This hotel is in a really great position close to art galleries, State library, museum and convention centre as well as the cultural life of Southbank. The staff are very helpful and respectful, the rooms are clean, bedding fresh and crisp, and the hotel easy to navigate. Breakfast and dinner are available on site, but many options for eating out are also available. I would recommend this hotel for your next Brisbane visit.

Stayed overnight at Riverside Hotel. The room is a bit dated, but it was comfortable and very clean. The air conditioning worked well, which made a big difference. Check-in was quick and easy, the area was quiet, and having free parking included was a great bonus. Overall, a solid, hassle-free stay.

The location was great! Close to train and South Bank. Bed was comfortable. The hotel is due and booked into completing a refurbishment that will help with the “tired” aspects - but it was amazing value! I would book again.
