Brisbane hotels near State Library of Queensland

Pros: The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room service food was amazing. The location was excellent.

Pros: Location plus parking

Cons: Small room no real sitting area for 2 people in the room

Pros: The staff were terrific. Always helpful and very prompt with any requests

Cons: I stayed in a Petrie room.. Whilst it was comfortable it was extremely small..

Pros: I always love staying at Gambaro’s. The hotel is consistently top notch in all aspects! I was super impressed with my upgrade!

Pros: Love this boutique property. Great location for city, Suncorp, Paddington, Southbank and The Barracks. The front rooms with balcony overlooking Caxton Street are lovely. Double doors and double glazing so no street noise. Super comfortable bed. Very clean and quiet.

Cons: I have walking difficulties and the first room I was assigned (101) was up a flight of stairs (after you got out of the lift). I went back (with my suitcase) and said ‘no’. I was given another room and before leaving the desk I said ‘ I have booked a Petrie Room with balcony’. I was told I had been assigned a room better than that. Well 205 was like a closet overlooking rusty roofs and an alleyway. I went back to the desk (with my suitcase - I have ambulatory issues!) and said ‘Nope’ then I was finally assigned a room the same as the one I had the last time I stayed. 207. I love this place but if you care about which type of room you stay in check what you book and what you get.

Pros: I love the luxurios feel of the place and the buffet

Cons: It is so overpriced

Cons: I booked two rooms and requested they be adjoining, as travelling with a baby and my mother. I received a confirmation that this was accepted. Upon checkin we were advised that our rooms were on different floors. I advised that I had received confirmation so the reception staff went to check. Reception advised that I had booked a luxury room and only the standard rooms were adjoining. I advised that I needed adjoining and after what seemed like a hassle the request was accommodated. There was no offer of a refund of money for the rooms. Luxury was city views, with better amenities, standard was a carpark! I then asked how would I be compensated and the Duty Manager offered breakfast on the Monday. I advised that we were leaving the hotel early but was not offered anything else. I discussed this with my husband and he was not happy so I approached Reception again. One staff member looked me up and down and had a smirk on his face. I work in Hospitality so I know what he was thinking! I asked for a refund of money but was refused and all that could be offered was breakfast. I would have been better off booking an apartment for less than this Hotel. Have stayed at the Sofitel many times over the years but will not be back after this disappointing stay. Staff were arrogant, Duty Manager out of his league.

Pros: The location right on the doorsteps to the cbd with escalator and lift access so you don't have to walk up edward street. The restaraunt, bar, valet parking, room and amenities were second to none, they even have a pillow menu. Anything we called down for was no trouble to provide.
