Beautifully clean room, comfortable bed & awesome shower. Staff very friendly, quick with check in & out.
The right place to stay as 500 metres to the Tivoli!
Had a great 1 night stay here while in brisbane to go to a gig, room was clean, bed was comfortable, very close to eating options if you arent looking at going far.
1 downside was couldnt get netflix working on our TV so had to put up with horrible free to air but first world problems. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again.
Great location, cross the road to the Royal International Convention Center, and right on King Street where restaurants and cafes are. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. Very comfortable room and great facilities: gym, swimming pool.
Lovely hotel, close to restaurants and shops. Very good in house bar and restaurant should one feel like enjoying the hotel. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and include a well stocked mini bar. Would highly recommend this hotel which is also fortunate to have professional, helpful and very friendly staff.
Staff was excellent, very understanding. The room was clean and tidy and very homely

Disliked: Staff & service
When I called and asked twice to have 3 beds made up in the family room, there were only 2 made up.
I was assured on both occasions that tis would be done.
This was a suprise for my sons 40th.
Very disappointing.
