Top Howard Smith Wharves Hotel Reviews

Stamford Plaza Brisbane

8/10 Good

"We booked a room with two double beds; we DID NOT get a room with 2 double beds because ALL of those rooms had one of the beds JAMMED AGAINST THE CLOSET DOORS!!!! When we examined the first room, we were told by staff that all two double bed rooms had the same layout, which was INSANE!!!! We settled for a room with 2 twin beds. This hotel is in a nice location but is showing it's age as far as decor is concerned. This breakfast buffet was good, and it was nice eat on the patio facing the river. Birds like to share your meal, so don't leave the table unattended, although staff were very vigilant chasing them away."
