Stay within Brisbane's bustling city centre.
This hotel puts you within reach of the many attractions that the Queensland capital has to offer. Whether you like eating out at fancy restaurants, shopping in designer label boutiques, or watching sports in world class stadiums, Brisbane has it all!
positive:
Lively bar downstairs offers great entertainment.
If you fancy letting your hair down once the sun goes down then just head downstairs to the pub and restaurant. It's open to the public, and you'll meet many friendly locals if you pull up a bar stool and enjoy a drink or two!

Negative Reviews
negative:
The standard of cleanliness here needs improving.
Housekeeping seem to be shirking their duties at this hotel, with rooms not being cleaned thoroughly enough once guests have checked out. If you encounter a room that is still dirty when you check in report it immediately to reception.
negative:
No free Wi-Fi in the rooms, just public areas.
For some reason this hotel doesn't provide free Wi-Fi in the rooms, just the public areas of the hotel downstairs. They really need to install some signal boosters so that you can access the internet from inside your room.
negative:
Rooms appear worn out and rough around the edges.
The rooms here are far from luxury, and despite some renovation over the years they still have a tired and worn out look. Regular maintenance would go a long way in keeping the rooms looking fresh.
