Brisbane Hotel Tips by Mikebb

We had an overnight stay at this city hotel whilst waiting for a flight to Hamilton Island. The hotel has 2 sections, the original hotel which must be 50 or more years old and I was told by a guest the rooms were very small but value for the low price.We stayed in the tower apartment which has recently been refurbished, our room was spacious and comfortable,a good sized bathroom, very clean. The room also had a kitchenette, airconditioning and a balcony, free undercover parking was provided. Buffet breakfast was included in the price. It is a five minute walk to the city's central shopping centre, 15 minute walk to Southbank. The hotel was
rated 4 star. Room cost was AU$140 per night

Unique Qualities: Character hotel ( original section), 5 minute walk to the City's central business and shopping area.

We had 2 nights in a deluxe room on the 6th floor, very nicely furnished, recently refurbished with plenty of space, included was a good sized coffee table and 2 very comfortable chairs, refrigerator, kettle etc etc. Our room was on the top floor and had a view over the beautiful Roma Street parklands. Buffet breakfast was included, the restaurant had a nice alfresco area overlooking the outdoor pool. There is a small laundry available for guest use, and undercover security parking available at Au $7.50 per day. Deluxe room tariff Au $185 per night. We enjoyed our stay and would return again.

The hotel also has an older section where renovations had just commenced when we visited the first week of September, 2006.
