A little dissapointed this stay. We have previously stayed with a positive experience however this time we were a little let down. The parking set up has had to change which is fair enough, however there was no communication of this prior to arriving. Secondly the cleanliness of the room was poor. Dusty, forgotten about areas, blankets with stains/marks. We also found a loose pill/medication on the floor and considering we had a small child with us we were quite alarmed at this.

Brisbane CBD - central for business/travel

Very central to CBD and fairly quiet. Rooms are odd in structure as it seems to be converted warehouse floors into very comfortable bedroom, dining and living areas plus kitchen and washing / dryer. Not overly suited for persons that are constrained by steps as have to go up/down four steps for usage of each area. Bar for that room was very comfortable and relaxing.

Avoid at all costs

Do not be fooled by the high ratings as we were. Our 2 night stay at the Royal Albert Hotel was one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever endured. I would strongly advise booking elsewhere. From the moment we entered our suite, it was clear there was a lack of basic maintenance. We immediately reported significant issues with both the toilet and the shower to the front desk. While the staff member seemed caring and attentive, no action was ever taken to resolve these problems, leaving us with a partially functional bathroom for our entire stay. The door handle to the suite was also broken. The noise level was simply unacceptable. Major construction work went on outside our window until well past 11 p.m. on weeknights, making sleep completely impossible. A hotel's most basic promise is a place to rest, and the Royal Albert failed spectacularly. Our request to move rooms, even with an offer to pay for an upgrade, was ignored. To top it all off, the pull-out sofa was horrendously uncomfortable. The mattress was so thin you could feel every single spring digging into your back. We had to request an extra mattress from a fold-out bed just to make it bearable, for which the hotel tried to charge us extra until we refused. Then, upon checking out, we found we had been overcharged by $30 for parking. This hotel is not professionally managed. Problems are ignored, guest comfort is an afterthought, and billing is careless. I cannot recommend it under any circumstances.

A city gem

For an older property this place is well looked after. Great location, easy check in and large comfortable rooms. We had a studio which also included a washer and dryer - very handy. We have found our new “go to” property each time we stay in Brisbane

Homey and convenient

The room was worn but very clean and comfortable, with lots of room to spread out. It is in a central location that is convenient for access to buses and about a 10-minute walk to the ferry and train station. There are several grocery stores nearby, plus a pharmacy and a lot of other food and shopping options. The first room I was given had a broken washer, so if you are staying for a while and counting on a washer, you may want to let the management know in advance. The staff was great and found me another room, but they appear to be very popular, so that may not always be an option. Also, the WiFi was erratic. Despite these issues, I still found it a comfortable stay, and will stay there again if I ever come back to Brisbane.
