Amora Hotel Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel how close it was to Central Station and Queen Street Mall"

Brisbane Skytower Apartments by CLLIX

10/10 Excellent

"Spectacular views, clean, excellent communication by the staff online and in reception. Lovely reception staff. Parking is available for a fee which is well worth it. We got a little lost each time trying to find the car with all the different lifts which isn’t a big deal. The lifts are fast which is good for most people, but sadly wasn’t ideal for the adults like us who experience vertigo, as with the movement of the building. Kids had a ball."

Swiss-Belhotel Woolloongabba, Brisbane

6/10 Okay

"It was located in a good spot with a quick walk to the bus station. They didn't change the towels or bedding with the room service. The service from the front desk staff was very professional and kind, the restaurant though had staff playing loud music while guests were eating and were on their phones quite a bit."

The Star Grand Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at The Star. Although it was a Monday night, the rooftop Sky Deck was full of people and the views just stunning! Room was gorgeous, recommend the river view (the higher up the better!) We had dinner at Dark Sheppard and were well looked after by the team. Would definitely do a little staycation again at The Star!"
