Top Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Jephson Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and a breeze in and out. Great location for the footy at Suncorp just a 5 min walk then on the train."

Rocklea International Motel

4/10 Poor

"The place is a bit difficult to find on maps and tricky when you are not from the area. I found it very loud due to its proximity to the roads and for some reason lots of trucks throughout the night.Maybe servicing Rocklea markets nearby or just city life.Room was tidy and comfortable though."

Amora Hotel Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and I liked the room layout and the staff were great. At $550 a night I don’t think water in the room is too much to ask for along with a safe kettle and tea bags of a quality above floor sweepings and definitely not instant coffee! There were negatives but not the hotel’s fault. We didn’t realise it was a sporting event in Brisbane over the weekend that we were there, Magic Rounds?This meant that the hotel was MUCH more expensive, 3x the regular rate and an utter Bogan fest’. I had assumed that this was an Australian stereotype but they were out in force. Neanderthals with no shoes, shocking hair cuts, creepy moustaches and no social etiquette whatsoever. Wandering the corridors barefoot with a beer bottle in one hand and a phone in the other shouting loudly into it. Doors being slammed constantly, loud in the corridors and rooms and the whole place smelled of eau de McDonalds/KFC with the litter left outside the rooms a testament to its occupants. God forbid they got in a lift with you, there are weight limits in lifts for a reason. I really feel for the staff, and the housekeeping in particular, who had to deal with the mentally challenged. Would I stay again? Probably. Would I visit Brisbane during Magic Rounds again? Has Hell Frozen over yet?"
