Willawong Hotels & Accommodations

I stayed here for 6 nights for a training course nearby. I was impressed overall. Room was clean, wifi was very fast with a strong signal and the room relatively was quiet, despite being near a busy main road. Rooms included a pod coffee machine too, with coffee pods free of charge from reception. Walking distance from Rocklea railway station (which is temporarily closed but has stationlink buses to to the next station up the line). Only minor quibble was that reception was sometimes closed earlier than the published hours. I would happily stay here again.

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!

Good location and beautiful view. With everything like microwave knives forks spoons plates cups pans pots in the kitchen and washing machine dryer iron hangers. Better offer the room clean service everyday. 8 minutes walk to the city, 1 min walk to the nearest Woolworths, 10 minutes walk across the bridge next to the hotel to the library of Queensland, art gallery, gallery, museum, Brisbane sign, south bank and so on

Travelling to BNE every 15 days and I used to stay in the CDB, even when attending some conferences in BCEC. Due to a last minute booking, I ended-up at the Novotel few months ago, and this place is officially my new HOME when in town. Clean and tidy very modern quiet rooms, 100m walk from exhibitions halls (thanks to a shortcut at the back), with a 24/7 accessible parking (you can get in and out easily), this place is super convenient. You are just next door to all what Southbank has to offer and a short walk distance (or scooter ride) to the CDB (pedestrian bridge over the river) Staff are young and efficient, smiling all day. ACCOR Motto btw. Last but no least, you stay far from the noisy students/backpackers nightlife + trains / highway of downtown. After all, even if you are in Bris-Vegas, you came here for a rest!

Stayed here for 7 nights at the beginning of April. Check in was quick and although we requested a quiet room, we were sadly given a room that faced onto a road and the helipad of the children’s hospital. So, the room was rather noisy from the traffic and from helicopter landing and taking off at night. Even with ear plugs on I could still hear the traffic. Room: Room 714 was very clean, it seems the Australian standards of cleanliness is much higher and better than at our previous Marriott stays in Cardiff, Wales and in Edinburgh, Scotland. Housekeeping at this hotel is very thorough at cleaning, as we didn’t feel any dust on the surfaces. My partner is blind and the first thing he does is touch the surfaces to get to know the layout of the room and he was impressed that tables, chairs & walls didn’t feel dusty. The housekeeping ladies always provided us with fresh towels and 2 bottles of water daily, as well as change the bed linen when requested. These ladies (day as well as evening housekeeping) are all lovely and friendly, requests for extra toilet paper, tissues, even slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste were promptly supplied with a smile. The housekeeping team at this hotel should be commended for keeping rooms/bathroom clean to a high standard. Reception: The ladies at reception Jess and other lady (who doesn’t wear a name badge) are efficient when checking people in however, they were not so friendly once you’ve checked in, they both came across as cold, sourpusses. Every day we went past reception and these 2 ladies never smiled or said hello. Once we initiated a hello and got a forced response. The male reception staff at night and on the days when the ladies were off are much better as they always greeted people as they walked past reception. Location: This hotel is perfectly located as it is close to all the restaurants in the Southbank and there’s lots to choose from. It is also about 2 mins walk to Goodwill bridge which connects to the Botanical Gardens. From this hotel everything is within walking distance, we walked to Queen Street shopping mall daily and it took us about 10 mins via Southbank parklands and crossing the bridge. We are not super fast walkers but we found everything in close proximity to this hotel. We will definitely stay at this hotel again when we return to Australia next year.

The room decoration is generally average, not like a five-star hotel, but a bit like a newly opened express hotel in China. The so-called river view rooms only see a little bit diagonally. The elevator is also inconvenient. You have to swipe your card to get to your own floor. The reservation of two rooms by a travel companion was ignored even if they were arranged on the first floor. They are on different floors several floors apart. It is very inconvenient to go through the door. The only advantage is that the hotel's location is relatively central. It's in a pedestrian street, so it's quite lively even if you come back late at night, and it's relatively safe. The breakfast room has the same variety every day.

The facilities of this hotel are relatively new, which makes people feel at ease. The key point is that they also provide this kind of travel size, and the quality of this type of travel size is quite high. Now there are not many hotels with such sincerity. The hotel provides bottled water which is also a plus. The water temperature of the infinity pool is not bad, and I didn't expect it to be quite beautiful when I took a photo at night. Parking here is a bit troublesome, and you may have to choose valet parking. It seems to be 50 dollars a night. We parked next to us and were charged 72 dollars. My heart is bleeding. Breakfast is à la carte, which may not be liked by Chinese stomachs, so it’s no problem to feel the Australian brunch culture. By the way, the extra bed is a blanket, so be careful with allergies. Finally, I would like to complain, the front desk here is very unreliable. I didn’t find out our order, so I just said that the platform was cancelled, but I found out later. After more than an hour of tossing, I only offered half price for breakfast, not even a room. Give an upgrade, and go home to find that the breakfast has been charged at full price, which makes people angry. It is recommended to check out and let the bill be released before leaving to avoid arbitrary charges!

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.

We unfortunately didn’t stay, as Covid lockdowns and restrictions hit again! Was coming for the cricket and as unsure if we would be allowed in or out of the state phoned the property and spoke with Nicole who was so very helpful. Nicole gave us up to nearly day of arrival to cancel free of charge....and unfortunately we have just done so...we will definitely stay next time because of her helpful attitude..... The tip here is though, always book directly with the property, so they don’t lose commission to overseas companies...and you get flexibility to cancel or change if necessary

We stayed here for 8 days as a family of 4. 2 adults and 2 children. BE AWARE..... These are not 2 bedroom apartments. There are no pictures on the website and when you book, there was no mention of what the actuall room setup is. We found out our 2 bedroom apartment is actually 2 individual rooms that they turn into a apartment by a connecting hallway. 1 room was a 1 bedroom apartment, with 1 small 2 seater couch, small living area, table and chairs, bathroom and only just a kitchen. The other room is a room with large bed, kitchen area in same room and bathroom. We had to keep both doors open all the times to make like an apartment. Both these doors open to a cold tiled long hallway.This meant the door was in the way of one of the kitchens the whole trip. We did not feel comfortable with the children sleeping in one room by themselves as the rooms werent close to each other. For family of 4 spending a fair bit of time in the apartment in the evening, the small 2 seater couch and small lounge area was not sufficient for us to be together in the one area. Rooms were serviced daily. Both rooms had kitchens, but were lacking enough utensils etc for a family of 4, as these are obviously not used for a family. So be careful when booking this location if you are looking for an apartment for a family. I now know why there is no photos and no mention of what the actual setup is when you book. The description on the website for the 2 bedroom apartment is not what it is. If i had of known what we were actually booking, we would not have stayed at this location. On checking in, i was told that i had a great deal. I now see why it is expensive as you are pretty much booking out 2 different rooms to get 1 2 bed apartment. Who needs 2 average kitchens??? Location is pretty good. just a short walk to southbank.
