Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautifully designed rooms with lovely soft furnishings, clean firm beds, beautiful fresh linens, contemporary decor, artworks, and even a freestanding bath. The view over the rooftops adds to the charm. However, the prices may not be the most budget-friendly option.
This hotel pleasantly surprised me in many ways. The rooms were beautifully appointed with large balconies and kitchenettes, featuring lovely clean firm beds and beautiful fresh linen with an individual touch. The service was impeccable, offering convenient amenities like dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. The location, perched on a hill in a very quiet area of Brisbane, provided easy access to all the best attractions in Brisbane's city center. However, the dining options, especially for poultry dishes, could be more varied. Overall, a great value for money stay with modern facilities and friendly staff.
The hotel is beautifully decorated with contemporary decor and artworks. The rooms offer a freestanding bath and beautiful soft furnishings, but being on the lowest level means no views. The service provides dry cleaning, housekeeping, grocery shopping service, and laundry. The location is very quiet on a hill and convenient to hospitals. The dining offers traditional meals. The facilities are top-notch.
The hotel is situated on a hill in a very quiet area, offering easy access to surrounding inner city suburbs and a delightful experience at the front restaurant during breakfast. The rooms boast modern design, contemporary decor, artworks, and a freestanding bath, all complemented by very comfy beds. However, the dining experience was somewhat flawed, with limited breakfast choices. The hotel’s tranquil location and proximity to Brisbane center make it a great choice for a relaxing stay.
