    It is tired, has traffic noise. Two bars of soap would have been useful

    I Know that it is not the fault of the hotel but the traffic noise at night can be a nuisance especially if you are a light sleeper. We could hear the man next door coughing most of the night.

    It is handy to the performing arts center and all the attractions at South Bank. Apartment was small but comfortable and staff were great, the restaurant was handy and breakfast was good.

    The website said room service but there was none. I didn't mind going to the restaurant but if your website offers something it should be available (perhaps your website needs updating). I went to the restaurant for dinner and there was only one lady to serve everyone. It was a little busy so she was having trouble keeping up with prompt service. I saw some tables had not been cleaned from previous diners. She was friendly and I didn't mind waiting, she advised the special of the day was Lasagna so I ordered that. Unfortunately the lasagna came out stone cold in the middle. I assume the chef just warms some of the food up so perhaps he/she needs a lesson in how to microwave the food if it is not freshly cooked. The chips were hot and salad nice. I noticed another patron leaving to pay so I waited a few minutes as the server wasn't in the restaurant. As it had been a few minutes and I really had no need to wait any longer I joined the patron at the register. We spoke and I said the lady serving was obviously busy and I couldn't believe there were two staff members sitting in reception serving no one. I had to ask them to come and serve us as they had no awareness of just how busy the server was in the restaurant nor that we were standing at the counter waiting to pay to leave. The gentleman processed both of us and in that time the server still had not come back to the restaurant. The reception staff should really be aware and helping out the restaurant on these occasions. The view from customers is that there are two staff sitting in reception worrying more about typing then customer service. Nothing is more important than customers - without them you don't have a business/job. One of them could easily go back and forth between reception and the restaurant or perhaps station themselves there at the register while service is at it's busiest to serve takeaway customers and to assist those paying when leaving.

    The room was spacious, clean and had everything I needed. I purposely booked for easy access to the art galleries and these were within a 5 minute walk. There was also a handy convenience store and liquor store in the next street so I was able to get supplies for the evening (perhaps staff could mention that to people when they are checking in).

    Room was just as expected - basic but in good location with easy access to Southbank & the city. View was of the Parmalat building. 😉😂

    Staff were so friendly & helpful! Pleasantly surprised by how lovely they were. Parking was much better than most places - decent sized carparks & easy access. Room was clean, although dated, but very comfortable. It was perfect for our needs.

    It’s not really about the property but the only downside I had on our stay was getting food at 10:00 at night in the city. Everything closed earlier than I expected.

    The convenience to queen st market and Suncorp was great. Staff were friendly and polite. Rooms were clean and maintained well. The off street parking is a great bonus.
