Awesome hotel, best location and friendly staff. Will be back!
Pros:

Great location, well run hotel with friendly staff and great amenities with an awesome gym!

Cons:

Seems that booking.com are allocated the worst rooms in the hotel. The room given to me was 415 at the very end of the hotel with constant noise during the night which was most disconcerting for a decent night’s sleep.

Fantastic comfort, service and unpretentious ambiance.
Pros:

The breakfast menu was innovative but interesting and healthy. The seating arrangements were fine too. I liked the fact there was a choice of inside and outside and that as a person who is slightly disabled there was no difficulty in your staff finding me a chair with a back rather than a high stool type chair. This is a very small point but can I mention the mushrooms I haven’t checked but I don’t recollect your menu states which type of mushroom will be served? I was a bit surprised therefore to find mixed mushrooms when I had been expecting something more like Portobello anyway this is very much a first world problem your hotel is one of the best I have ever stayed in.

Cons:

This is also a small point, but I think that in a hotel of your quality the rooms should be supplied with a bottle of water which is free. It’s a gesture which would cost not very much.

I adored my stay at The Calile in Brisbane; super fabulous in every way. I would recommend it to all
Pros:

I loved the restaurant on the ground floor and ability to sit at the bar to eat - great ambiance and easy listening music (not too loud/not too soft)
The staff where all really lovely; so chatty and welcoming especially at the front desk and breakfast bar
Loved the atmosphere and calm palette of colours. The pool setting was terrific and so easy going.
Loved the fans in the hallways! Finally someone who thought of this!

Cons:

Light switch in my bathroom didn't work - but there was another switch for this by the bed
Fridge was leaking on floor a little but this did not make any difference to my giving them a 10/10 review
