We stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise that was leaving from the International Cruise Terminal. The main reason we chose this hotel was its close proximity to Roma Street Station as we caught the train from the airport. While it is close to the train station it is located at the top of a reasonable hill and it took a bit of effort to navigate the way to the top, apart from the effort. Several escalators/lifts and then a steep path with no real directions on which way to go. I thought I would be able to see the hotel to give me an idea which way but had to resort to Google Maps to find the way. Unfortunately we were on an early flight into Brisbane so as it was 09:30AM I was not expecting our room to be ready but just needed to store our bags so we good do some exploring. As expected, our room was not ready but the guy behind the counter checked me in, stored our bags and advised that the hotel was busy and our room would not be ready until about 02:00PM. No worries we will be back. We arrived back at 01:00PM and our room was still not ready and waited in the foyer till 02:00PM as previously discussed. Reception gave me our keys and we proceeded to our room on Level 1, or so I thought……..room card would not let me use the lift. Back to reception to have the card re-coded. On entry to our room, it was reasonably spacious and looked clean and reasonably comfortable. Décor a bit dated, but functional. We had a rather large balcony but we could not use it as there was no furniture so the balcony was wasted. Bathroom was small but functional, bit dated but appeared clean. It was only after we used the toilet several times that we noticed water on the floor. We ignored it for quite a while as we thought we had spilt water on the floor but it was not till the next morning that I realised it was coming from under the toilet. I reported it to reception on checkout. As we were tired from our early start we chose to order room service. While we knew how much it was going to cost it was very expensive. Two hamburgers and chips over $70. A bit steep, but as we were so tired we paid so we did not have to go out. The hamburgers were good by the way, but still way too expensive. Overall, this hotel was OK, but the room was supposed to be a superior room. OK. I would hate to be in a Standard Room………..as the room was pretty average for a Superior. After reading some of the other reviews the price we paid was fair and the location is good, just not when you have to push two big suitcases that we were taking on a cruise up the hill from the station. PS. It cost us $73 in the taxi to get to the Cruise Terminal.

We booked this hotel primarily for it’s location, close to Roma Street station and just a short walk into the city centre. We arrived by train from the airport and although we knew it would be a bit of a trek up from the station, the 64 steps to climb with 2 bags each was a bit of a struggle but hey ho, we survived!! Well maintained hotel, rooms are a good size, with safe, fridge, tea & coffee and lovely toiletries. Also a hair dryer and iron & ironing board for those who want to iron on holiday. Rooms serviced daily. We booked with breakfast included and what a decent breakfast it was too. Juices, cereals, yoghurts, selection of fresh fruit and other cold pots. Cold meats, cheese, fish and salad items. Hot sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, hash browns and beans (not sure what the beans were though…definitely not baked beans). Toast and pastries and not forgetting numerous different teas and coffee. This restaurant also does meals throughout the day. We tried it one night, Italian, and it was lovely. Only downside we found was the bar closed early at around 10pm. Located just across the road, Roma Street Parkland is a must visit. What a nice oasis of calm it is. During our visit, March 2023, there were major building works next door which started work around 06.45 each day. It saved us setting the alarm clock though. Should we visit Brisbane again, the Pacific Hotel would certainly be at the top of the list.
