Top Old Windmill & Observatory Hotel Reviews

Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely building with lots of character, apartment well set up for our family of 5. Great location for CBD and Southbank"

Avani Living Queen’s Wharf Residences

8/10 Good

"Second time staying here, the location is perfect for wandering around Brisbane. Not so good was the drain in the shower was blocked so couldn't shower in morning and no maintence crew available till after we left. No solution offered so just left."

Royal On The Park

8/10 Good

"We appreciated the tea/coffee making equipment and small bottles of milk for an easy quick cuppa. the fridge was appreciated for keeping drinking water cold. The staff were friendly and helpful, The rooms were a good size for 4 persons in each room. The location was ideal for us travelling with families. Close to city centre, especially eateries. Easy walking to the Southbank and bridges and ferries. We as a group from 3 years old to 70 years old loved being across the road from the City Botanic Gardens, a cool oasis, which we visited to walk around and children loved the playground. A special surprise was the wildlife in the gardens - water dragons, ibis, turtle, eel, tadpoles, small fish and fruit bats delighted us all with the grandchildren actively searching for creatures!"

Amora Hotel Brisbane

8/10 Good

"We loved the rooms, the spacious layout, comfortable beds and the location. Everything that mattered most to us was excellent, and we had a great stay overall! The only downside for us was the parking, as we have a larger vehicle and found the height restrictions a bit challenging. Also, we wouldn’t recommend the in-room dining, as the food was expensive for what you get, and there was an additional room delivery charge. Our ice cream came with desert was too icy ..For the price, we didn’t feel it was worth it and would recommend using Uber Eats instead. Other than those two things, everything else was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay! 😊"
