Hotels near Kings Park in Brisbane

Convenient location in Brisbane city. Reception provided great service, was polite and welcoming. We had a warm welcome and a quick, easy and fuss-free check in process. Thank you Vania! (Hope I got her name right) Amazing view from the Sky Lounge located on the 36th floor. However the apartment was slightly dirty. We put up the sign to make up our room but it was not made at all, even when the housekeeping staff was cleaning the room next to ours when we left. We left the hotel to go out in the morning and when we returned at night the ”make up the room” sign was still on our door and the room was exactly as we left it when we went out. Room wasn't made, toiletries weren't replenished.

We stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise that was leaving from the International Cruise Terminal. The main reason we chose this hotel was its close proximity to Roma Street Station as we caught the train from the airport. While it is close to the train station it is located at the top of a reasonable hill and it took a bit of effort to navigate the way to the top, apart from the effort. Several escalators/lifts and then a steep path with no real directions on which way to go. I thought I would be able to see the hotel to give me an idea which way but had to resort to Google Maps to find the way. Unfortunately we were on an early flight into Brisbane so as it was 09:30AM I was not expecting our room to be ready but just needed to store our bags so we good do some exploring. As expected, our room was not ready but the guy behind the counter checked me in, stored our bags and advised that the hotel was busy and our room would not be ready until about 02:00PM. No worries we will be back. We arrived back at 01:00PM and our room was still not ready and waited in the foyer till 02:00PM as previously discussed. Reception gave me our keys and we proceeded to our room on Level 1, or so I thought……..room card would not let me use the lift. Back to reception to have the card re-coded. On entry to our room, it was reasonably spacious and looked clean and reasonably comfortable. Décor a bit dated, but functional. We had a rather large balcony but we could not use it as there was no furniture so the balcony was wasted. Bathroom was small but functional, bit dated but appeared clean. It was only after we used the toilet several times that we noticed water on the floor. We ignored it for quite a while as we thought we had spilt water on the floor but it was not till the next morning that I realised it was coming from under the toilet. I reported it to reception on checkout. As we were tired from our early start we chose to order room service. While we knew how much it was going to cost it was very expensive. Two hamburgers and chips over $70. A bit steep, but as we were so tired we paid so we did not have to go out. The hamburgers were good by the way, but still way too expensive. Overall, this hotel was OK, but the room was supposed to be a superior room. OK. I would hate to be in a Standard Room………..as the room was pretty average for a Superior. After reading some of the other reviews the price we paid was fair and the location is good, just not when you have to push two big suitcases that we were taking on a cruise up the hill from the station. PS. It cost us $73 in the taxi to get to the Cruise Terminal.

This hotel is just a 5 min walk to the Queen Street Mall and also very close to the Treasury ******. I arrived at about 2:00pm (the set check inn time), but a large tour group was also trying to check inn. So I let my luggage and came back latter. My room was located on Level 12, and at the back of the building. As the hotel is opposite a construction site, it was wise to have a room facing the back of this building. The view is nothing exceptional - just a small courtyard with taller buildings surrounding the hotel. The room was very spacious with a comfortable sofa-chair and lamp to view the TV (from a distance). The internet was hit and miss. There are two connections. One free with lower internet speeds and another network for $5 with higher speeds. I was given access to the higher speed network for free when visiting the reception for voucher. Some times the internet connection was exceptional but often it dropped out and you have to reconnect several times. The bathroom was very modern and shower was fulled enclosed with glass door, rather than a shower curtain. However, note there are two issues with the bathroom. The toilet is not accustomed too much paper, and was often blocked. (fortunately there is bathroom brush provided to unblock the toilet). Secondly, there seems to be some problem with the drain under the sink, that was letting water in to the bathroom floor. Hap to mop up the wet floors, using towels, which I put over the drain. Despite these problems, I would still recommend this hotel. It represents good value for money in a prime location.

Recently stayed in President Brookes' double bed room for two nights. I was very happy with the stay. The kitchen has a fully equipped kitchen, dining table and balcony, which offers views of the city. Everything was clean, well kept, the reception staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was a bit tight but no big problem. I would definitely stay again.

A nice modern room with all the amenities to go with it. Comfortable, clean, amazing shower and views, amazing staff and ample parking though not free. Near to public transportation, coffee shop on the ground floor and abundant retail shops nearby.

Recommend if you are looking for a clean and quality place to stay and are a budget traveller. This yha has a very high standard compared to others. It is more like a youth hotel with bunk beds rather than a backpackers place. You also meet travellers of all ages, families and youth groups around the place. The rooms are super tidy and serviced daily, spacious luggage lockers that fit a large suitcase (fantastic!) and are light filled with aircon or windows to be opened. The kitchen is very big, nice rooftop terrace with city views and pool area. Tv lounge and soon it’s own co working hub which I think is a great addition to the concept. Free luggage storage for guests and friendly and helpful staff.

Jennifer on reception was hugely helpful; made our stay very easy and smooth after I drove for five hours and my family flew for 24 to get to Brisbane! Apartment was good to prepare easy meals in (Kidman Suite).

An older Sofitel compared to some others I stay at as a an Accor Platinum member but my experiences have all been quite postive when I stay here. Staff as usual were very friendly and helpful which is what brings me back to Accot hotels, and the fact my room is almost always ready early. Quite a large hotel with a few different options for food and drinks. The breakfast is quite good, alot of options and plenty of room to sit and relax. The gym is on the smallish side but nice pool and amenities. My King room was quite dated badly in need of a renovation but its quite big and the bed was comfortable. Parking can be a bit difficult at times. The location is very convenient if you are coming by train and its only 5 minutes walk into the CBD. Overall a good hotel and experience.

A very comfortable hotel, not luxurious but very delicate and clean. recommend! It's across a small park from the city hall and it takes less than ten minutes to walk there. The location is very good and it's quiet to sleep in. If your English is not good, you can still communicate by email. You can pick up the keys by yourself. It is very simple. If you arrive at the store after 8pm, you need to contact them by email and give them your passport and credit card photos. They will help you check in in advance. They can rent it for more than 50 Australian dollars at the airport. Walk up a small corridor. There is a small iron box on the wall next to the door. Enter the password and you can get the key. There is a free bus at the door, but it is not needed at all. It is not far from any scenic spots. There are also free boats in this city. At night You can watch the night view, walk around the river, and stop at various places on both sides. On Monday morning, you can see trucks providing food, laundry, and bathing for homeless people at the door. Four times a week, you can also see this kind of charity in the park down the slope at night. Activity is another organization!

There were multiple issues throughout our stay and my partner and I left early to go to another hotel. I am aware that Punthill are currently undergoing renovations, and I appreciate the challenges associated with this. However, I do feel that our experience was unacceptable. Our allocated apartment smelt strongly of fresh paint, had paint splatters on the carpet, no cupboard, and a loud sound when the toilet was flushed. We requested to move to another apartment, which was granted. We spent one night in that subsequent apartment, and were woken at 6am to tradespeople sanding the wall in the room next to us. Punthill staff then asked us to move apartments, because the apartment that they had shifted us into was to be painted over the weekend. In our third apartment, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes from the previous guests. We were kept up until almost 2am by a loud event in the apartment next to us, and threatened by one of those guests when we asked them to quieten down. We had to call the afterhours Punthill number to request security attendance. We were fed up by this point and switched to another hotel. We won’t stay at Punthill again.
