Soho Brisbane Hotel

The shower never managed to keep the same temperature for more than seconds at a time, meaning you’d go from burning hot to freezing cold constantly. The only good thing about this hotel is the location. It is worn and not very cozy. No lift in the building. Room has fridge but it was very noisy and kept making weird sound every day throughout our stay.

Be aware that parking is VERY LIMITED. ( we counted 8 spaces) If you park on the street you will need to pay for parking , unless you park after 10pm and leave before 7am.

Strangest and most unwelcoming hotel I've ever stayed in * Passports were demanded for ID for all guests, drivers license not good enough (have never seen ID required for all guests at any hotel before, let alone not accepting drivers license. Drivers license is good enough for law enforcement, but not this hotel??) * Signs all over the room essentially asking you to not use power (ie, don't spend too long in the shower, turn off lights etc if not needed) + fridge unplugged along with a sign saying only plug in if necessary. If you do choose the plug the fridge in, it makes a loud noise and shakes every 15 mins * Along with the previous point - hotel claims all this to be because they're eco-friendly. This is not the case, as made obvious by the "eco" soaps the supply which are in fact the cheapest you can possibly buy online from the DRC. If they were truly concerned about the environment they'd be purchasing locally. Everything in this hotel is based on being as cheap for the owner as possible * There were ants on the glassware * Bed is on wheels that can't be locked so impossible to sit up in bed, because if you lean back on the wall the entire bed rolls forward * Air con is extremely loud and vibrates the entire room * Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in the rooms around you/hallway * Had a balcony but it was impossible to unlock the door - looking at other reviews you have to request staff to open the balcony door for you * Restaurant downstairs was closed for the entire stay * If you're not lucky enough to get one of the few car parks available behind the hotel, I'm not sure I'd trust the safety of parking on the street as the hotel is directly across from a dodgy park with multiple homeless visibly hanging around Again, the strangest and most uncomfortable hotel I've ever stayed in. Owner obviously shouldn't be in this business as has no interest in making this a comfortable stay for guests.
