“Don't Bother”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

I know it's close to Bris Airport and it is cheap but do not stay here. The room we had on the ground floor was not nice - thankfully we were onli in it for a few hours. smelly washroom, dirty carpet, horrible strip lighting. No amenities in the public area except some vending machines. If I had the choice again I would definatel have avoided this place

“I can't believe this is owned by Novotel?!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2011

This only redeeming feature of this place is it's location. We needed something very close to Brisbane International Airport. I do not recommed it, especially if you have small children, I had to wash my baby's bottles in the dirty communal laundry downstairs.
It's noisy, the showers were almost unusable - barely any water pressure and then either hot or cold, not warm.
Beds are horrible, especially the bunk. I thnk it's a dump. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere with some form of service and quality!!

“Cheap but not cheerful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2010

Only stayed here as it was close to airport and had late flight arriving and leaving. Arrived at 11pm, had problems w self checkin, had to walk up 3 flights of stairs to our matchbox of a room w' luggage in tow!. Aircon set to minimum cooling, took a while to sort it out but we got there finally. Tried to open window, no screens of course! Requested ground floor room before return flight, still no screens. ( so not a safety issue ) Pillows an inch thick, slight exageration but you get the idea! One towel each, no facewasher, no bathmat. For $99 could have found much roomier, more comfortable accomodation close to airport.

“Read the reviews - definitely dont do it!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

Stayed here for 4 hour sleep on a 12 hour transit stop in Brisbane. Would have been quieter to sleep in a train station! Noisy house keeping staff - people banging and slamming doors. Room was horrible - was fine with it being small as we werent there for long - what I didnt like was it was so tired and dirty. The shower and toilet are in the same room and when someone has had a shower the whole room is saturated - make sure you read the signs and shut the bathroom door. Glad it was only a short stay and really didnt get much sleep at all!

“OMG the noise!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2009

person found this review helpful

Ok, i have stayed in many formule one hotels around Australia.
We were warned when we booked about construction noise. We were also warned about it when checking in.

I thought ok, i am not around in the day big deal. BUT they never mentioned the noise at night!
Without a doubt after 30 years of travelling this planet including living next to an airport for two years this was by the far the noisiest place i have ever stayed at.
The TRAINS the TRAINS!!!!! So noisy is was hard to comprehend just what they were. I just assumed it had to be trains.
