The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept like babies throughout the entire stay.

Story Apartments
Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a spacious and well-maintained unit. The place felt clean and offered good value for the price. That said, there were a few issues that could be improved. While there was a washing machine and drying rack, no clothes pegs were provided—something basic but very useful. The garbage disposal in the sink wasn’t clearly marked, which turned out to be a safety concern. I accidentally placed a few knives in the sink and tried to turn on what I thought was a light switch—immediately, the disposal kicked in, sending the knives bouncing around. One nearly fell into the blades. That was scary and could’ve been dangerous. There was also no instruction manual for the kettle—after fumbling with several buttons, I gave up and boiled water in a saucepan on the stove. The couch was extremely low and stiff, making it difficult to get up from, especially for older guests or those with back or knee issues. We ended up using kitchen chairs instead. A dirty knife was left in the sink, which raised hygiene concerns. Lastly, the pool location wasn’t clearly signposted. We took the elevator to what we assumed was the right floor, only to find glass doors leading outside with no indication that this was where the pool was. We had to call reception to confirm the way. Clearer signage would make a big difference. Overall, a decent experience, but attention to these small details would greatly enhance comfort and safety.
S&P Apartments - Albert St - Formerly Brisbane City Apartments
Staying in this one-bedroom apartment right in the heart of Brisbane was an absolute delight.

The location is incredibly well-connected to public transit, so getting around the city was seamless. The management team was friendly, prompt, and always willing to help, which really added to the comfort of the stay. This place offers great value and convenience—perfect for travelers who want to be in the middle of it all without sacrificing comfort.
The Wellington Apartment Hotel
Staying at The Wellington Apartment Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The apartment-style accommodation was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable—perfect for a relaxed stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient, with no delays. While the hotel isn’t right next to public transit, it’s only about a 10-minute walk to the ferry terminal, which is manageable. What really stood out was the convenience of having local markets and great dining options just around the corner—perfect for grabbing a quick bite or picking up snacks. I stayed here because a friend recommended it, as it’s close to their place, and I can see why. It’s a great choice if you're looking for a quiet, home-like atmosphere without sacrificing accessibility to amenities. Highly recommend for travelers who value comfort and simplicity.
