CENTRAL HILLSIDE (HOTEL ROOM)

Our Hotel Style room (609) had a comfortable king-sized bed, and a small balcony overlooking Mater Hospital. Amenities included jug, toaster, microwave, fridge, tea, coffee, milk, crockery & cutlery for 3 people, tea towel, iron & ironing board (soap, shampoo & conditioner in bathroom). Free Wi-Fi was simple to use, and worked well. Aircon worked well. Road noise wasn't terrible. Secure carparking under the apartments, but our car didn't fit into the height restriction. There were 6-8 above-ground carparks available (not secured) so we parked there (reception gives you a permit to put on the dash). We had a pleasant stay, and would return. Walking distance to Southbank.

Dissapointed , we stayed for my husbands admission to the hospital. The room 605 was in need of a refurbishment. We have twice before in different appartments on the 8 th floor and the 4 th floor. This was missing several things that the other appartments had. We were given three pillows they were two soft and I had to request another pillow. I went looking for a washing machine and dryer and was told not in this unit. Floor 6 laundry was out of action and was directed to floor 5 or floor 1 . The bath was high to get into and for someone with a back operation it was not good enough. Then the television , we had an old remote that the numbers were worn off . When I rang for assistance was told it was not a smart tv . It was not the correct remote for the television. Netflix is advertised as part of the accomodation. There was no way my husband could watch Netflix. The cooking utensils were terrible. We cooked a roast in a baking dish which was starting to peel off. Two pans one without a lid the other one had a lid which was not correct. The room phone to ring reception did not work. The book in the room has not been updated. The view was very good but the balcony was very small.

Nothing fancy but good location, clean and a comfortable bed (walk to the Mater Hospital, Gabba, South Bank , CBD or Suncorp), free car parking. Stayed here twice in different rooms, both similar layouts with small balcony. Reception staff friendly
