South Brisbane Hotels with Bars

Fantastic location. Service was amazing, with shout out to staff - Exec Chef James, F&B Operations Manager, Gareth, Christine from the Signature Restaurant just to name a few who made our stay amazing and went the extra mile. In fact all the staff we met were really helpful, attentive and happy. Recommend the upstairs pool, the terrace bar for cocktails. Book it, a perfect escape…leave the kids at home.

Check in with very helpful staff member. Room spacious with comfy beds and bedding. Location is perfect right in heart of Southbank with cafes and restaurants everywhere. Double glazing on windows kept out train noise pretty . (Train line runs near hotel) and despite central location the rooms are very quiet. The rooms could do with a refresh as some furniture is a bit scuffed and shabby but did not interfere in comfort of our stay.

We had to find alternative accommodation at short notice with some difficult personal requirements. The staff at rydges southbank assisted greatly with answering multiple phone calls beforehand to assist. Although not guaranteed, we were given the impression that arriving early at 12 wouldn't have been a problem but didn't get our suites until 2:10 as this has happened to us before elsewhere and advertised check in is 2 we took this as a learning experience check in is 2 plan to be at hotels at 2. We have two king suites on the same floor. This was closest we could figure to adjoining rooms in Brisbane on short notice, which, as already stated, Rydges staff helped organise prior to booking. Both king suites are of good size with a bedroom and separate lounge area and large TV of which both allow use of personal streaming services from phone or laptop there are plenty of charging points and all the usual mini bar tea coffee toiletries fridge and microwave. King size beds are comfortable, although the sheets seem a little small, so I trash them the A/C in one suite is a little too good, and maintenance have turned off as cold bathrooms look recently done with bath and separate shower with good hot water. There is an app for nearly everything here, including room service and digital room keys. Although swipe cards seem more reliable on door locks, the app itself works well and has a surprising amount of things included. Room service always arrives at requested time (on app) and appears to be the same price as eating in Cafe downstairs with only a $4 tray charge added. All food has been great and reasonable priced for hotel food. The cafe downstairs has the same menu with bar and a good range of drinks. The staff is great and always friendly, and I seem happy to be at work. There is a very well equipped gym and large spa separate to the pool area, which so far our stay has been a little cool to use. Best of all, our suites are fully serviced and super clean and restocked daily, which extra amenities and services can also be requested via the app.

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!
