My wife and I enjoyed two incredible nights here. Check in was incredibly smooth and fast. Counter staff were friendly and helpful. Location allowed us to travel to the city center for shopping and to Southbank on foot. The architecture has great character. We liked that the room's design and furniture selection retained most of the building's old world charm. It was incredibly spacious and had high ceilings which is rare in apartments today, much less hotels. If we were nitpicky, the only...

InterContinental Brisbane by IHG

Brisbane Central Business District

10/10 Excellent

Check-in and express checkout were quick, helped by professional, friendly counter staff. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Daily cleaning staff did work in details making it very pleasant after returning from work. The hotel location is central in CBD, and there are many good eating places nearly. Short walking distance to Brisbane City Gardens for a pleasant and refreshing walk in the morning before work or in the early evening after work. Highly recommended.

Spring Hill

8/10 Good

I booked last minute and probably got the worst room (203) - it was a bit dingy, the tiles in the bathroom were stained/dirty... etc. I asked for room cleaning on the second morning and the bed was made haphazardly (i could have done better) and the glasses from the night before weren't taken away, new towels were thrown over the bathtub. Just a bit underwhelming for $400 a night. However, the free drinks and the staff at the bar - 10/10. The bed was also extremely comfortable. I met the...
