Hotels Near Samford Central in Brisbane

We stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise that was leaving from the International Cruise Terminal. The main reason we chose this hotel was its close proximity to Roma Street Station as we caught the train from the airport. While it is close to the train station it is located at the top of a reasonable hill and it took a bit of effort to navigate the way to the top, apart from the effort. Several escalators/lifts and then a steep path with no real directions on which way to go. I thought I would be able to see the hotel to give me an idea which way but had to resort to Google Maps to find the way. Unfortunately we were on an early flight into Brisbane so as it was 09:30AM I was not expecting our room to be ready but just needed to store our bags so we good do some exploring. As expected, our room was not ready but the guy behind the counter checked me in, stored our bags and advised that the hotel was busy and our room would not be ready until about 02:00PM. No worries we will be back. We arrived back at 01:00PM and our room was still not ready and waited in the foyer till 02:00PM as previously discussed. Reception gave me our keys and we proceeded to our room on Level 1, or so I thought……..room card would not let me use the lift. Back to reception to have the card re-coded. On entry to our room, it was reasonably spacious and looked clean and reasonably comfortable. Décor a bit dated, but functional. We had a rather large balcony but we could not use it as there was no furniture so the balcony was wasted. Bathroom was small but functional, bit dated but appeared clean. It was only after we used the toilet several times that we noticed water on the floor. We ignored it for quite a while as we thought we had spilt water on the floor but it was not till the next morning that I realised it was coming from under the toilet. I reported it to reception on checkout. As we were tired from our early start we chose to order room service. While we knew how much it was going to cost it was very expensive. Two hamburgers and chips over $70. A bit steep, but as we were so tired we paid so we did not have to go out. The hamburgers were good by the way, but still way too expensive. Overall, this hotel was OK, but the room was supposed to be a superior room. OK. I would hate to be in a Standard Room………..as the room was pretty average for a Superior. After reading some of the other reviews the price we paid was fair and the location is good, just not when you have to push two big suitcases that we were taking on a cruise up the hill from the station. PS. It cost us $73 in the taxi to get to the Cruise Terminal.

Easier to nice location, polite people, easy to get help

The Soho Hotel in Brisbane is definitely great value for what you pay. The rooms might be a bit small, but they've got everything you need: a fridge, desk, comfy bed, and a decent bathroom. It's also nice and quiet. Having the free city bus right outside is a huge plus. No lift, which was a bit of a hassle for me with my back issue, but that's on me to check next time. The hosts are top-notch – super friendly and welcoming, probably the best we've met during our three months of travel. Considering the price, you're getting a lot for your money here.

Wasn’t planning on staying here, but was bumped to this accomodation at the last minute by Clix. So a bit disappointed as we were staying at one of their other buildings which was closer to restaurants etc and had a better pool. The apartment was clean and looked out over the hills and river, the bed was comfortable. Could have done with more kitchen utensils like a baking tray for starters. Stove had a wok burner but no wok or fry pan. Tiny wash basin with no side bench so had to put stuff on floor. Shower door handle had coroded and needs replacing. Disappointed in the pool, even though technically out doors it was all under cover thus no sun light so a bit chilly as it acted as a wind tunnel. Also was on 22nd floor and could still hear trains that ran past building.

Convenient location in Brisbane city. Reception provided great service, was polite and welcoming. We had a warm welcome and a quick, easy and fuss-free check in process. Thank you Vania! (Hope I got her name right) Amazing view from the Sky Lounge located on the 36th floor. However the apartment was slightly dirty. We put up the sign to make up our room but it was not made at all, even when the housekeeping staff was cleaning the room next to ours when we left. We left the hotel to go out in the morning and when we returned at night the ”make up the room” sign was still on our door and the room was exactly as we left it when we went out. Room wasn't made, toiletries weren't replenished.

We were due to stay here for 3 nights, however checked out after 1 night. Unfortunately we were sharing a room with an incredibly loud snorer, resembling an animal of some sort. Of course, this isn’t the hostels fault, but pairing this with a very bright outdoor light plus a bright fridge light inside the room, I got max. 1.5 hours sleep. I also found one of the reception staff to be rude, as when asking for a blanket at around 9PM, I was told ‘Reception is closed’ whilst he walked away from me. He then reappeared a minute later, and alas reception had not closed. I wouldn’t recommend staying here!!!

Great apartment, spacious and had all I needed for a comfortable stay. Internal laundry, Foxtel, Air con and ceiling fans, full kitchen amenities and a walk in wardrobe between the bedroom and bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful.

It's amazing how an entire trip can be ruined by one stupid incompetent answer to a very simple question 'how do I checkout early'. If staff don't understand how the property operates and management want to save money by not having a 24 hour reception for the love of god COMMUNICATE. The warning letter (not a welcome letter) outlines all the rules of being a customer with Atrio, although you'll spend more time dealing with Miro next door. You will need a key and fob to use lifts and access the carpark, and if your leaving before reception opens do NOT leave your key in the room as instructed, make sure you get your car out and park and block the driveway or park illegally on the street and THEN you can leave your key in the room and use a lift to ground to exit the building, or put it in the managers letterbox as I found out later. If you do follow this advice you wont be sorting through your rubbish at 6am (dutifully removed from the room as per threats from the warning letter) to find the after house number on where to leave your key. The welcome letter DOES NOT explain this, reception staff DO NOT know this and the manager on the phone later saying it was a communication error and I should have known what to do needs to find new empoyment. GET SOME TRAINING. Rooms were good quality and location is good if not noisy. If I never stay again though I'll be okay. I also travel several nights a week and this would have been a chance to gain a lot of business for the property, sadly I will keep trying new places.

the location is quiet, it's good for the driver has a free parking, just a pity for missing to go to the roof top to see the night time of the city view.

Stayed here for a couple of months for work nearby. Had a great reception from staff. very friendly, helpful and inviting. Which remained throughout my visit, nothing was too much trouble, always helpful. Room was perfect, city skyline view at night from the balcony was great. Room facilities gave me all I needed for cooking and storage. Cleanliness was outstanding across whole property. Car parking secure. I love early morning walks and this was an easy stretch to the river for exercise. I think they even ordered perfect weather for me. Great hotel, well done 😊
