This hotel is in a really great position close to art galleries, State library, museum and convention centre as well as the cultural life of Southbank. The staff are very helpful and respectful, the rooms are clean, bedding fresh and crisp, and the hotel easy to navigate. Breakfast and dinner are available on site, but many options for eating out are also available. I would recommend this hotel for your next Brisbane visit.
