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The location was fantastic and made it super easy for me to catch the train to the airport, but I found the rooms a bit outdated.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 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. 🌟

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. 🛁

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. 😋

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.

My stay at Sofitel Brisbane Central was mostly enjoyable, thanks to the fantastic location and comfy rooms. However, a few hiccups, like the escalator being out of service and some pricing issues, put a bit of a damper on my experience.

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.
