Staying at Treasury Brisbane felt like stepping into a timeless piece of Brisbane’s heritage. The hotel exudes old-money elegance with its classic architecture and refined ambiance. It's incredibly convenient—just a 5-minute walk to Queen Street Mall, perfect for shopping or exploring the city center.

The apartment itself is spacious and well-designed, with automated curtains that add a nice touch of modern convenience.

After a long day, the sauna was just what I needed to unwind. Plus, the price on the platform was incredibly competitive—great value for such a high-quality stay. Definitely recommend this place if you want comfort, convenience, and a little luxury without breaking the bank.

The Milton Brisbane

Staying at The Milton Brisbane was a pleasant surprise—spacious rooms with a cozy, home-like vibe that felt more like a boutique stay than a standard hotel. While the overall cleanliness isn’t quite up to the level of a luxury hotel, the bedding was clean and comfortable, which is what matters most. There were minor stains on the sofa, but nothing that detracted from the experience. What stood out was how well-equipped the room was—kitchenette essentials like a kettle, microwave, and basic cookware made self-catering easy. The location is unbeatable: just a 1-minute walk to the train station, making commutes to the airport or Gold Coast incredibly convenient. Just a heads-up—front desk isn’t open 24/7, so if you’re arriving late, be sure to contact the hotel in advance. Overall, it’s a great choice for travelers who value space, convenience, and a relaxed atmosphere without breaking the bank.

Lovely 2 Beds Apt with City View at South Brisbane

This experience was extremely disappointing. The listing appeared to be associated with a legitimate hotel based on the address shown, but it turned out to be completely unrelated. When we arrived, check-in wasn’t possible because the contact number provided was disconnected. We even called the phone number linked to the listed address, only to find no reservation under our name. In a rush, my family and I had to book another place last minute—losing both time and money. The platform continued to demand a $300 deposit despite already taking our payment. There’s no accountability from the provider, and support has been unhelpful. I’ve reported the fraudulent transaction to my bank (Commonwealth Bank of Australia), but they keep asking for more documents, even though we’ve already submitted everything. This situation left us frustrated and misled. I won’t use this service again and strongly advise others to avoid it.

The Point Brisbane Hotel

Staying at The Point Brisbane Hotel was an absolute delight. The room had a subtle, refreshing scent that made the space feel cozy and inviting. Located just steps away from the city center, everything—from restaurants to shops to public transit—was easily accessible. I loved hopping on a scooter right outside the hotel to explore the area, which added such a fun, laid-back vibe to my trip. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. Plus, having free parking right at the hotel entrance was a game-changer for me as a driver. The facilities are brand new and impeccably maintained—every detail feels modern and thoughtfully designed. If you're looking for a convenient, stylish, and welcoming base in Brisbane, this hotel is a top pick.

Emporium Hotel South Bank

Staying at Emporium Hotel South Bank was an absolute highlight of my Brisbane trip. The location is unbeatable—right next to South Bank Parklands, with easy walking access to the riverfront, restaurants, and all the city’s top attractions. The room itself is sleek and modern, with incredibly comfortable bedding that made falling asleep a dream. The view from the window? Absolutely stunning—every morning felt like a postcard. This room type is in high demand, so booking ahead is definitely recommended. What truly made the experience special was the rooftop pool. During the day, it’s open to all guests, but after 10 PM, it’s exclusively for hotel guests—meaning you get the whole level to yourself. That private, serene vibe at night was pure magic. And to kick things off, they even welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of champagne—such a thoughtful touch that really elevated the mood. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay—from check-in to checkout. They made us feel genuinely cared for, like we were part of the family. This place offers incredible value and unforgettable experiences. I’ll be back without a doubt.

InterContinental Brisbane

Absolutely delighted with this stay! The InterContinental Brisbane truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment we arrived, staff were attentive—helping with luggage and personally escorting us to our room. The facilities throughout the hotel are excellent, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. Breakfast wasn’t overly large in variety, but every item was thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients—everything tasted fresh and delicious, especially the local-style pastries. The view from the window offered a stunning glimpse of the city skyline, adding to the overall experience. Every touchpoint—from check-in and breakfast to room service and checkout—was seamless and satisfying. For the price, staying at such a premium property felt like an absolute steal. I’ll definitely be back here on my next trip to Brisbane.

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 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.

Stamford Plaza Brisbane

Stamford Plaza Brisbane is an absolute gem! The room was spacious and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night's sleep. I especially loved the retro-inspired decor—it gave the place a unique charm. I booked a river-view room, and the views were stunning—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The hotel is located in a vibrant area, surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops, so dining out is super convenient. Public transport access is excellent, making it easy to explore downtown Brisbane. Overall, the experience was top-notch, and I’d definitely return. Truly one of the best stays I’ve had in Australia.

The Star Grand Brisbane

Staying at The Star Grand Brisbane was a fantastic experience overall! The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—always ready to help with anything we needed. It's definitely a great value for the location and amenities. One minor issue stood out: the shower pressure was surprisingly weak, making it take forever to rinse shampoo out of my hair. What made it even more puzzling is that the bathtub and sink had strong water flow, so it’s strange that only the shower had low pressure. It really affected the showering experience. Hopefully, the hotel can look into fixing this soon—it would make an already excellent stay even better. Overall, I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Brisbane who wants convenience, comfort, and top-notch service.

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.
