Excellent location within Brisbane CBD, across from the Botanic Gardens and the Brisbane River with all its bridges, easy walk to fabulous restaurants and cafes, nearby ezimarts, Queen St Mall, South Bank with all the eateries, Museum, Art Gallery, Library, QPAC and Convention Centre, the new Star Casino with all its eateries and magnificent view. Easy drive into area from all directions. Room service, cafe/coffee shop, restaurant, pool, spa and gymnasium plus helpful, polite and patient staff. Totally amazing. Looking forward to staying there again.

The only thing we couldn't get was room for more than two people as each room is the same fabulous size and setup with an extremely comfortable King Bed or twin, desk, two chairs, tv, wardrobes, good size bathroom, so we booked two rooms. Great rates though so it didn't matter. I had free wifi and bathrobes with slippers in my package plus drink vouchers for each night I stayed and parking was $20 per day.

Had booked for one night with my family and decided to stay on in Brisbane for some extra nights. Rebooked the Royal as I really loved the location. The view over the park is incredible. I would agree with some of the other reviews that the hotel is maybe a little dated, but maybe that adds to the charm. No complimentary water in the room, but easy to access refills in restaurant and bar. I like that, saves on plastic waste. Breakfast offered is reasonable, but when busy it can take a while to replenish items. There are plenty of really good options for food within easy walking distance. Pool area is lovely, maybe too cold for some people, but I enjoyed it!

We book a 'Premium' room and enjoy the free drink vouchers and cookies. We also like the king size beds which are very comfortable in the rooms we stayed in. The air conditioning was already on in the room when we arrived and it was a welcome relief to have a cool temperature to greet us as it was a hot day for our travel to the hotel.

There honestly wasn't anything we could fault about the hotel. We were in a good position, overlooking the Botanic Gardens, also central location from which we were able to walk along to watch the Anzac Day parade and catch buses to the Tangalooma Ferry port to visit Moreton Island.

A nice hotel with a great location at the south end of the CBD next to the botanic gardens. About a 20 min walk from Brisbane Central station. Definitely go for a room overlooking the park if you can, so you can wake up to trees and flying foxes out the window. Fairly quiet location considering its location in the city. Breakfast was quite expensive as an add-on but very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bar small and well stocked. Definitely serves an older crowd (think middle aged or elderly couples) and business visitors, but that means it's nice and quiet.

Be careful with your bill if you booked through a third party website. There was a mistake on my bill where I was overcharged $55 due to a computer error - it was rectified quickly once I pointed it out, but it would be easy to miss.

Great location opposite the Botanic Gardens, can just walk out the front entrance and you're immediately surrounded by nature. Close to the CityCat terminal, which is really convenient and easy to use to get around. Check-in was very efficient, parking cost 20 AUD per day. Room was spacious, little Easter treat for my grandson which was a nice touch. Good quality bathroom toiletries, really comfy beds. Package included breakfast, great choice and quality. Decided to stay on in Brisbane for an extra couple of days so extended my stay here as I liked it so much! Some rooms have USB charging points, but chargers available at reception if needed.

The premium park view room was really good, and worth the little bit extra for us to enjoy the Botanical Gardens whilst inside. We didn't realise there would be a bidet and it was an excellent surprise extra! We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the restaurant where the service was fantastic, particularly Mae. Location is excellent too of course.

Not the greatest soundproofing of rooms but neighbours noise was at reasonable hours so no issue for us. Just a note- pool doesn't appear heated so may be a little cool in Autumn to Spring if the sun isn't out! And one other thing that isn't a complaint but perhaps good feedback: we loved the red cushy armchair, so comfy- BUT there was only one! So the other person has to sit in the upright dining chair to 'relax'! Two would be amazing.

The staff are incredible, they go above and beyond in every way possible. They are always finding away to make life easier and your stay more enjoyable without being asked. Truely amazing service. The facilities are incredible. The room was very clean, not a spec of dust. The bed and pillows very comfortable with crisp clean sheets. Room service meals were delicious and an exceptional restaurant in the hotel. Lastly I loved the outdoor pool. Was incredible to swim amongst the skyscrapers. Thank you for such a wonderful stay - I will definitely return!

That I couldn’t stay longer - I would have loved to explore the botanical gardens the hotel overlooks.

Wow! The hotel far exceeded my expectations. I was expecting it to be dated and a bit tired because of reviews, but it was fine - especially for the price. I loved the panelling and chesterfields in the lobby. The beds were super comfortable. The breakfast was AMAZING! Delicious fresh fruit - passion fruit, watermelon, kiwi, honeydew; lovely bread; yoghurt with fruits; hot food too; pastries etc. I loved that it was a low-rise building - rare in the CBD. And that it was across the road from the botanic gardens and less than a 5 minute walk right into the centre of town. The pool was great but next time we stay I hope to have time to hang out there. Highly recommend this hotel.

Location incredible, pool facilities were amazing and perfect for hot days and cooler evenings. I had issues with my air con and they were able to move me to another room without any fuss. Staff that I interacted with were very helpful and kind. The bathroom in my room was recently redone and looked great.

Unfortunately when I had to change rooms I was moved from a room with a bath (what I had requested in my booking) to one without. I also didn't have any staff check in that everything was OK after I moved. It was my birthday during the trip too and was a little sad I wasn't offered complimentary drink or something to celebrate! There were no hooks or places in the room/bathroom to hang wet swimmers to dry, and not many towel racks in bathroom.

Room was amazing, bed was so comfortable. Pool and spa area is superb and we lived that you could get food and drinks ordered to the pool. All staff members were extremely friendly and helpful, not 1 staff member walked past us at any time without greeting us and they were happy to help when we asked for directions to a location.

The bathroom could use some storage draw or cupboard but not the end of the world (just being picky) unfortunately we ordered room service that had been missed and by the time we made contact to ask if was super late so we ended up cancelling it (staff member was super apologetic).
