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 room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished, making it a relaxing retreat after a busy day. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. Breakfast is an additional cost, but honestly, it's priced fairly—comparable to eating out locally without the hassle. Overall, this place offers a unique blend of history, comfort, and value. I’d definitely choose it again when visiting Brisbane.
Hyatt Regency Brisbane
Staying at Hyatt Regency Brisbane was an absolute delight, especially for the location. Right downstairs, you’ve got a pharmacy, supermarket, shopping center, and plenty of dining options—everything you need is literally at your doorstep. It’s just a 15 to 20-minute walk to South Bank, making it super easy to explore the vibrant riverside area. Whether you’re enjoying a sunset stroll along the river, grabbing a casual meal, or just soaking in the local vibe, everything is within reach. The convenience factor is unbeatable, and the hotel itself offers a comfortable, well-maintained stay with excellent service. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Brisbane—it’s the perfect balance of comfort, accessibility, and city charm.
Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane
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.
Novotel Brisbane South Bank
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.
Rydges South Bank Brisbane an EVT hotel
Staying at Rydges South Bank Brisbane was an absolute breeze thanks to its unbeatable location—just a 2-minute walk from South Brisbane Station. The convenience of hopping on the train to explore the city or head to nearby attractions couldn’t be better. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with friendly staff who go the extra mile. I loved how quiet and peaceful the area felt despite being so close to everything. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this spot delivers comfort and value in spades. Definitely a top choice for anyone visiting Brisbane.
The Sebel Brisbane
I can't fault this hotel at all. We arrived early, and the friendly front desk staff went out of their way to rearrange room assignments and gave us a complimentary upgrade so we could check in ahead of schedule—such a thoughtful touch! The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and had an absolutely breathtaking view of the city skyline. We frequently travel to Brisbane for medical appointments, and after this stay, this hotel has officially become our go-to choice moving forward. The location is unbeatable—Queen Street Mall is just across the street, making shopping, dining, and exploring super convenient. Whether you're here for business or wellness visits, this place delivers comfort, service, and value in spades. Highly recommended!
YHA Brisbane City
I found the location of YHA Brisbane City to be quite convenient, though being on a slight hill does make hauling luggage a bit challenging. The nearby Coles supermarket is super handy for picking up groceries and cooking in the shared kitchen on the fifth floor—perfect for saving money and enjoying home-cooked meals. The rooftop terrace is absolutely stunning, offering great views where you can relax and eat while soaking in the scenery. Cleanliness is good overall, but the shared bathrooms are a bit small. I stayed in a dorm with shared facilities, and since my roommate went to bed early and turned off the lights, I had to be careful not to disturb them when showering. The storage cabinets in the room are spacious enough for a 29-inch suitcase, and towels and hairdryers are available at the front desk—just drop used towels into the yellow bin after use. The touchless water dispenser is a real game-changer; no need to buy bottled water—just fill your bottle right there. Downloading the YHA app made entry seamless—just scan your phone at the door. On my second day, we experienced a fire alarm alert. The staff reacted swiftly, knocking on every door to ensure everyone evacuated safely, then guided us calmly to the front entrance. Thankfully, it was just a false alarm—the local fire department arrived quickly, as they’re actually located on the same street, and their uniforms looked impressively sharp. After checking everything, they left, and life returned to normal. This experience actually reassured me about the safety standards here. Overall, the vibe, convenience, and value-for-money make this hostel a top choice. I’d definitely come back.
Oaks Brisbane on Charlotte Suites
Staying at Oaks Brisbane on Charlotte Suites was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of Brisbane, everything is within walking distance—shopping centres, restaurants, and entertainment spots are just steps away. The hotel is directly connected to the city’s public transport network, with train, bus, and subway stations right outside, making travel around the city incredibly convenient. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained—though it has a slightly older feel, it's still very comfortable and thoughtfully designed. What really stood out was the value for money; you get so much more than expected for the price. It’s rare to find a centrally located, well-kept hotel that offers such a great balance between comfort, convenience, and affordability. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Brisbane.
Courtyard by Marriott Brisbane South Bank
Staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Brisbane South Bank was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—right next to South Bank Parklands, with easy walking access to the riverfront, restaurants, and scenic spots. The room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable, especially the bed—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, satisfying both sweet and savory cravings. The hotel has a clean, modern business-friendly vibe that works great for work trips or short stays. It’s well-designed, convenient, and delivers excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Brisbane.
Capri by Fraser Brisbane
Staying at Capri by Fraser Brisbane was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, making it super easy to explore everything on foot or via public transport. The apartment itself is spacious and well-designed, with automated curtains that add a nice touch of modern convenience. I loved having access to the pool and fitness center—perfect for staying active during my trip. The pool was quiet, so I could enjoy a peaceful swim anytime, and the gym had great equipment. 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.
Vine Serviced Apartments
Staying at Vine Serviced Apartments was a fantastic choice—its location is perfect, just a short walk from Streets Beach. The convenience of being close to the ocean while still having all the comforts of home made our trip truly enjoyable. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and offered great value for money. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Brisbane.
Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane
I absolutely have to give this hotel a glowing review—truly exceeded my expectations! When I mentioned to the front desk staff that I was exhausted from a restless night, they kindly offered me an early check-in without hesitation. The moment I stepped into the lobby, I could tell this place stood out from the rest. The ambiance is modern, clean, and incredibly inviting—definitely worth every penny. The view at night is breathtaking; from the window, you get a stunning panorama of Brisbane’s skyline that makes staying in feel like a luxury experience. Honestly, I originally booked another property called Ascot Budget Inn & Residences, but the condition was terrible—the beds weren’t properly cleaned, and the overall atmosphere was unpleasant. After just one night, I switched hotels immediately. Choosing Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane was one of the best decisions I’ve made during my trip. If you’re looking for comfort, quality, and great value, this is it. A perfect 10/10 experience!
