Emporium Hotel South Bank

South Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was in a fantastic location, close to the river and just a short walk from the shops across the river. The breakfast was amazing, and we loved having the opportunity to enjoy breakfast on the top floor while taking in the beautiful views. We also enjoyed breakfast at the little café next door, which was equally delicious. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed our stay.

The Star Grand Brisbane

Brisbane Central Business District

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful hotel. Staff were helpful and courteous. Room and view was amazing. Perfectly situated for getting around and I always felt safe as a solo traveller. Pools and sky bar were also fabulous. Casino was something a little extra if you had time and money to spare. Only negative and this applied to much of Australia was the inability to get a proper meal after about 9pm! Room service food however was pretty good.

10/10 Excellent

Loved Hastings Street and fabulous apartment. My only concern was being asked to write down my credit card details, including CVC code and when I queried their security at Reception, was shown that they were just shoved in a pigeon hole at the front of reception desk, easily accessed by anyone! I refused to allow this and they then entered into the system. This was possibly down to our arrival after Reception closed on a Sunday but the paperwork could easily have just requested I visit Reception...

A modern living room with a green sofa, a round table, and a chair, overlooking a cityscape and river.

Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane

Brisbane Central Business District

10/10 Excellent

We had a great stay at the Adina Apartment Hotel. The staff gave us a warm welcome and the room was clean and had everything that we needed. The big plus was that we had washing facilities which meant that after several weeks on holiday in Australia we were able to catch up with our laundry. The hotel has a great position right next to the main shopping area and very close to the river with access to the river taxi service. A five star stay.

Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre by IHG

Brisbane Central Business District

10/10 Excellent

Super friendly staff. Room was very new, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing with wide selection. The only improvement it can make is to install some proper curtains. The room i stayed in only had semi sheer curtains which did nothing to the sunlight and I didn’t feel it can protect my privacy if I chose to change in the room. Walkable to city centre, the Brisbane convention centre and the train station.

10/10 Excellent

Ideally located below the Story Bridge, this gem of a hotel is wonderful for a short stay in Brisbane. We had a fantastic view of the Bridge and the City from our room and it is in easy walking distance of restaurants and the ferry stops. The room was large; the bed extremely comfortable and the shower was fantastic although the glass screen between the bedroom and the bathroom was unusual!! There is a curtain if you want some privacy. A great find set away from The bustle of the city
