There was a Weird Smell coming from Bathroom.. Room Could have done with a Vacuum and Shower needed a Clean also Shower Head could do with a better one
Property itself was nice inside for the price, but the room I had, had zero natural light it was very dim the outside was just dirt and trees blocked every bit of natural light. The lights inside were crap so felt like I was in a prison cell. The patio needed a good wash.
The room was very filthy blood on the sheet brown markings on the sheets
Carpet Stained bathroom mouldy toilet not cleaned absolutely disgusting so disappointed wasted money would of been better to find a patch of grass at south bank and sleeping there

My stay was probably marred by the fact I arrived late after a big day of travel and my ground floor room's window opened onto the rubbish bins. Hot wet garbage smells and followed up by noise at 5AM next morning throwing rubbish into said bins. At least i didn't pay too much for this stay, but the stay did not live up to the advertising.

Our beds were uncomfortable and the room was very noisy.
The staff was incredibly helpful, courteous and pleasant however the facility itself wasnt great . I would categorize it as a motel not hotel . The tv didn’t work , I had issues with access to the laundry room ( got locked out ) I was only there 5 days so I didn’t want to complain to much but if another trip to Brisbane is in the future I d be looking elsewhere for my stay
Needs a lot of renovating to make 4 stars,
Very old, I was sick from the food.

Riverside Hotel
Room was adequate but needed work - curtains sagging and let in light, mattresses lumpy and needed replacement. The location of the hotel was excellent if you want to be close to the cultural precinct in Southbank and close to good restaurants.
