What guests think

Royal On The Park draws consistent praise for its unbeatable location opposite the City Botanic Gardens and friendly, accommodating staff, while feedback about comfortable beds and generally clean, spacious rooms is balanced by notes that the property feels dated.

Common drawbacks include tired bathrooms, intermittent maintenance issues, and occasional lift outages or construction noise. Several guests also mention patchy Wi-Fi, some housekeeping lapses, and that the outdoor pool is unheated and the spa can be lukewarm. Overall, expect classic, old-world charm in a prime, walkable spot with warm service and comfortable sleep.

Loved the park view King suite. Very clean and spacious. Lovely informative staff. Had a nice breakfast in our room. Great amenities. Good size outdoor pool & spa with plenty of deck chairs. Close to Queen St Mall. Buses and City Cats basically at your door. Great central location. Highly recommend staying here. 10/10.

Front Desk did not explain the amenities so I had to ask about wifi, breakfast, and gym. The reason we chose this hotel was becaise of the spa and pool. Spa jets were disfunctional and the pool not heated. Breakfast was the standard but poorly executed.

The hotel was built in 1969 so from the outside it looks pretty dated in style however the interior of the hotel is beautiful with real old world charm. A fantastic bar with panelled wood walls and friendly staff. Good size rooms with fresh bathrooms and great location near the botanical gardens.

Ett fint hotell med trevlig service, mycket skön säng, rymligt rum och god room service med fin frukost. Vackert läge intill botaniska trädgården! Städningen var däremot under all kritik. I badrummet hittades flera svarta hårstrån på både ytor och i nytvättade handdukar. Toaletten var och blev aldrig grundligt städad trots städning under vår vistelse. Kanske ska städpersonal bära hårskydd? Jättesynd, då detta kändes högst ofräscht.

Liked the location being across the road from the botanic gardens. Was quite dirty in the room and complex, empty tissue box was never replaced, water pressure was not consistent, broken toilet roll holder fell on my young child so I had to take it off (it was dangling precariously) but housekeeping kept putting it back instead of getting someone to fix it.

Lovely hotel, opposite Botanic gardens, good breakfast, but terrible night sleep. From 11pm until 1.40am our attempts to sleep were constantly disturbed by nearby talking and opening and banging shut door. Guests in the room opposite kept coming and going but I discovered our room on the 4th floor was adjacent to the 24hr Guest Laundry Room that was in constant use until 1.30am. Reception couldn't guarantee there wont be repeated visits to the Guest Laundry Room through the night. I had to be up at 6am for a video conference call - so not good. After repeated complaints to people using the laundry room and to reception, they eventually moved us to another room at 1.45am and were very apologetic. It sems a mistake to inappropriate to locate the 24hr Guest laundry room next to guest rooms on the 4th floor.

Room was noisy, walls thin, could hear the family next door. Woken early by people up and down the corridor, particularly kids banging on room doors. Rooms could do with updating, particularly the bathrooms. Carpets in bar area and room corridors could be better vacuumed. Wasn't given any information on arrival about available facilities, just directed to the lift! However, bar service was good as were the bar meals. Would we stay again- a resounding no due to the noise levels and lack of sleep!

Great convenient location. The rooms are a good size, but be aware that if you pay the premium for a park view room it is more a road view room. Most of the staff were lovely other than the surly receptionist I got at check in. Whilst I could hear others checking in getting the spiel about breakfast, the poom etc I got "There's your key, the lift is over there..." All of the concierge staff I dealt with were exceptional

It's very close to the river and botanical park, which I thoroughly enjoy visiting when I come across from Victoria. It's very comfortable. The facilities are clean. And the swimming pool is very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

A really decent central location, plenty of short-walking distance places to visit and shop at. The rooms were nice and clean with a good size shower and plenty of hot water for our party of 3. The buffet breakfast is a good solid start to the day affair and had some great fresh tropical fruits and juices to compliment the full buffet. The bar was a little dark and small, but had a decent range of drinks and cocktails. Overall a good place to base your stay in Brisbane for a few days.

Location was excellent, Botanical Gardens just across road and close to City Centre, City Cat and Pedestrian Bridge to South Bank. Only disappointing point was the Xmas Lunch. Two of our Adult daughters are Vegan, but we couldn't get an answer from the Catering Manager as to what food they would expect for Lunch but he didn't want to know about it. Our food was very good, although 3 Courses instead of 4 would be sufficient. The Vegans had half a can of chick peas as an Entree and Main was half an Eggplant, so no Value at all for them, considering the prices charged.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the room was spotless and well-presented. The only tiny thing I could fault was the cheese toastie — it probably didn’t need the cheese sauce. Other than that, everything was fantastic! A huge thank you to the lovely team for making our stay so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
