Brisbane hotellit South Brisbane

Plussat: The accommodation was really nice

Miinukset: This is one of the nicest places ive stayed

Plussat: Very well located modern South Brisbane apartment building close to the river and Convention Center. Although the bedroom was a bit cramped, the main living area was large and comfortably furnished and the kitchen decently equipped, even though a few more utensils would have been good. Bathroom was good and there was certainly no shortage of storage space. Our large balcony had great views of the city center and was ideal for enjoying breakfast/supper. Plenty of restauants and bars nearby too. Free garage space was a big positive. Definitely recommended.

Miinukset: Although getting to the Opera Apartments by car was pretty straight-forward, you have to be lucky to bag a parking space outside when checking in so that you can then be let into the basement garage. The "reception" area is basically a counter in the lift lobby and easy to miss when first arriving! Some traffic noise could be intrusive.

Plussat: Close to restaurants walk everywhere

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We have stayed here before and live the location and free secure parking. The apartment is well equipped and very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Privacy from neighbouring apartments.

Plussat: The rooftop gardens and pool satisfied this weary traveler. The lack of solar power though in this building surprises -

Miinukset: Wifi is exasperating. Unbelievablly problematic. On an iphone, access to internet was a daily skirmish. There is an intrinsic problem with wifi here. There is no continuity of kitchen essentials - some apartments have scissors, some not, more than one fry pan, more than one bowl etc. In this crisis over toilet tissue - none in markets I have visited twice weekly, hospitality would become evident by providing it and kleenex. Cleaning - vacuum useless in first apartment - missing the extension rod, no suction, mop required replacement sponge, quality really lacking here

Plussat: The pool was the highlight! The view from the rooftop was stunning! A great place to rest and recharge. The area is also easily accessible, there is a train station very close to the apartment and makes travelling super easy!

Plussat: Check-in was very easy, the room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

Miinukset: I didn't like paying for $35 for parking but overall our stay was comfortable and clean.

Plussat: The room and the food

Plussat: It’s clean, easy check in and very comfortable bed.

Miinukset: I don’t agree with parking charges.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good restaurant, reasonably priced. FABULOUS location.

Miinukset: Hotel has limited long-stay rooms, i.e., with stove and separate bedroom/living room. But a very nice hotel.

Plussat: Location is perfect and great facilities

Plussat: Great location and valet parking.

Plussat: Everything was super clean and the pool and spa are awesome.My requests were delivered.Thank you very much

Miinukset: The only thi g was the $40.00 for my car per night which cost $80.00 even thou got there late Friday and left 10.00 Sunday.Should be free parking for guests

Plussat: Excellent staff and receptionist

Plussat: Staff very friendly- excellent location and layout of room ideal for our family

Miinukset: Interiors could use updating (eg shower leaked). Hot water took more than 10 minutes to come on in the shower.

Plussat: I stayed at The Mantra because it was across the road from QPAC and the cheapest for the one night. The upside to the stay was the room was spacious and it had an outdoor area though the view was blocked with trees but that's not really an issue,nobody really wants to do into the buildings across the road. I don't really have that many positives.

Miinukset: My issues are when I went to check in,the staff member who checked me in didn't explain everything to me. I've checked into enough hotels that I understand what to do and the fob key gives access to almost everything etc. Though unfortunely the guy didn't say if there was a pool/gym including which floor it was on nor did he give me wifi information. The staff member was more interested in trying to get me to sign up to a members program. Once I got to my room,I had to figure the wifi out by myself,turns out he actually didn't give me the access code,I found that out AFTER I went back down to reception to figure out why I couldn't connect. Upside is the staff member that helped me connect gave me a drink voucher to make up for my trouble. The bed was heavily uncomfortable,it felt like there was NO mattress on the he structure. It felt like I was laying on planks of wood,highly uncomfortable. When I went to use the drink voucher,the staff member at the bar automatically assumed I drink alcohol and asked which alcoholic drink I would like. Which,I'm pretty sure goes against RSA cause she didn't ask for ID. I asked if she served soft drink and she was hesitant to give me non alcoholic options.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Rubbish left in the room from the previous people!

Plussat: Location and valet parking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the locality

Miinukset: no room service- i realise that was because of Covid18

Plussat: Forest was v helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was an ideal location for attending a conference at the Brisbane convention centre, particularly as I was travelling alone. Great, spacious, well equipped rooms.

Miinukset: I thought the price was a little on the high side. The noise of the nearby train could be an issue.

Plussat: The staff were very pleasant, our room was large & well equiped,and was very convenient to trains & ferries.

Plussat: Convenient location, pleasant environment and excellent staff

Miinukset: Loud train noise outside my room making sleeping difficult

Plussat: It was lovely having a luxury two bedroom apartment that had a great view of the fireworks and that is very close to the Brisbane River.

Miinukset: Couldnt see pancakes on the buffet breakfast.

Plussat: Proximity to City centre, but no price advantage to offset the not-so- convenient South Bank location. Other hotels better located in the cbd can be had for the same price.

Miinukset: The hotel's internet connection is not good. Docomointertouch does not replicate Outlook e-mail. This is a Docomointertouch problem, and despite having complained about this many times they have not addressed the problem. You can find similar complaints on the Flyer Talk website for other guests who have come accross Docomointertouch at other hotel chains (Hyatt etc). Also, your washbasin in the bathroom is less than minimalistic: no space for 2 toiletry bags, and hardly sufficient space to wash, water splashing everywhere. Not good.

Plussat: location was perfect for our function we attended , the water view and walk and market on sunday was great my wife and i yed in town all day.

Miinukset: the bath room was very poorly lit , lights out etc.

Plussat: Staff were extremely helpful. I was in an 8-bed dormitory, and there was plenty of room. Breakfast was basic but did the job...cereal and toast, coffee/tea and cordial. Never seemed to be too noisy to sleep.

Miinukset: They had a separate area for smokers, but when the wind blew in the wrong direction, you could smell it while eating.

Plussat: relatively quiet backpackers, free toast for brekky, good sturdy beds that did not make noise, shower in the room, water fountain, clean tables and benches

Miinukset: average clenliness in the room

Plussat: Water servers. Smoking spaces

Miinukset: Noise ( music )that other people make at night

Plussat: Good wi-fi connection in the the room

Miinukset: NOTE THAT THE OWNERS/OPERATORS OF THIS FACILITY WILL TRY TO DISCREDIT ME BY LABELING ME WITH VERY NEGATIVE ADJECTIVES BECAUSE WHAT I WILL REVEAL TO YOU HERE: This whole property is geared towards one purpose - to get you there and to sell you as much alcohol as possible. There are signs everywhere, TV advertisements, wall posters, etc., trying to get you to buy their 'cheap' alcohol. The party starts early and when I arrived at 8pm and I could hear from 200 meters away people screaming and making incredible noise, many (young) people were already drunk. I rented a room on my own and the second night, after 7pm a young woman opened all of a sudden the door (I was undressed) pretending to ask me if the air conditioning was ok. The same things happened the following night, two employees opened my door (on both occasions, WITHOUT KNOCKING) and they came right in asking if the A/C was ok. They scared the heck out of me, I threw them out of the room and went downstairs to complain to the manager. She looked at the tapes and sure enough, THEY PRETEND to knock (so that the tape can show it) and a fraction of second later, they rush into the room pretending to ask for the A/C (which is stupid, because if the A/C/ did not work, all you had to go go downstairs and tell them). After asking around, I confirmed that they rush into any room they like, unannounced, so that they can catch the people drinking alcohol from outside sources, they want you to buy their cheap alcohol for their skyrocketing prices. I was verbally abused when I told the management when I realised what they were doing (which was also confirmed by a member of their staff) and she threatened to throw me out if I told anyone. So, unless you are in the mood of getting wasted every day and having cheap alcohol shoved down your throat, this is not the property for you. What they are doing is an invasion of privacy, of everyone's privacy so that they can sell alcohol..

Plussat: TV room. Free breakfast. Female dormitory with adjoining bathroom. Fantastic staff. Free regular shuttle bus. Free wifi. Free sunscreen. Good security system with two doors to get through to dormitories by a card on a lanyard. Book swap.

Miinukset: The scruffy old, battered red table by the sofas is repellent. For the first week other women in the room used our balcony area to socialise very loudly outside until well after midnight, with guests there not from our dormitory, including male voices. I felt exhausted from lack of sleep. Their stuff was all over the dormitory an bathroom surfaces, leaving no room for my things. One woman took over 30 minutes for her shower in the morning. Luckily, I could use the two pool showers which were usually available, clean and clear. The woman in the bunk above me commandeered my large allocated space in the open cupboard next to my bed the whole time of about three weeks I was there. It was therefore particularly inconvenient to have to keep 80% of my belongings in a locker a long way away in the outside car park. However, I decided not to complain, as the women were there longer than me and I chose to keep adapting my routine to use the dormitory only from midnight or later to 7 or 8 am. The location meant I had fabulous days out at South Bank and Brisbane. I almost left in the first week, but the staff, especially Iris, Johan and Mitch helped me to enjoy the hostel. My main concern was that the night before I left I spoke to a guest who seemed to say his female partner had come to the hostel for her self-isolation. Yet he clearly indicated she was there in the kitchen. I do not think that this should have been allowed. I had heard staff take their phone call a day or so earlier and talk about it, but assumed it would not be allowed. Hardly anyone in Brisbane was taking Covid19 seriously then, which was one of the reasons I cut my holiday short and went home.
