Wonderful hotel

Review of W Brisbane
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks agovia mobile
We absolutely loved our long weekend at the W! So stylish both in the rooms and common areas. Delicious food at breakfast with a buffet with lots of choices, from cereals to build your own bagel to hot breakfast choices to fruit and pastries. Friendly and helpful staff (many of whom seemed to be young Europeans on their working holidays). Well equipped rooms with everything you need for a great stay. A hood location close to theshopping areas and a walk across the bridge to South Bank. We absolutely loved it.

One thing to note is that the W is part ofa development that is still being finished so you will see some construction nearby, but we honestly only saw it when we exited the hotel on the lower ground floor and you may see it a breakfast of they give you an outside table.

So who stays here? Mostly coupled, from their 20s all the way to their 60s. Saw some families but not too many, and not sure it would be an ideal choice for them.

We would absolutely stay again

The W is a beautiful hotel and really thoughtfully designed I think. The food was yummy and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
However, we were quite disappointed that on arrival, despite our prior request, there was no cot in our room for our baby. I mentioned this to concierge when he delivered our bags, he said he’d follow it up but nothing happened. I then called down to front desk to ask, and a cot then appeared. But my baby needed a nap when we arrived, not several hours later.
The room service options are alright but very limited. Compared to other places we have stayed, there were very few vegetarian options especially.
The shower head needs tightening and no amount of effort could get it to not fall on the floor. This was very annoying, would have been noticed when the room was cleaned before we arrived, and honestly we expected better for a hotel like this.
Finally, we stayed for two nights but nobody came to clean our room. Definitely we can live without having the room cleaned but when you’re paying for a nice hotel, isn’t that part of the service?
Overall a nice stay, but a little frustrating.

We love our stay! We stayed 3 nights and were upgraded to the Marvelous suite. The room is very spacious. The design is very trendy and colorful! The pool is super clean, though the water is a bit cold. Receptionist is very friendly and helpful. We enjoy our stay so much. We will definitely come back in the future!

Not great for families. Found the staff cold and unfriendly. There to do the bare minimum. Booked a room with a young family but they still filled a “mini bar” (more like a small money-grabbing store, taking up a whole table) with shiny little alcohol bottles and “intimacy kits” of condoms and lubricant that are difficult to keep out of little ones hands, but they will charge you $50 to remove them. The pool was great but the room (over $1000 for 2 nights) was shabby - hole in the wall the size of my fist, broken led lighting, stained couch and linens, torn curtain and dirty used glassware. I let the GM know of these issues via email and got a template response.

What a wonderful stay! The customer service was second to none! Nicholas checked me in and was wonderful, kind, warm and inviting, he went above and beyond. Being 6 months pregnant and having traveled since 4.30am to arrive he arranged an early check in of 11am which was phenomenal and so appreciated. Mike the hotel manager was super helpful when our room service food order was removed from the room while we were out and it was replaced promptly, he was outstanding to interact with. David who welcomed guests from their Ubers and farewelled guests was genuine, kind and professional. It’s the people that make any establishment wonderful and these three men deserve to be commended.
