    Bathrooms were old and dated, and air con was noisy.

    Great location, easy walk to Southbank, at train station.

    Great location. In town to see the ballet and The Riverside Hotel was the best place and price for the one night we needed to stay. A nice easy walk along the river to the Playhouse.

    The pillows and mattress could have been a bit more comfortable on the beds. And I would’ve appreciated a net curtain for privacy as well as having the Blockout curtains. Also, second day I had a cold shower in the morning – not sure why? All else fine, thank you.

    Riverside is in a fantastic location, can reach so many parts of the city on foot and explore the cultural centre so easily. Staff were very helpful at all times.

    Beds weren't very comfortable and the hotel looks a bit old, but it isn't anything to put it off. I am just writing this because it is a question in the survey.

    The hotel is very well located, walking distance from many interesting places like QPAC, Queensland museum and the river, restaurants and bars

    Bed mattress was a bit past its use by date very saggy not very supportive. TV needed a university degree to work and kept dropping free tv out and was a bit stressy to find way back to it. overall the room was good for its age.

    easy access to room and room was a good size, the facilities were good. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was above average for a buffet with a large variety. The premises were clean we will probably return.

    Air Conditioning unit very old and noisy. It started dripping heavily through the night so we placed a towel on the chair but in the end had to turn it off - fortunately the room was cool enough till morning.

    Staff lovely. Car park great. Room clean. Bed Comfortable.

    Presentation of complex on website suggests a higher level of accommodation than the rooms actually are. Very basic and tired presentation. Mold in shower, dents in walls.

    I chose not to have my room serviced most days because I was there for 10 days and didn't need it. On the days it was serviced it wasn't cleaned and on one occasion nothing in the bathroom was replaced. But I appreciate that it was a busy time.

    Have stayed at this hotel many times mainly because of the location - very close to QPAC, Art Gallery and walking distance to CBD. It's fairly basic but comfortable and clean, and it has free parking. Will definitely stay there again.

    Bucket with last residents cigarette butts left on balcony. A little maintenance would be good, curtains coming away from bracket and carpet not clean.

    Location was fabulous, pool was great. The $10 voucher for no cleaning slightly disingenuous. Would have been nice for meals other than breakfast. The room cleaning staff were good, very helpful and pleasant.
