⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Stay – Perfect Location & Exceptional Service! Our stay at Rydges South Bank Brisbane was absolutely outstanding! The hotel’s location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the vibrant South Bank precinct, with easy access to restaurants, the Brisbane River, and cultural attractions. Our room was modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and great amenities. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Would 100% recommend Rydges South Bank to anyone visiting Brisbane and will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

The accessibility to the convention center was absolutely outstanding. There is a direct passage from inside the hotel to the third floor of the convention center, which was incredibly convenient. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and it’s easy to walk to many parts of Brisbane from the hotel, so the location is truly excellent. The staff were all very friendly, the room was clean, and everything worked perfectly.

Everything else was great, but the sink and faucet in the bathroom were a bit inconvenient to use.

The fact that the Hotel was close to everything, including QPAC where we went to see cirque Alice. It was so nice to come back and relaxed after attending the show. The Ferry was great and so close to you it was fantastic to ride up and down the river and see Brisbane from the river. The breakfast was fantastic 😋 and so very efficiently organised, the variety was wonderful. We also liked that you used the eco friendly attention to the room cleaning, one doesn't need fresh towels everyday , or the bed made we are quite happy to do that.Our view from our 10th floor was so interesting.

NOTHING you and your staff did an excellent job of looking after us on our special 2 nights away.

We loved the room. Very spacious and comfortable.

The only thing we were disappointed in was, when we went to go for a swim on Saturday afternoon, there was a private function in the pool area and we were not able to access the pool. We understood that it was possibly more profitable to host that function but not a great look for everybody else staying there on that day. Also noted that there is another area that could be used for a private event with the pool area being available to both the private event and the people who paid good money to stay there. Food for thought?

The pillows are brilliant. Room was great with a wonderful view of south bank and city. Food is fine. Breakfast menu app didn’t bring all of the menu so I couldn’t order what I wanted. Also menu app was supposed to be available to order breakfast at 7 but not open until 7.15. I only order toast and coffee which didn’t arrive until 7.50. I had nowhere to be but a little later home than expected. On the upside, the valet parking was much easier this time. No lineup and drove straight in near the front entrance. Very convenient location. My concert was right next door at Convention Centre. Staff are excellent. The positives far outweigh any negatives.

Location was unbeatable. Walking distance to everything we needed. Room was a good size.

We found the beds way too soft and the pillows too hard and big (even though 6 pillows were provided - they were all the same) When we drove up to the property they were very busy and seemed to be struggling with the influx of people arriving. I was left to my own devices to try and find a suitcase trolly as well as find someone to talk to about valet - it was stressful as my car was blocking people but I had no where to go. Another arriving guest kindly helped me with my bags. (My partner was with my sleeping baby and unable to help me)

Great location and friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy with our room ready early. The hotel is in a great location, with everything we needed/ wanted to go to within a short walking distance. Everything was very clean and the room was spacious and modern. Room service arrived quickly after ordering, with the room service menu having a variety of food and drinks to choose from.

The TV in our room kept turning itself off every now and then while we were watching it. The room wasn’t very sound proof and we easily heard people out in the corridor and in the room next to us, making it a bit noisy, especially at night.

This is a great location very close to Southbank, ferry, train and bus transport as well as only a short walk to the city. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby and the performing art centre, museum and art gallery is also an easy walk. We had a river view room which was great as it also offered view of the new Casino lit up. Our room was spacious and comfortable. This is not a new hotel, however I have no fault to find with this accommodation and would stay here again.

We had a river facing room which was quiet, however I noticed that the train line ran behind the hotel, so rooms at the back may be noisier.

Concierge very polite despite our poor vehicle placement. Had meal both nights in CBD - good and interesting range of menu items and service excellent. Room was comfortable and clean and great access to convention centre

Couldn't get a booking at Bacchus for our arrival evening. I didn't fill in a review for our last visit in May. The receptionist at that time made a big problem out of the fact my credit card was in my single name and booking in married name - refused to accept the card that I use for everything. I did not have this problem at this visit

I stay at Rydges every stop in Brisbane. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the staff friendly and very helpful.Location is fabulous right at Southbank, short walk to public transport both buses and trains.An easy stroll over the river to the city and the new Casino. The cafe / room-menu although a bit limited is full of yummy things to eat and not over the top prices…But the fact you are right by oodles of restaurant choices at Southbank this is no problem, The buffet breakfast is excellent and recommended.

I honestly can’t think of a single thing I don’t like.
