I checked into this hotel in rainy January and the manager, Bryant was very helpful and showed me to my room. I was pleasantly surprised how close it was to Chinatown and the CBD. They are both only a walk away and considering I only paid $89 for the room I thought it was very good value. I had a... More

Fairly old building but not bad air con is cold and the showers are hot. Yes the bathroom sink is daggy and the room fridge is rusty but you get clean towels each day. Stayed for 3 nights to be close to RBWH and we walked everywhere. Served a purpose probably not going to be my first choise next trip. More

3 nights was far too long. 3 minutes would be long enough. Depressing rooms, could hear everyone else, terrible location. Even the receptionist asked why we were staying there cos it's terrible! Avoid like the plague! I've stayed in far better hostels/backpackers! More

Unfortunately I booked this motel based on the internet advertising, being close to the RBH, and it was very affordable. We stayed in unit 17 - the airconditioning leaked all over the floor, the shower waste overflowed - no problem the staff unblocked it with Drano, gave us an extra towel to mop up the water that leaked everywhere. The... More

My partner and I were in need of a place to stay urgently and decided to try our luck with a "budget" motel in Brisbane. After looking at several internet adds for motels in various locations we agree'd that City Palms motel was the best value for money. When we arrived we almost laughed as the photo's on the internet... More

My wife and I stayed here, and were presented with the dirtiest ever accommodation we have ever experienced. The walls are so dirty that the grime is running down. The refrigerator has never been moved since it was installed, hence the muck beside and behind it. The stove top was grubby, and the microwave was swimming in a mess. The... More

This place stinks, the reception smells like an ashtray. Very arrogant staff. Very noisy place, you can hear the next room door banging during the night. The TV was almost on the ceiling, ended up with a sore neck watching. The room was very cramp and the kitchen very small. Didn't like anything about the place and will not go... More

The worst place i have ever stayed, compared to 3rd world hotels it was worse. The room was a box, the floor was sinking and not level. A sewer pipe ran out of the wall and into the floor under the bed. The bed was old and very ratty i brought new sheets just to sleep on. The tv on... More

The room was grubby and smelly and the out door area smelt of urine. It is a noisy location and I felt unsafe. I checked out as soon as I found another room in a different hotel. More
