My stay at Sofitel Brisbane Central had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic and made it super easy for me to catch the train to the airport, but I found the rooms a bit outdated. While the staff was generally friendly, I faced some issues with room accessibility and the service could have been better during peak times. Overall, I think there are better options out there if you're looking for a truly accessible experience.

I had a lovely experience overall at Sofitel Brisbane Central, especially with the location and the really good concierge service. However, there were a few issues with initial communication regarding lounge access and some amenities that left me slightly disappointed. Despite this, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, particularly in the Club Lounge where the breakfast offerings were impressive.

My Club Room on the 29th floor was large and very comfortable, equipped with all anticipated amenities. The bed was especially comfy, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the extra pillows I requested through room service.

The service was a highlight of my stay. The concierge team, especially Harry and Mark, provided really good assistance and hospitality, and the staff in the Club Lounge, including Ing and Kevan, were friendly and attentive.

Location

The location was perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to transport and a variety of dining options nearby. I enjoyed that it was close to the CBD without being noisy, as I hardly heard the trains despite the station being directly below.

Dining

The dining experiences were good, particularly the breakfast in the Club Lounge, which offered a great variety of fresh, healthy meal choices. I also enjoyed complimentary pre-dinner drinks and canapes, although I felt the dinner service at one restaurant was a bit slow.

The hotel had excellent facilities, including room service and valet parking. The cleanliness was commendable, but I think some areas in the hotel could use a refresh to match the high standards expected from a luxury hotel.

5.0/10

My stay at Sofitel Brisbane Central was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The central location made getting around Brisbane effortless, especially with direct train access from the airport. The buffet breakfast was undoubtedly one of the highlights, providing a vast selection for every taste. However, the room felt dated and showed signs of wear, which detracted from the otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, it's a solid choice for visitors, though it does have room for improvement. 🌟

Rooms

I stayed in a Luxury room that, while roomy and quiet, seemed quite dated. The furniture and bathroom fixtures felt worn, and I wished for a better view since the square outside was under renovation. The water pressure in the bathtub was also a bit weak. 🛁

Service

The service at Sofitel was really good. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcomed as an AccorPlus member. They even accommodated an early check-in for me, which was much appreciated. 🍽️

Location

The hotel's location is prime, being situated above Central Station and within walking distance to major attractions like Southbank and QPAC. This central positioning made it easy to explore the city. 🏙️

Dining

9.0

The buffet breakfast at Thyme 2 was excellent, with an extensive selection that truly impressed me. It was easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had. However, some dining experiences, like dinner at Harlequin Jack, were just average. 😋

Facilities

7.0

The hotel features a gym on the top floor and a heated jacuzzi, which I enjoyed during my stay. However, I noticed that housekeeping could be more thorough in maintaining cleanliness throughout. Also, the corridor on my floor felt a bit damp.

The location couldn't be better! It's right above Central Station, so getting to and from the airport was a breeze. Plus, there are plenty of shopping options nearby.

Dining

The restaurant and bar on-site were quite nice, with delicious food, although breakfast was a bit chaotic with so many guests. The quality of the food itself was great, though!

Facilities

The overall amenities were decent with room service and valet parking available. However, I found the $40 upgrade for a 'luxury' room a bit hard to justify given its aging appearance.
