The Calile Hotel

The hotel is very stylishly designed and feels quite luxurious and the staff were all top notch, however there were a few things that were disappointing. First the positives: The rooms are designed with attention to detail with beautifully chosen hardware, ample hooks in the bathroom etc, a clever discreet little fold down ironing board, a nice little coffee and mini bar set up; effective block-out blinds, clean. The reception, valet, guest services and restaurant staff were all extremely accomodating, friendly and efficient. The whole look of the hotel is lovely. However, (now for the negatives): The rooms were very noisy. We had a street-facing room on the 5th level and found the street noise woke us up during the night. Also noisy groups of people were coming out of the lift (we were quite close) and the door didn't seem to block out the noise at all. Plus there were regular doors slamming at night. Once restless, if one of us rolled over in the bed, the whole thing shook. So I thought we could have a nice relaxing time by the pool to make up for lack of sleep at night. But no, if you are planning on a relaxing time enjoying the lovely pool area, be warned, it feels like a sleazy pick up joint...if you actually manage to get a sun lounge. There were groups of leering men in the cabanas. The staff insisted that only guests were admitted entry but we had to wonder when a group of young ladies left, just in their swimwear and walked across the road to the carpark, jumped in their cars and left....which made us question whether they were guests. Would I come back? I would certainly look into other options first.

underwhelming and overpriced for what it is

Such a stunning Hotel From the minute we arrived we were treated to super friendly and very helpful service.. the staff were fantastic the rooms are beautiful and clean. We enjoyed spending time around the pool where the service does not stop..we cannot wait to return

Since the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed and like at home. The hotel is spectacular in its simplicity: the pastel colours, the open corridors and lobby with tropical plants, the swimming pool are picture perfect. The room was spacious and comfortable, overlooking the swimming pool. The facilities are great, including restaurants: Hellenica and Lobby bar serving delicious food. All around the grounds are some of the coolest shops around, with lush vegetation. Staff are very friendly and nice and with movie stars looks. Great experience overall.

Tropical attainable luxury, in an oasis of calm that is the James Street community. Careful considered design and a customer service team that actually care about their clients, their hotel and represent their brand so well.

One of my absolute favourite places to stay. From the staff, to the rooms, and the pool, everything is so beautiful and to such high standards. Staff are so attentive and friendly from the moment you arrive, to when you leave. Have no faults what so ever, definitely staying here every time i come to Brissy,

Friendly with cool vibe Really great service Always feel so welcome Food is great - nothing is too much trouble. Check in and out seamless Guests are usually very nice too It’s my go to in Brisbane- close to everything and good choice of alternative restaurants and bars surround
