Budget Hotels in Oceania, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific

"Nice hotel and I liked the room layout and the staff were great. At $550 a night I don’t think water in the room is too much to ask for along with a safe kettle and tea bags of a quality above floor sweepings and definitely not instant coffee! There were negatives but not the hotel’s fault. We didn’t realise it was a sporting event in Brisbane over the weekend that we were there, Magic Rounds?This meant that the hotel was MUCH more expensive, 3x the regular rate and an utter Bogan fest’. I had assumed that this was an Australian stereotype but they were out in force. Neanderthals with no shoes, shocking hair cuts, creepy moustaches and no social etiquette whatsoever. Wandering the corridors barefoot with a beer bottle in one hand and a phone in the other shouting loudly into it. Doors being slammed constantly, loud in the corridors and rooms and the whole place smelled of eau de McDonalds/KFC with the litter left outside the rooms a testament to its occupants. God forbid they got in a lift with you, there are weight limits in lifts for a reason. I really feel for the staff, and the housekeeping in particular, who had to deal with the mentally challenged. Would I stay again? Probably. Would I visit Brisbane during Magic Rounds again? Has Hell Frozen over yet?"

"Room large, bed comfy. Shower was average. Close to everything at Darling Harbour "

"Staff all very happy and friendly, one lift wasn’t working but lollies were available while waiting"

"Rooms were clean, decent size, paid extra for harbour views. Paid extra for buffet breakfast, $40 each, it was OK, nothing special. Probably better just eating somewhere else, could have save some money. Would I stay here again, yes, just not pay the extras as we were out all the time and views were not necessary."

"Luxury hotel beautiful historic building Excellent location Great room and amenities Very attentive staff"

"We came for our daughter's birthday and the staff and amenities were so perfect. It really made it a memorable stay and we already want to come back! The horizon club eas worth it in our opinion too!"

"Hot water kept running out. Felt that was not really good enough"

"The room was ok. The buffet breakfast was ok. Not great, a bit unhygienic with jars of peanut butter and Nutella and communal knives in there."

"Instructions/explanations on services privided and room lightning. "
