Amora Hotel Brisbane
This hotel was very luxurious for the price. The room has great interior and was very clean which is very important to me. It is a bit further from everything but if you're spending more time in the hotel, then it is worth it.

Ibis Styles Brisbane Elizabeth Street
Overall the place was okay but very noisy. I also accidentally booked my room for the wrong weekend, they wouldn’t even consider changing the date. I understand I didn’t purchase a flexible room; however, I wasn’t asking for a credit. It left very poor taste in my mouth and I wouldn’t use them again ...

Royal On The Park
The noise at this hotel is terrible. 2nd visit, both times awful. Rooms are adequate, location is great. Don't get room 126. Opposite service room and busy all night.

Very disappointed was a mention before. Very small room poor lighting and ventilation conditions. The bathroom disgusting condition full of mold in the shower. Definitely not recommend.
