We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The staff made you feel right at home from the moment we arrived to when we left. Big shout out to Murray for the care and chats. The homely, luxurious and spacious rooms and main building were perfect for our weekend away together, and walkable to New Farm, Valley Shopping, the river and DBC as well as the Howard Smith Wharves precinct. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

This hotel should definitely not have 5 stars. Their service is atrocious. We arrived at 5p and there was no one at the hotel. No one to check us in, no one to help with bags. The hallways and walkway to our room was dark. We felt like we were entering an anondones house. The rooftop that was prominently displayed in the photo was closed. In short the entire experience was extremely disappointing.

We had just such a lovely stay sadly only for one night at this gem of a hotel. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful from start to finish. The food is amazing, we dined there in the evening. Go for the breakfast which was included in our stay, it’s fantastic! You may feel you’re out of the city but everything is much near than you think. Great rooftop bar to watch the sunset to end the day!

4/10

Hotel is fine, but honestly felt like quite a let down given my expectations from other reviews. The location is nice but other than that it felt quite basic. Also, no real facilities and we were put in a room in a separate building which was presented as an 'upgrade' to a suite but instead felt detached from the hotel. I was looking for a nice hotel stay and it felt a bit more like an airbnb where you couldn't even eat the snacks left out for you because it's actually the minibar. Sort of the worst of both worlds. Terrible water pressure for the shower and mould on the ceiling of the room.

We liked the fact that it was close to cafes and restaurants in New Farm. Felt the room was too dark and the bathroom / toilet had no door , only a shower curtain separating the bed from the bathroom/toilet . No privacy !

Things didn’t work and we had a room that stunk of sewerage, complained but nothing was done about it. I thought l,d booked a suite but it was a very very small room, never stay here again!

I enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: 1. I do not understand why you don't have the larger Nespresso machine which uses the larger capsules and can provide a larger cup of coffee 2. the coffee capsules were not topped up each day 3. Water pressure in shower was poor

This is a quaint hotel close to the bustling Howard Smith Wharf area with many dining and entertainment options as well as the very handy Brisbane ferry service to easily transport you to South Bank, another get spot to see while there. The only issue is the rooms can be noisy with traffic and people chatting in the restaurant. The staff will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure you have anything you need to make your stay comfortable.
