Pros:

Loved the overall style of this hotel! Lovely staff too.

Cons:

Random things broken in our room, not a major issue but just left an impression - towel rack came off from the wall, and towel hangers etc were also broken.

Beautiful heritage building decorated with "old world charm" yet with all modern amenities
Pros:

Beautiful heritage building decorated with "old world charm" yet with all modern amenities at your fingertips. Great staff, fantastic bar, very comfortable beds. I stayed a week for business and couldn't have been happier.

Cons:

Due to the age of the building there are some signs of wear.

Cute property with really lovely staff.
Pros:

This is a super cute little hotel with lovely, friendly and welcoming staff. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was really comfortable too. Parking was super easy nearby (at the weekend). The pastry and coffee in the morning was a lovely surprise too. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Brisbane for a night or two.

Cons:

Nothing.

Fantastic stay, amazing old building
Pros:

Amazing property and lovely,helpful staff. Cool interior spaces and rooms were beautiful. Good location approx 10min walk down the hill to the riverside restaurants

Cons:

Was hard to find as we came up Creek St rather than Wickham and parking is in a parking building behind and you have to walk up a walkway by the building to find it.

Nice hotel but sound-proofing is insufficient given the location
Pros:

Nice boutique hotel, large and clean room, friendly staff

Cons:

The hotel is next to one of the busiest streets in the CBC, Turbot St, and the train. Unfortunately the sound-proofing is not up to the challenge.

Our third stay. Will come back when we visit Brisbane.
Pros:

Love the front bar & lounge area. Small, but full of character & warm & welcoming staff.
Love the old lift has retained the old world character.
Bed room, bed & bathroom all excellent.

Cons:

Non slip shower mat would be a bonus.

Un hôtel pensé comme une maison
Pros:

L'hôtel est en plein Central Business District, au pied de la Central Station et à 10m d'un point de taxi rivière. Donc idéal pour se déplacer. Malgré les routes passantes, l'hôtel est très calme (bon vitrage). Possibilité d'une machine à laver en sous-sol à disposition très pratique pour les longs séjours.

Cons:

Je pense que la déco était au top il y a 15 ans, maintenant elle est un peu défraichie, moquette, sanitaire... Odeur un peu de moisie (ou pas aéré). L'hôtel n'offre pas vraiment une restauration / Bar. C'est de l'appoint mais en soit il y a plein d'autres options à proximité.
