Great stay. Family of 4 and made up the sofa bed too. Excellent breakfast and location in southbank. Great and convenient to Suncorp Stadium will be back.
King suite was nice, staff was pleasant to work with. Breakfast buffet was very good. Very close to transportation, city, and plenty of bars and restaurants near by.
Love this hotel and have stayed several times. Close to everything you could want to do in Southbank and only a short walk to other great areas across the river. Always smells great, always clean, rooms are comfortable and quiet. Best breakfast buffet. Will continue to stay here for years to come.
Central to Brisbane transport very easy to get to destinations The train from the domestic airport and walk to the hotel was seamless as were the many choices for breakfast lunch and dinner. Definitely stay there again
Very lovely room for a family, the sofa bed is for kids use only though, not comfortable for anyone over 5ft tall. Super close to everything and the staff were lovely!
