The Westin Brisbane truly exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive from the moment I arrived—every interaction felt personal and genuine. I was particularly impressed with the food quality; it wasn’t about having a huge variety, but rather the care put into each dish. Every meal tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and delicious. I spent a lot of time relaxing by the club lounge pool, where luggage storage was handled seamlessly—no stress at all. The attention to detail throughout the stay made me feel truly valued. This is more than just a hotel—it’s a comfortable, luxurious retreat in the heart of Brisbane. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier experience.
Staying at Pullman Brisbane King George Square was an excellent choice for me. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right next to the city hall, with easy access to public transit, shopping centers, and a wide variety of dining options. I loved how walkable everything was. While the interior design feels a bit dated, the staff more than made up for it with their warm, professional service. The room was spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep after a busy day exploring. Even though some parts of the building show signs of age, the overall experience was top-notch. It’s clear that attention to guest comfort hasn’t been overlooked. Definitely a 10/10 and I’d stay here again without hesitation.
The Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane is perfectly located—just a 5- to 6-minute walk from the bridge connecting to South Bank Parklands, making it super convenient for exploring the city and hopping on the train. The room location was a bit underwhelming though; the window faced a neighboring building’s side wall with zero views. Still, the breakfast was fantastic—wide variety, and they even made special meals for my kids, including scrambled eggs and egg rolls. It’s not just about the location or the food, but the overall experience that makes me want to recommend this hotel to friends.
Staying at Novotel Brisbane South Bank was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room came with a coffee machine and fridge—perfect for a quick morning brew or keeping drinks cool. Outside, the pool area is spotless and inviting, ideal for relaxing under the Queensland sun. Cleanliness stood out too—the bathroom was immaculate, and while they don’t provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, or slippers like some hotels, they do offer single-use hygiene bags, which I actually appreciated as a thoughtful touch. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was stunning—especially during sunset when the city lights began to sparkle across the river. What really made the experience special was the front desk staff: one of the team spoke fluent Chinese and helped me resolve an issue with my magnetic stripe credit card that wouldn’t scan—super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh options. Overall, this hotel delivers on comfort, service, and location. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Brisbane.

The location is perfect—just a short walk across the bridge to North Brisbane, and it’s easy to hop over to Queen Street Mall for some lively shopping and dining. The kitchen is well-equipped, so I cooked up a delicious steak right on-site—tender, juicy, and absolutely satisfying. The neighborhood feels safe and peaceful, which made my stay even more relaxing. A quick train ride (about 1h 20m) gets you to the Gold Coast, where I spent a day soaking up the sun and waves—pure bliss. This place offers great value and comfort, and I’d definitely book again.
Staying at Oaks Brisbane Casino Tower Suites was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and welcoming. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Brisbane, just a short walk from shopping streets, restaurants, and entertainment hubs. Our suite was spacious, beautifully furnished, and had all the modern amenities we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and professional service—always smiling, always helpful. What really stood out was the convenience of having the casino right on-site; it added a unique charm to the stay, especially in the evening when the atmosphere came alive. Everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations. It's not just a place to stay—it feels like home away from home. I’d definitely book again without hesitation.
Staying at this historic hotel was a real highlight of my trip. I actually loved the slightly worn furniture in the room—it added character and charm, not unlike the subtle marks of time that give a place personality (don’t worry, it’s minimal and doesn’t affect comfort—just a hint of vintage authenticity). We did mention the minor wear to the front desk just to clarify, since we didn’t want them to think we caused any damage. The location is unbeatable—everything is within walking distance, which made exploring so convenient. My dad even made it a daily ritual to grab coffee from different cafés around the neighborhood, enjoying the local vibe each morning. There’s a great restaurant right downstairs, bustling with guests all day long—the coffee there was rich and delicious, and my younger sister took some pastries out for a picnic. Cleanliness is top-notch too—housekeeping comes in every day to tidy up and restock essentials, which shows real attention to detail. Honestly, the value for money is excellent. The only small downside? The carpet in the room could use a refresh, and the deposit process felt a bit unclear: they placed a pre-authorization hold, but the refund wasn’t processed upon checkout. So if you’re staying here, double-check your bank statement after leaving—just in case. Overall, though, I’d highly recommend this place for its unique atmosphere, great location, and warm hospitality.
The Central Cosmo Apartment Hotel is an absolute gem in Brisbane! Its location is perfect—just a short walk from Milton Station, making commuting super convenient. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained with modern touches throughout. The staff are friendly and helpful during check-in hours. One thing to note: check-in must be completed by 5 PM, as the front desk closes afterward—so plan accordingly if you're arriving later. Despite that minor detail, the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely book this property again on my next trip to Brisbane. Highly recommend it for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and great quality at a reasonable price.
