The location was close to the Cultural Centre and the South Brisbane Railway Station! The apartment was quiet. The kitchenette was well set up. A washing machine, dryer, iron, and ironing board were all very convenient. Reception staff were lovely both on check-in and check-out.
My room was not clean, long black hairs were in the bathroom corners and on the shower plate from previous guests! The shower shield was broken and smeary.
