I like the Medina. I've stayed several times over the past 10 years. It's not state of the art but the one-bed rooms with balconies and views over the Brisbane river are great. 24hr internet is $25 which I think is expensive and the bar area has very little ambience. But for location (close-ish to Fortitude Valley) and the large... more

I've stayed here a number of times and always find the extremely kind staff fabulous. The views from rooms overlooking the river are the best in Brisbane. The rooms have always been clean. The restaurant serves great food. Bravo to the Medina I will definately stay again more

I stayed three nights for a conference which was at Brisbane Convention Centre. It is a 3km walk away, or a River Cat ride, or taxi of course. I am sure there are places to stay much closer, so if being close to the Convention centre is a priority, don;t stay here. It is reasonably close to Fortitude Valley and... more

Stayed here 1 night on trip to Brisvegas. The intersection to turn into the street is a bit of a deathtrap - but survive that and you may get a decent night sleep if you are on a higher level. I found the walls thin (there was a party going on down the hall with some bare chested guys with... more

Stayed at this hotel in early March and have never had so much difficulty with any hotel. Trouble started with trying to make a reservation, they claim to beat any advertised price when you book with them directly, so that I attempted to do, armed with my computer I checked out all available prices online then gave them a call!... more

We stayed for just over two weeks in the Medina Executive during February and March 2009 while my husband was working at a nearby university, which had arranged our accommodation. Our flight arrived at 6 a.m. so we had taken a room from the previous day in order to be able to check in immediately. Check-in was quick and efficient... more

Checked into room for a 3 night stay - found newspaper dated over a month ago under the settee and a t-shirt behind the chair. Hall floor had the same party confetti on it each day we walked past. Brought these cleaning issues to attention of managment, they waived the car parking charges. Hotel is close by to Eagle Pier... more

This was our base for working in and exploring Brisbane and southern Queensland. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to knowledge about the city as well as general hotel matters. Lucky enough to have a suite looking down the river, which was fantastic to wake up to every morning. Thought the road noise (the suites are... more

We stayed for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. The second bedroom was upstairs, which our children loved! The apartment was nicely appointed with a view of some of the city. Washer and Dryer was in the apt. which was convenient. The Medina is located at the base of the Story Bridge so it is only a short walk,... more
