facilities were very good. The staff were excellent and happily changed our room from a double bed to a twin share.

RECEPTION STAFF, BREAKFAST AND ROOM The reception staff were very helpful. At breakfast, the croissants and apple cake were both delicious. The service was excellent particularly Mary, the catering assistant. She was helpful, and conscientious with detail cleaning. Mary has a beautiful smile. The room on the 11th floor was lovely with a superb view over Brisbane city. T
