Well priced but wouldnt stay again. The room was a health hazard. Pros: -good price for location -parking cost is reasonable (car park is really small and can be tricky to navigate though) -bed was comfy Cons: -the room was pretty filthy and i dont think its ever been cleaned properly (see photos i took of the worst areas) -thick layer of dust and mould everywhere resulting in hayfever symptoms within a short period of entering the room for both of us (sore eyes, sneezing, blocked nose) and woke up with a sore throat -the train track nearby runs late and starts around 4am and is extremely loud -slept for around 2 hours max due to the area being loud in general (night works until around 10pm, someone crying loudly outside at around midnight etc)
We had a doctor appointment next door, so was very convenient for us. We found the Room was clean, with plenty of tea and coffee facilities in the room available. The bed was pretty comfortable, restaurant was great with reasonable prices. Staff at hotel and restaurant were excellent and helpful. We were able to check in early which was awesome. Only thing I could be picky about would be the sliding door to the balcony was really hard to open and close, the runner was dirty so assumed this was the reason. Not a big deal though. Although our stay was only overnight I would gladly stay here again.
I normally enjoy staying here. We stayed in room 410 and got locked out on the balcony tried several times to ring reception but there was no answer. We manged to jiggle the door open. We went to dinner in the restaurant, the food was basic pub grub which was nice. The bar staff did not want to be at work tonight. They left the bar unattened for ten minutes not once but twice they went down the hall together chatting away. One left gloves on that she cleared tables with as she served someone at the bar. The other was on her phone alot. The kitchen staff were also on phones, the one at the pass was sitting down having a great old time picking at and rubbing his nose. We have never had dinner here before but we thought why not for a change because breakfast is normally nice. Coming from a hospitality background I do expect more from waitstaff.
I'm glad I was in 407, not next to 410. The racket in that room from one or more child/children could clearly be heard out in the corridor, so I'm guessing the neighbouring rooms would have heard the noise through the walls. Now here's all the positives! There are many.... My late check-in (after 22:00) was expertly arranged. Excellent communication with clear instructions. Great value close to the city centre, and Roma Street station (10 minute walk downhill in, 12-18 minute walk uphill back) Loop bus to city centre very close if you don't want to walk...Windmill stop pretty much right outside. Goes roughly evey 15 minutes. Excellent consistent high speed Wi-Fi. I was getting over 120 Mb/s. Exceelent value daily lunch specials. Very friendly and helpful staff at reception and in the restaurant. Coffee pod machine in room, with pods supplied every day. In addition to the usual sachets of coffee/tea.
Awesome round building architecturally meaning that guests all have a fantastic balcony view out (including a view of the oldest structure in Queensland, the windmill). Our room was a little dark (mood lighting I guess with multiple small lights) and up a hill/staircase from the city but we enjoyed the stay a lot nonetheless. Great value for money and nice staff.
