No curtains or blinds
Did not sleep due to the bedroom having no curtains so all the building lighting shined straight in.

Great location, just off the end of the Queenstreet mall . Woolworths and a BWS bottle shop down below. Walking distance to Central Railway station, and the mall for food and shopping

Not quite like the pictures!
The hotel was conveniently located in the Brisbane City just near the Apple Store across the road from the end of the mall. Shops and restaurants were nearby. The entrance was extremely difficult to locate. The two bedroom apartment was very large. The furniture comprised older and newer items. The dishwasher was partially broken. The tiny patio had a broken clothes dryer, one chair that was filthy, a broken hose pipe, dirty bamboo style privacy screen and an old door thing. It was very dark in the apartment, you needed to keep the lights on. We were extremely disappointed about the pool. The pictures looked lovely, however the pool was what looked like, in a state is disrepair. It was empty with green mould / scum all down the sides. It stated it was under repair, albeit with the way it was looking, it must have been like this for a very long time. I doubt I would stay there again. Quite disappointing. Staff were very pleasant and professional.

No locks and people intruding
Fantastic location. Thats where the positives end. I booked Macarthur Chambers for 12 nights. When I arrived to the unit, it obviously had not had a thorough clean. The walls and doors were dirty, the dishwasher smelt like old food and the kettle was unusable (it had a peeling film on the inside of the jug). The hotel lacked basic communication, I had an electrician, not once but twice swipe into my room without knocking and no notification despite me telling reception twice to please not let anyone into my room. There is no lock on the inside of the door and I felt unsafe enough to have a chair against the door when in the unit. The room says they do houseservicing every 7 days, this was never offered to me. The Wifi also doesnt work.

Unlikely to return
The check-in process was not as smooth as it could be. My colleague checked in after 6 pm and there was nobody at the desk. We did not expect that and that was a challenge. Wi-Fi service really slow and not usable

I feel the parking at the property should have been explained prior to arrival. The apartments furniture could do with a bit of an upgrade. Great central location in a beautiful heritage building.

8/10 Very good

Excellent location right next to a lot of the shops that I needed away from the much high end shops on queen street. Check in was terrible. Check in date was on a weekend and it is unstaffed thus I was left outside with no communication and instructions on how to check in. The after hours line did not answer my calls had to get Expedia to intervene. Apartment is fantastic. However the bed is single which is not an ideal size for me personally.

Good rooms, well laid out kitchen and laundry. Right in the middle of the city, so very easy access to shops and transport. Check in easy but the only issue is if you have a car, getting access pass to the carpark. You have to very quickly park in Edward st, get the pass then proceed to carpark in Elizabeth St. Overall great stay

Pros: ± Prime location ± Spacious accommodations ± Friendly staff members Cons: ± Numerous maintenance issues, including a broken toilet button, malfunctioning bathroom door, a toilet roll holder that was temporarily secured with bandaids, a flickering light and curtains stained and detached from rails ± The bathroom door had detached, and a male staff member at reception informed us that we would be responsible for the repair costs, which was quite a frustrating experience given the general maintenance of the property. ± The air conditioning in the property had an overpowering fragrance. ± Reception services were only available during business hours and not on weekends. ± There was no secure storage available for luggage before check-in or after check-out.

Don’t stay here!
I sent an email to management the day after I checked out and have given them a month to reply but have heard nothing. I would have accepted an apology, but since I haven’t, here you go: I checked in late and had instructions on how to get my room key- that was all fine, I’ve been through this procedure at other hotels before. But when I went to drive into the underground carpark, the roller door was shut and my swipe card wouldn’t open it. It was midnight and I went around the block after reversing out and re-read the instructions to find I was supposedly doing everything correctly. Twenty minutes later someone who had a swipe card that worked, was able to open it and I drove in. I finally got in my room I got to my room and it went from bad to worse. A big stain on the bed, half-smoked yellowing cigarettes on the balcony, and the bathroom bench hadn’t been wiped down after the previous occupation and had leftover, dried toothpaste on it. The following morning, the blind in my room wouldn’t open and the shower flooded the bathroom due to a loose shower head leaving me to mop before leaving at 10am. A total of 9 hours spent in my room and I’m doing housework. There was no natural light in this room making it super depressing. So I left and came back only when I was ready to sleep.
