At the end of our vacation around Australia we had tired of spendy hotels with poor prepay internet, small rooms, and spendy breakfasts. We happened upon a hotel that is in a upscale area, but is budget priced. The River Cat transportation to downtown Brisbane or lush parks was nearby or take a city bus that arrives at the front...

There was an initial problem with my booking, but management made a sincere effort to fix it and ensure that I was happy which impressed me. Hotel is clean, comfortable, in a great location and good value for money. I'd be happy to stay again in the future. More

My friends and I were staying here after a long plane ride, when we booked in here, and we got the most warming welcome by a young gentleman of about 14, who promptly did his best to book us in, (with a little bit of help from dad ; )), then showed us to our room. The room was perfect... More

I'm writing this on the free internet at the Kingsford. This is a great spot. Close to everything, bus stop outside the door and Downtown in 5 minutes. The beds are comfortable beds, rooms have big screen TVs and a balcony overlooking the river. Breakfast is pretty good and you can eat as much as you want! We found the... More

The first thing we noticed was the funky smell. Could have been mistaken for a home for the elderly with all the hand rails and the strong urine smell in the male toilets. The decor was probably deemed to be modern in the 1950's. The male toilets had a strong urine smell. My advice is to keep looking, not worth... More

We have to apologise concerning this complaint about the gents toilet, which was perfectly justified. Our managers have always been hands-on family people, used to running homes of their own, and leading by example. The managers on this occasion were new and on probation, and had been taken to task about this very matter a few days previously. Before we... More

After a long day at the hospital with my elderly Mum, I found accomodation at the KingsfordmRiverside Inn. Despite the very late hour, we were welcomed and helped inside and given a groundfloor room with tiolets across the hall with facilities that Mum found very helpful. We extended our stay for a late checkout after a free breakfast upstairs. Thanks... More

I have been staying at Riverside Inn during last August (almost a week) and September (another week) of 2011. It is a clean and comfortable place managed by kind staff. Excellent wi-fi internet connection, good breakfast and well located if you want to walk along the river bank park or simply take a bus to downtown Brisbane. Rooms are clean... More
