Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

Amora Hotel Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff and beautifully comfy room. So easy to park"

Hotel Diana South Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"Tina was our hostess upon arrival. Exceptionally bubbly and helpful. The young lady we had upon checkout was equally as lovely. Very large, clean, comfortable room. Location is pretty good. Probably wouldn't consider it as "Southbank" as Google would suggest. But still walking distance to most things."

ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a real pleasure to stay at the Ibis Hotel in Brisbane, we were met by wonderfully smiling staff who helped us check-in which was a very smooth operation, the room was spacious extremely clean and comfortable, there were all the facilities you need in the room, for a long stay or overnight stop, the restaurant was lovely located on the ground floor, the choice of food was very good and reasonably priced, its location is brilliant for Brisbane airport just a short taxi ride or if you’re able, you can walk to it via a bridge. All in all the Ibis hotel is an excellent place to stay, would I book it again, absolutely."

The Star Grand Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Star Brisbane was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful, modern property and luxurious atmosphere. The hotel offers everything you could want in one place…multiple excellent restaurants, stylish bars and lounges, a vibrant casino, and stunning pool areas that make it easy to spend an entire day relaxing. The location is another huge plus. It’s within easy walking distance of South Bank, Queen Street Mall, and plenty of Brisbane’s top attractions, making it the perfect home base for exploring the city. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Every team member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. We loved every moment of our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book here again. If you’re looking for a luxurious hotel with amazing amenities and a prime location, The Star Brisbane is an easy 10/10. Highly recommend!"
