Beach Hotels & Resorts in Bowen Hills from AU$95

"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?"

"Clean room, amazing staff, perfect location for the CBD as well as south brisbane"

"Clean everything"

"I will say this. In my opinion, the location is definitely one of the highlights of staying at this hotel. It’s right on one corner of the Brisbane river so, you’re surrounded by restaurants, piano bars, spas, etc. Also a great place to exercise considering the riverwalk is literally right there which looks pretty good on your Strava App lol. This Stamford also has a 24hr gym with pretty good gym equipment that won’t be too far off from the kind of workout you can have from your local gym. Breakfast is something I don’t particularly have time for, but the breakfast buffet prepared here is phenomenal. If you have a rental car, it can be parked at the hotel but you will PAY; so ask about if you’re looking for a bit of convenience. Anyway, I always stay at The Stamford when I visit Brisbane and there has never been disappointment."

"good in general, no complains"

"The hotel was amazing very central for my needs will stay again"

"Breakfast was ok, the bar had no Vermouth which I could not believe but it was a fact. The bartender did a great job creating me a cocktail that was similar without any vermouth."

"Great stay, would recommend"

"Pleasant enough stay and the staff were all lovely but the hotel room we had is in desperate need of a proper deep clean. There were stains on every surface in the room including the ceiling. Disappointing as would expect more from an IHG hotel."
