iQOO🐮:“Longbai Koala Reserve is a wonderful place! As soon as you step into the park, you are surrounded by greenery and tranquil atmosphere. Koalas lie lazily on the banyan tree, occasionally moving their little ears, cute, people can't help but look a few more eyes. You can also observe them eating up close and hear them chewing on eucalyptus leaves. The staff here are also very enthusiastic, the explanation is vivid and interesting, and people have a deeper understanding of the life habits of koalas. Here, it seems that time has slowed down, full of healing and relaxation.”
M60***30:“Climbing the Story Bridge is a unique memory for children in Brisbane. Traveling is a great way to broaden children's horizons. During the journey, children can develop self-care skills, the ability to respond in emergencies, and the ability to empathize with fellow travelers.”
Rita Mashiro:“It is a very nice place to chill around, especially on the weekend. There are also restaurants by the river where you could grab a drink and enjoy your day.”
yccui:“The blue sky and beautiful water are a great place for a vacation. Australia is indeed a tourist destination! I bid farewell to the talkativeness of Shanghai and came here to be as warm as spring.
There are few people and it feels very good. I can also eat oysters at night, which is super delicious.”
sculptor:“The Story Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge across the Brisbane River. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia and is located between the northern and southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia, carrying vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian traffic.”
Decanapel:“Good location, walkable to the CBD. The room is quite standard, it has a good view of the Brisbane River for the room type that we booked. The only unpleasant experience was that our friends (2 other families) checked in together with us but they were upgraded to a junior suite. We asked the front office staff why aren’t we being upgraded since we are in the same group, they said the upgrade is only for IHG members (which I am) but unfortunately I don’t get an upgrade since I booked via Trip.com.”
HaiSheng0727:“The design is good, but the room is bit small and sound isolation is not really good. Need to walk few minutes to arrive the hotel, better to take uber or DiDi.”
Anonymous User:“Good location and only takes around 20 minutes to airport by Uber. Staff are friendly and room is spacious with amazing riverside view.”
Amazinglife:“The hotel locates in the heart of the city, and easily accessible to everywhere. However, beware if you are driving in, as the layout of their car park is weird and you have to be extra mindful when doing the parking.”
Guest User:“Love my 3 nights stay, the bed and the room was very comfortable. The only draw back is to find a parking space when you hire a car cuz the star parking is expensive at $45 per one time in and out nit unlimited in and out. The other drawback is no buffet breakfast. The location is very convenient, easy to get to the city and to find food and supermarket (within walking distance). The amenities like pool, steam room, sauna, sky deck and gym are great. Overall value wise I think is too pricey for no parking and no breakfast.”
Asawaprecha:“The location is superb. It located right at the CBD. Very easy to get around. The service was fast especially the check in process. We arrived early and got check in very fast. We complain about the cleanliness and staff was attentive upon the request we made. The staff were very nice.We got a free upgrade from 13th floor to 21st floor. The downside is that the bedsheet and pillowcase change was very slow and we waited until 11 pm even though we made request before 4 pm. The free buffet is also very average.”
Mister Stephen:“This hotel is standard Holiday Inn. Room is nice and clean with great shower and bathroom. Breakfast is good and the staff are young and helpful. It's an easy walk to the shopping area and the river. I liked the coffee bar at reception. My room needed curtains to block all the light from outside.”
justinwang1987:“Kettle & Tin, brunch in Brisbane, pretty good quality. I don't know why foreigners cook this kind of food, it really tastes like capitalism, haha”
M30***41:“Scrambled Tofu for Breakfast is a must
Fundies is as Paddington as it gets. Scrambled tofu has been on the menu for many years and is a must. The organic products in the store where the cafe is located also attract the eye.”
justinwang1987:“Sultans Kitchen, Indian food. Australia and India are both members of the Commonwealth, so immigration is easy. So there are many Indians. I personally think the taste is good, and the curry is great.”
Kevin:“A steak house with a long history. The steaks here are of New Zealand's unique style, with more sauce and taste quite good. Paired with local red wine, it tastes quite good. The owner is very polite.”
