Hotéis em Darra

Paid for an upgrade to a room at the back after reading reviews describing noise levels. Glad we did because this motel fronts a busy motorway and still traffic noise at a bearable level from back row room. Room was large and very clean although 2 small living cockroaches in bathroom. Husband found bed to be perfect but I had trouble sleeping on it. You can’t please everyone. When we arrived around 5pm the main door to the office was locked but a fellow, either a customer or worker was sitting on a waiting area seat in the reception area and told me the manager was not there but I could use a side door. That was no problem as within a minute or 2 the manager arrived and I told him who I was and he remembered I had called an hour before to check on the availability of a suite rather than a room. Only thing that stopped me short of giving 5 stars was the manager’s apparent distain at having to serve a customer. The dear man couldn’t have looked or come across to me as more put out by having to attend my booking. He offered very little information. When I asked about the wifi password ( wifi did not work at all by the way, even with instructions ) he disinterestedly told me it’s on the back of the key. Also on the back of the key was information on what to do if the tv gives a no signal message. I don’t know why he couldn’t be bothered to explain that. So all up, he was a very poor ambassador for the motel and could easily, single handily ruined the start of someone’s vacation vibe with his “ can I just get this over and done with” vibe. I maintained my chirpy and happy disposition in the meagre attempt of cheering up this poor soul. Alas, it wasn’t to be although when I asked about distances /directions to a venue we were to attend, old mate, worker/customer was all for telling me everything I needed to know. Thank goodness I had him to share the information I needed because once that key was in my hand, Mr manager had done his part and no further talk appeared to be necessary! Maybe HE needs a holiday? Other than that, the suite was suitable for a longer stay with microwave, cooktop, kettle and mini fridge/freezer. There was adequate crockery , cutlery, pans, toaster and washing up items to be able to prepare food for 2. We only stayed the one night and did not eat dinner or breakfast from the dining room on site. I knew about the dining room from reading reviews, not Mr Manager.

I stayed here for 6 nights for a training course nearby. I was impressed overall. Room was clean, wifi was very fast with a strong signal and the room relatively was quiet, despite being near a busy main road. Rooms included a pod coffee machine too, with coffee pods free of charge from reception. Walking distance from Rocklea railway station (which is temporarily closed but has stationlink buses to to the next station up the line). Only minor quibble was that reception was sometimes closed earlier than the published hours. I would happily stay here again.

Fantastic - really great location, near the convention centre, the ferry and shopping area. Very modern and clean, great to have a place to make a piece of toast and cup of tea in the morning. Would highly recommend to anyone staying more than a few days in Brisbane.

Booked through Luxury Escapes.. sorry to say I should have checked reviews first. The location is good restaurants and hotels nearby plus easy walk to convention Centre..but that’s where the good news ends. Tiny one bedroom, weird balcony with no furniture, no decoration and the most uncomfortable lounge and chairs. View over building site. Had to ask for tea and coffee sachets, for the bottle of wine that was supposed to cone with booking. No ambience at all!

Recommend if you are looking for a clean and quality place to stay and are a budget traveller. This yha has a very high standard compared to others. It is more like a youth hotel with bunk beds rather than a backpackers place. You also meet travellers of all ages, families and youth groups around the place. The rooms are super tidy and serviced daily, spacious luggage lockers that fit a large suitcase (fantastic!) and are light filled with aircon or windows to be opened. The kitchen is very big, nice rooftop terrace with city views and pool area. Tv lounge and soon it’s own co working hub which I think is a great addition to the concept. Free luggage storage for guests and friendly and helpful staff.

So sad such a good hotel has gone bad. After many years of staying here . It is under new management with zero customer service. On the multiple time we have stayed here in the villa we have always had daily room service and fresh fluffy white towels & face washers. I have even written praising reviews on stays here . But we will not be returning here again. Gone are the daily room service and fluffy towels and face washers. Now it is room service on a 4th night & thin small white towels & one even had a hole in it and no face washers. The blind in the kitchen was broken the corner & had not been replaced. In the bathroom the shower head would keep falling down. The shampoo & conditioner dispenser on the wall were empty. A once full hotel was very empty too, so obviously other people have voted with there feet & wallets. When I spoke to the office attendant & asked if our room service was going to be done like the past I found her manner rude & blunt and she directed me to a cupboard where I could help myself to some fresh towels.

Room in good condition, good location However, if you book a room that is not marked as ‘Deluxe Apar**ent’, ‘Two-Bedroom’ or ‘Studio Apar**ent’, You will have to live in darkness all the time... The hotel has to change the picture of the room

Fantastic location. Service was amazing, with shout out to staff - Exec Chef James, F&B Operations Manager, Gareth, Christine from the Signature Restaurant just to name a few who made our stay amazing and went the extra mile. In fact all the staff we met were really helpful, attentive and happy. Recommend the upstairs pool, the terrace bar for cocktails. Book it, a perfect escape…leave the kids at home.

Hotel location is good, the room is okay, there are many cabinets, kitchen facilities are complete, but there are many bugs in the room, the door lock of the balcony is bad, the ironing board is dirty.

Work event. Was a nice clean hotel. Staff where nice, including the cleaner that let us join in the elevator.
