The place was extremely clean and tidy but the shared bathroom and toilet really needs to be gutted and replaced it’s past the use by date and to can see the quick fix’s.

My room door didn’t shut properly you had to nugg it to be closed .

Tv remote was taped up with electrical tape and the basin in the room only had hot water NO Cold

The hand dryers were loud as I found out at 2am then again at 3am when some one was using it.

Air condition was great in the room and the little bar fridge.

When we went to our room we checked the room out and found one of the bed very unstable I reported this to the chap he was almost at a point of blaming us for breaking the bed . All up we were not happy but having payed online through hotel.com we put up with it for the two nights.

For 10 rooms there was only ONE toilet and one bath. Some of the rooms are twin or double occupieds. Rooms only had bed as furniture. TV watching will crack you neck as you had to do it from your Bed.

Noice from road to next room mornings.. walk in the corridor to continous leaking taps and grinding blower.

Aweful smell in common areas with so called 10 parking slits where 4 been blocked by broken cars adds spice.

Fridge in the room
Bed mattress is comfortable
Fairly clean room.

Reception.. that guy has been in the position for years and treat all like the same guys who walk in with a chick for quick session. He seems to have a tempered mind that all who come to the hotel try to cheat him and get an advantage..

Nastiest place I’ve ever stayed in. I felt incredibly unsafe, definitely do not stay here as a female. The place is on one of the busiest streets, so the cars are very loud even when the windows are shut. One key unlocks both the front door and personal room which is uncomforting. The key barely works in the door. There’s only one bathroom stall and 2 showers, kept in horrible condition. Absolutely do not stay here. They should pay you to stay here and even then, a million $ wouldn’t be enough. Just spend a bit more money to stay somewhere nicer and don’t make the same mistake we did.

DO NOT RECOMEND

This would have to be the worst place i have ever stayed at. majorly run down and over due for refurbishment. Multiple cockroaches in the room. Window was screwed open so couldn't open or close it from road noise. Shared bathroom was a joke 1 toilet and 1 shower for potential entire floor of rooms and cleanliness well lets just say i didn't shower there and only used the toilet if needed to. From the moment you walk into reception you say to yourself what am i in for. $120 +/- for this room and i have stayed at better run down backpackers for less with better and cleaner facilities - Refer photos

TV -Didn't really work, remote unable to read with no instructions ended up just turning off.

Extra bedding/pillows etc as per sign on cupboard door empty

Location: Nothing really handy except for the BP across the road, next to main road so lots of road noise (unable to close window)

The position is unique, being right next to Brisbane River, so that's pleasant, though I had a budget room so no view of river from room. But a river ferry into town is just there, so very handy for town.

There isn't a guaranteed single park for all rooms, but the BP servo across Cooksley St is happy to take some overflow parking apparently (which I used).

In budget twin room on 1st floor the window & thin curtain does not keep out traffic noise from busy road below, but I used earplugs & it was fine.
Aircon worked fine on cool & warm.

I like that there are separate male & female toilets and showers thankfully. I hate unisex facilities!!

The single kitchen on the ground floor needs to be prettied up a bit. And there is only a microwave & air fryer - no stove. Fridge in kitchen was large, clean, & in good condition.

HEALTH WARNING! We wanted just a cheap place to stay for a festival in Brisbane but would probably rather have stayed in the portable loos at the festival. Just pay the extra 50 bucks to get a better unit, You would be better off parking on a street and sleeping in your car, would be safer and cleaner. I can’t fathom how this place is allowed to legally operate? The whole building should be demolished. The man who runs the place has anger issues and has zero people skills. Unnecessarily rude. Rooms look NOTHING like the photos, feel like I should have a health check after stepping into this place. ZERO STARS.

Reluctantly booked due to short notice work trip and no availability elsewhere. The man (assuming owner) who greeted me was polite towards me, but shortly after entering my room I could hear him aggressively shouting outside my room at other guests. This happened another two times with different guests within the space of 4 hours. It didn’t leave me feeling particularly comfortable or safe and due to shared bathroom and kitchen facilities I was quite scared to leave the room. The room key also opens the entry door to building, I don’t know if this means your key can open other room doors, but this thought kept me awake most of the night. The building, room and shared spaces are very outdated and dirty. The pillows are lumpy and yellow, the fitted sheet was so thin I could see all the stains including blood on the mattress. I slept clothed and on top of towels. The fridge was old and smelly. The TV remote was sticky. The road noise was loud and room smelt overpoweringly sweet, but not in a good way. Absolutely NOT worth the rate paid. In hindsight I would have felt more comfortable sleeping in my car. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
