Whiteside Holidays from £2,166

We were on a stay-cay in Brisbane for several days to attend appointments. We chose this property mainly on location - near public transport and all the shops we required. It did not disappoint in this regard, and I would definately recommend the property if location is the main concern. On the whole, our stay was good, and the room we had was perfect for our requirements. However, it was quite run down - stains on the carpet and bedding (including the fabric bedhead), chips out of the paint, scuff marks on the walls etc. We didn't need to use all the amenities in the room - washing machine, cookware etc - but it seems quite well stocked. What was a little off-putting was all the passive-aggressive notices around the room. Break it, you pay for it; ask for more, you pay for it. That sort of thing. The property has a gym and pool, but there was a notice in the lifts saying it was out of bounds until further notice. Again, quite passive-aggressive. The garbage chute is an accident waiting to happen. Again, a notice instructs you to make sure the bag is purshed through; this was rather difficult for me, and I'm glad I'm not a little shorter, older or weaker. But like I said, it suited our needs perfectly and we would probably stay there again.

Very convenient for the convention center

The hotel is desperately in need of renovation. However the location is good which is all it has going for it.

Staff very helpful and friendly, room was spacious enough and all neat and clean. One annoyance though is the "desk chair" which gets to be the worse I have ever tried in a hotel! Really the only issue I faced during my 4-day stay. If you are not a business tarveller, not a concern I guess. Breakfast options were great with a very comprehensive variety of food, fruits, pastry, and drinks.

From the minute you walk in the welcome from all the staff is genuine, friendly and professional. The property itself has a lovely cosy laid back vibe and you’d never know it was a short walk from all the best entertainment that Brisbane has to offer. If you’re looking for the perfect venue for a romantic weekend break this is it. We will definitely be going back.
