Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were a great size, allowing for a comfortable spread out space and tranquil sleep. However, the modernist rooms fell short of expectations and were a bit shabby and run down. The service was fantastic with helpful and friendly staff; the location was superb, right in the midst of all the attractions. The dining experience was pleasant, although limited in options.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were almost soundproof but could use small updates like smart TVs and more charging points. Unfortunately, my room was unclean with a stained carpet, and I woke up with bug bites. The toilet was also bothersome, taking a long time to refill between flushes and being very loud. On the bright side, the rooms were immaculate with a full kitchen and laundry facilities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are massive, making it feel more like home than a typical motel room. The self-catering facilities, including a laundry, were a huge plus with a full kitchen, sofa, table, chairs, place settings, washer dryer, and a comfortable bed with all cooking facilities available. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and the perfect location for exploring Brisbane was a huge bonus. The charm of the property and great value added to the experience, along with the very generous-sized rooms. However, it was a little tricky getting into the car park at times.
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Brisbane CBD, offering quiet and spacious comfort. The rooms are huge, comfortable, and clean, showcasing beautiful old-world charm with high ceilings and period furniture. However, there were issues with the lack of proper sound insulation. The service was a mix of friendliness and lack of experience, with some hiccups in communication. The location is superb for exploring the city with great dining options nearby, though it might lack coziness for solo travelers.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious, clean, and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was gorgeous, and there were plenty of furnishings in the main room, including a desk, table, and chairs. Despite being in the middle of the city, the room was huge. The staff were really helpful and even offered us early check-in. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the CBD and within easy walking distance to attractions like the Riverside Walk and South Bank. The dining experience was awesome, especially at the Mondial downstairs. Overall, a great stay with just a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in a busy intersection but surprisingly quiet and clean. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The staff is helpful and friendly, although there was an issue with a late check-out charge. The location is excellent for walking to nearby attractions, but accessing parking was challenging due to roadworks. The dining options nearby are good, with some limitations. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor inconveniences.
I was impressed with the spacious and clean rooms and the very friendly staff at this centrally located hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms was exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were spacious and elegant, with everything needed to cook my own meals, although the bathroom felt a little dated. The service was top-notch, despite a small hiccup with outdated room instructions. The location was perfect, right in the center of everything, making it convenient to access shopping, dining, and sightseeing spots. The dining options nearby were fantastic, offering a variety of choices within walking distance.
The hotel rooms were much bigger and more luxurious than expected, making for a very spacious and charming stay, especially ideal for longer visits once the construction nearby is completed. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff willing to go above and beyond to assist guests. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Brisbane CBD, walking distance to many attractions. The dining options were also delightful, perfect for special occasions.
The hotel was lovely, with a bit of a cool room due to the windows but overall huge and well thought out. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making the stay big and roomy. The location was fantastic, near bars and restaurants, offering a comfortable stay at a bargain rate. The dining at the Mondial was lovely, perfect for an anniversary weekend.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a very cozy living area but is affected by the ongoing subway construction. The service is friendly but lacks some experience. It boasts a great central location with beautiful food options at the nearby cafe, yet may face some noise disturbances. Dining experiences may be impacted by the busy surroundings.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable, making it ideal for extended stays once the construction across the road is completed. However, I was disappointed that the room I got was shabby and not up to my expectations, especially considering the deluxe rooms are considerably better.
