3-Star Hotels in Queensland, Australia

It's really a surprise in Brisbane,good location with nice service and clean environment,highly recommend

The room was very clean, which was great. I had to leave early in the morning this time, so I didn't get to have breakfast. As a solo female traveler, having the toilets and showers on the same floor as the men made me feel a little uneasy. In particular, I was concerned about the large gap at the bottom of the shower room door, making it visible from the outside. I thought it was great that it was close to the station, but since the train service was infrequent, I ended up taking a taxi. (I wish I had looked into that beforehand.)

The hotel's location is fantastic; you just walk downstairs and cross the road to the beach. The hygiene is decent, and the bedding is clean. The building facilities are a bit old, but getting a sea-view room at this price point is a great deal.

I recently stayed at Hides Hotel during a trip to Cairns and was pleasantly surprised by the value and charm this heritage-style hotel offers. The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of the Esplanade, night markets, Reef Fleet Terminal, and plenty of restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re heading out for a reef tour or just exploring the local area, Hides is a super convenient base. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed, including air-conditioning (a must in Cairns!), a small fridge, and free Wi-Fi. The building itself has an old-school character that’s a bit different from your typical chain hotels, which I actually really liked—it feels like you’re staying somewhere with history. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, happy to give recommendations and assist with bookings. There’s also a lovely wide veranda on the upper level, which is a great spot to relax in the evening and take in the atmosphere of the city. Only downside was that the hotel is a bit dated in places, and depending on the room you’re in, you might hear a bit of street noise—but that’s to be expected in a central location like this. Overall, Hides Hotel is a great choice for budget-conscious travelers who want clean, central, no-fuss accommodation with character. I’d definitely consider staying again.

The room wasn't big, and the facilities were pretty standard. Breakfast was adequate. When we arrived from within the country, Google Maps led us along the car lane, which was quite dangerous. We later discovered there's a dedicated pedestrian path. At nearly $400 a night, it definitely wasn't good value for money!

Due to slow drainage in the bathroom that wasn't fixed, the hotel moved us to an upstairs room. It was a huge improvement from the previous one; the room and bathroom were spacious and clean, both with large windows that opened, offering a great view.

Location is not too bad. Situated a 15 minute walk away from the waters and main restaurant area. Situated on a main road but quiet at night. They let us put down our luggage when we couldn’t check in yet and leave it there after we’d checked out and waited for our flight. The young female receptionist was very helpful and nice.

I was booking at trip.com, but I was likely to be pulled down by a bank card without confirming at check-in. When I told you that I had already finished payment many times, I finally went to the back room to confirm. There is also a casino on the first floor and it is noisy with the explosion until midnight. Although it was due to heavy rain, the floor of the room was soaked and all the bags were wet.

I’d give a solid 9.5/10 to this hostel. Everything is great, staff is amazing - very friendly and welcoming, everyday there is an event and they are always nice, location is perfect - walking distance to all major points in the city and very close to public transports (both greyhound busses stop and train station for the airport). Guests are great too and this is a very social hostel - but fortunately not a party one. Perfect to make new friends but also to get some good sleep in a quiet place. Toilets in the rooms are a bit old and the cleanliness is not excellent but still good. Highly recommended if you want to spend some good time in Brisbane in great social hostel.

Super standard aparthotel located close to Central Station. Free luggage storage was helpful. There's a cafe downstairs but looking just okay.  I only stayed one night but somehow they put ten black tea bags and ten coffee bags in my room ... I took it as the hotel's generosity
