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.
Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX
The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to everything we needed, with great restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Our family stayed in two different rooms: my kids were thrilled to be on the 65th floor, where the views of Brisbane’s skyline were absolutely stunning and they couldn’t stop gushing about it. Meanwhile, my partner and I were on the 7th floor, which was perfect for us—quiet, comfortable, and ideal for older travelers. We even took a leisurely 15-minute stroll to South Bank Park, where we enjoyed riding the Ferris wheel and exploring the evening market under the lights. Everything from the layout to the service felt thoughtfully designed for families. This place truly delivers an exceptional experience—highly recommend for anyone visiting Brisbane.
Quest Woolloongabba
Staying at Quest Woolloongabba was an absolute delight! The super spacious suite offered a generous living area with a dining table and a cozy entertainment zone—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The kitchen was fully equipped with a oven, dishwasher, fridge, stovetop, and all the cookware you could need. What stood out most was how thoughtfully everything was organized—each drawer had its own neatly arranged set of utensils, making meal prep a breeze. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the private balcony was a game-changer: sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a drink at sunset while overlooking the city skyline? Pure bliss. Located just minutes from the city center via public transit, this place offers unbeatable value. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brisbane.

I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Brisbane.
Oaks Brisbane River City Suites
The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Brisbane, just a short walk to downtown attractions and close to train stations, making getting around super convenient. I stayed in a spacious one-bedroom apartment on the 20th floor, which offered great views and plenty of room for comfort. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, the room was spotless, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. There is ongoing construction nearby, occasionally even late at night, but if you're out exploring the city all day, it’s not a major issue. What stood out most was the excellent soundproofing—perfect for a restful night’s sleep with minimal noise disturbance. Overall, this place offers great value and a very pleasant stay. I’d highly recommend these apartments.

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.

Staying at The Docks on Goodwin was an absolute delight from start to finish. The pool and spa area is beautifully designed—perfect for relaxing with a good book or soaking in the sun.

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.
Mantra on Mary
Staying at Mantra on Mary in Brisbane was an absolute delight. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out—always ready to assist with recommendations or directions. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: just a short walk to nearly everything in the CBD, including shopping centres, restaurants, nightlife, and major attractions. I appreciated how quiet and comfortable the room was after a long day exploring. The modern design and thoughtful touches made the stay feel luxurious without breaking the bank. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Brisbane—perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and great service.
Ivy and Eve Apartments by CLLIX
Staying at Ivy and Eve Apartments by CLLIX was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the train station, making it super easy to explore Brisbane’s city center and surrounding areas. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, with a bed that’s incredibly comfortable—great for a restful night’s sleep. The view from the window is breathtaking: panoramic shots of the city skyline, lush mountains, and the winding river below. It’s especially magical in the morning when the sun rises over the hills. Everything about this stay felt premium without the high price tag. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Brisbane—it’s truly a hidden gem!
