2-Star Hotels in Spring Hill

Stayed overnight in the Brisbane quarters after having to make a last minute booking and being faced with limited accomodation options. I think this place is trying to promote itself as a hybrid hostel/hotel. However having stayed there it’s clearly the former rather than the later. There is of course, nothing wrong with that - but I think it’s been a source of some confusion and previous negative reviews. On the plus side the staff were really friendly, the location was central and the private room we stayed in was fine - with TV (with Netflix), a clean private bathroom, small bar fridge and comfortable bed. It had a compact infinity pool, small kitchen and fitness space (very limited though). It looked recently renovated. Breakfast was included but for memory this was just cereal and toast. On the negative side - it is a hostel. This isn’t really clear on TripAdvisor for some reason. Anyone ＞40 years of age will feel like a dinosaur here. It carries all the traditional tells of a hostel - you get your towel assigned at reception, it’s noisy and the sheets are a bit threadbare. They will ask for your passport or drivers licence as your form of ID. Overall it’s a great option if you know what you’re in for. I think the private rooms are only worth it if they are priced around 100 dollars or less as there are usually plenty of hotels around that 150-200 mark.

A truly exceptional hotel. Quite well located in Brisbane. Doors are equipped with keyless badge that works very well, very modern. The room is fairly well equipped, with retractable table, fridge and microwave. The shared bathrooms are very clean and there's a kitchen. Nothing to complain about.

I've booked 3 nights in a studio directly fm hotel website (+ a paid secure car park). The shower water pressure is the worst I have ever experienced. It is not possible to take a proper shower & don't even think about washing hair. We've told the staff at reception in the next morning. Then, we went out for sightseeing. We're surprised that it has been fixed while we back in afternoon. So, appreciate their quick action. However, I found my face towel, which was hung on towel rack, was very dirty. Obsiously, someone cleaned his/her dirty hand by my face towel. I believe the hotel manager should do something to improve their maintenance team. Some noise fm street while sleeping. We closed the window near bed & problem solved. Lighting in the room is not enough. The little shelf in shower is too small. It can only fit in 1 shower gel bottle. And some more hooks shall be fixed in toilet for hanging clothes. Hotel location is good. Close to walk to CBD & river.

The hotel is very close to the city center, and walking on the slope feels a bit like Chongqing. There is a park opposite and a windmill. Although the hotel facilities are a bit old, it is still very convenient for casual accommodation, and the sunset is beautiful from the balcony on the eighth floor.

I have stayed in other motels in the area, often because the Metropolitan was fully booked. It is a short walk to town, mostly down hill, and if I wanted to bring shopping back, can get a taxi from the city center for less than $10. I have stayed here when seeing a specialist on Wickham Terrace. Not the purpose of this trip but it is an option if that is the reason to be in Spring Hill. Parking is not guaranteed, but I never had a problem finding space. the staff are courteous and the rooms clean. Currently the restaurant is not a going concern, obvious hard to do business in lockdown(s), but there is a little cafe across the road offering Vietnamese soups and western fare. If looking for place to stay in Spring Hill. Metropolitan is excellent choice on a budget.

Amazing hotel in Brisbane city to stay with a convenient location close to everything, and professional service from their friendly staff! The gentleman named Ray at reception is amazing! We finished our city walk in just one day by his informative and useful tips with pleasant memory and nice photos I would definitely choose soho again if I have chance to visit Brisbane 👍

The wife & I had to stay in Brisbane for eight days, and checking out the first six reviews, we decided to stay at the Astor Apartments for $936 + $200 holding fee released after we left.
 Very spacious but quite old. TV is small, which does not matter because the couches are so uncomfortable; one cannot sit on them long enough to watch anything pillows helped. Large kitchen with outdated appliances. Oven, microwave, dishwasher. Large fridge Very dated bathroom. The toilet seat is so old; it looks permanently stained. The bathroom sink tap was loose, the toilet roll holder also just hanging on, handles were fulling off draws. Air conditioning/ heating not working unit not clean the place cold. I talked to management; they told us the air conditioners/heaters have not worked for a long time and gave us a small heater, found a fan in the bedroom cupboard, and later found a second heater and an old VCR. A large balcony with views over the city is great because you will be awake very early, no blackout curtains, and the curtains don't cover all of the enormous windows. Glass is relatively thin, so night noises and all-night street cleaners also people screaming can be heard. Washing machine, dryer, clothes airer, provided can not close the door when using the dryer which took a long time to dry one's clothes. A lumpy bed with no bed head and only one PowerPoint by the bed went out and purchased underlay so we could sleep. Proper cleaning is required. Quite dusty in the vents, behind the bed & window ledges, the wife stood on Glass in the bedroom vacuum cleaner had no bag and did not work so spoke to management about Glass they did not seem to care asked for a vac that worked one was delivered so vacuumed the place window. Sheets were too short for the bed; my feet got tangled in under the blanket; when I asked management, they told me that this happens in a lot of places and that they have travelled all over the world, and this practice was normal and acceptable got extra sheets of them so I could fix the problem. We would have left the next day but because of an operation and was not very mobile stayed put for the duration, saying that we would never stay there again and advise others to check out other places.

My experience at this hotel was very traumatic. Extremely Racist staff. Firstly the man didn’t allow us to use the washing machine. Then he walked strait into the room we were renting and spoke to my kids and said no noise allowed, at 10am in the morning. When confronted about children and how play can be fun and noisy he told us to go be quiet or leave. This hotel does not like Aboriginal people. It was very obvious with comments made and the bullying experienced by us. Other people in the hotel with children do not experience this bullying by the owner. When I phoned the day before we arrived he said we have washing powder you and that we do not need to bring any. We arrived and he took one look at us and said oh you will have to go buy your own washing powder. Today we experienced my special needs son be discriminated against. I attempted to provide an awareness of why my special needs son required additional support and from time to time it can challenging. The owner simply snarled and said what ever. This is the level of unprofessional consumer service you will get staying here. When my sister suggested with the the owner that she would contact the obbudsman and human rights commission the man simple laughed and snickled oh bring it on. Mind you this was all because my children were playing inside our rented hotel room at 10am in the morning. Very unprofessional, very arrogant, this hotel does not apply code of ethics for the consumers at all. He is a bully that likes to take accomodation funding for families needing to access the close by hospital. Very rude and very racist. This hotel is a human rights commission complaint waiting to happen. The owner was quick to apply for the hospital funding three days ago when we need some close to the hospital to stay , so that we could be close to our daughter in hospital, how ever once the hotel receives the accomodation allowance from QLD Health , the owner then bullies and harasses consumers. The owner actually physically pushed the door open and walked into our hotel room and raised his voice at my children whilst I was in the back of the hotel room doing some thing. The owners resolution and method of communication is arrogant and undermines any ethical or professional manner of resolving maters. Why accept children and a mother to a hotel then when we arrive he gives us a one queen size bedroom that mum and 3 children have to sleep in together. So many flaws in this hotel. So illegal.

The location is close to Central Station but not a lot right nearby. Cleanliness - problem. Picture shows blood stains on pillowcase. Day we arrived, bathroom trash was full from previous inhabitants. Next day, they made the beds but my pillows were in the floor. Room coffee cups never washed or replaced.

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.
