Andrew Australia

The location was awesome, very close to the best activities in Brisbane. Walked on the new farm river walk, botanical gardens and south bank. Had cocktails in the fabulous roof top bar and then a meal with delicious food. Service was excellent and friendly, overall great experience for couples retreat. The room was clean and very well equipped. It was nice to have all amenities close by.

Michael Australia

Great location in the heart of the Fortitude Valley. Close to Howard Smith Wharves and all that the 'Valley' has to offer for shopping and food/culture. Comfortable rooms, great air-conditioning, comfortable bed and lovely toiletries. Lovely little sun-room and porch. Can feel like you're miles away rather than in the heart of a city!

Bryan Australia

Katharina Germany

Greta food, staff, location and ambiance - quiet understated class and an excellent vibe.

Jane Australia

We found the staff to be very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was clean, stylish and comfortable. The bar and restaurant were delightful and the breakfast which was included in our deal was amazing. I would have happily stayed longer and we will definitely return.
