What guests think

At Royal Albert Hotel, travellers find a heritage property with very spacious, apartment‑style rooms (many with kitchen and laundry), an appealing old‑world feel, consistently friendly staff, and a handy street‑level cafe that guests call convenient and welcoming.

Guests praise the central, walkable CBD setting and generally quiet rooms. Common drawbacks are slow or unusable Wi‑Fi, dated furnishings and maintenance lapses, and access or parking hassles due to ongoing street works. Expect a spacious, character stay with convenience over modern polish.

Facilities

Parking is mostly off‑site or valet (often at Uptown), and ongoing roadworks and sometimes confusing directions make vehicle access and drop‑off tricky. Several guests found it straightforward once arranged.

Very nice hotel with spacious room. Front desk staff was extemely helpful and friendly. On-site parking was convenient. Construction was occurring on garbage entrance road, so entry was through a construction entrance. it would have been helpful to understand that ahead of time as we had to drive around block a few times before understanding how to enter garage.

Loved the location, close proximity to Riverside restaurants and also Queen St Mall and also a nice walk to South Bank. The parking was initially a bit of a downer but we found that Uptown parking was actually good & a quick walk across to the accommodation.

There was construction on the road outside. The written instructions from the hotel told us to enter from the wrong street, leaving us stranded in the middle of a busy intersection, and probably incurring a red-light camera fine. When we told them, the hotel said "Oh, yeah, it changes each day". If that's the case, you should contact customers arriving that day and update their instructions. Absolutely zero concern was shown. The rooms are quite airless. You aren't allowed to adjust the air conditioning, but there is very little air movement. One bedroom had a rattley pedestal fan, which was better than nothing. The other was just stuffy and hot. On the positive side, the rooms are large and have kitchenettes, and the hotel is well located. That is why we returned this time. We will think twice about coming back again.

This was our second stay at Royal Albert. Great place to stay to explore Brisbane City with just a short walk to bus & train stations. The hotel no longer has its own parking facilities, so we parked literally across the road at 140 Elizabeth Street. Plenty of dining options around the hotel. We will stay there again.

Time for a renovation i think. Or a deep clean.

Apart from the cleanliness, the hotel has a great old world charm and is in such a good position, close to everything.

A little dissapointed this stay. We have previously stayed with a positive experience however this time we were a little let down. The parking set up has had to change which is fair enough, however there was no communication of this prior to arriving. Secondly the cleanliness of the room was poor. Dusty, forgotten about areas, blankets with stains/marks. We also found a loose pill/medication on the floor and considering we had a small child with us we were quite alarmed at this.

Do not be fooled by the high ratings as we were. Our 2 night stay at the Royal Albert Hotel was one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever endured. I would strongly advise booking elsewhere. From the moment we entered our suite, it was clear there was a lack of basic maintenance. We immediately reported significant issues with both the toilet and the shower to the front desk. While the staff member seemed caring and attentive, no action was ever taken to resolve these problems, leaving us with a partially functional bathroom for our entire stay. The door handle to the suite was also broken. The noise level was simply unacceptable. Major construction work went on outside our window until well past 11 p.m. on weeknights, making sleep completely impossible. A hotel's most basic promise is a place to rest, and the Royal Albert failed spectacularly. Our request to move rooms, even with an offer to pay for an upgrade, was ignored. To top it all off, the pull-out sofa was horrendously uncomfortable. The mattress was so thin you could feel every single spring digging into your back. We had to request an extra mattress from a fold-out bed just to make it bearable, for which the hotel tried to charge us extra until we refused. Then, upon checking out, we found we had been overcharged by $30 for parking. This hotel is not professionally managed. Problems are ignored, guest comfort is an afterthought, and billing is careless. I cannot recommend it under any circumstances.

There is a management problem with this hotel. I don’t feel safe in it because when I return to my room next day I found my room’s door was widely open. My room’s door was open while I was not in the hotel! It stunned me. I reported it to the front desk immediately and nobody gave me an explanation just like nothing has happened. This is my first time experience like that, terrible experience.

Location is eight excellent with shopping and restaurants directly across the street and it’s also walkable to many places. It’s a short stroll to get down to the river area. I would also like to recognize Ryan at the front desk for excellent customer service and people skills. During our three week trip, he is one of the most professional and service oriented staff we have met

The room accommodated 5 adults easily walk in wardrobes 2 large recently refurbished bathroom Kitchen area dining table even a small laundery room with tumble driers. Rooms had aircon and larger flat tvs. The location is really central for shops, access to the river, a short walk to main station - great.

We did however order breakfast to have delivered between 7&730am as we had to leave early and 745am rolls around I had to go down to reception to ask about it for them to tell me the restaurant couldn’t do it. That would have been nice to know 45mins ago. Communication with your guests would be much appreciated. Do not think we will return guests unfortunately.

I really did have a good time staying here. Not my usual type of stay but glad I gave it a shot. The hotel and the area it’s located in is like a step back in time. And I do like a bit of history. Check in was easy. Staff friendly. Room was spacious with amenities that would have been more helpful to me if I wasn’t running about trying to see what Brisbane had to offer. Bed wasn’t the plush type but comfortable non the less. The entry to hotel has a little cafe which was nice to stop, gather thoughts, meet other visitors and get some insight. Close to main downtown area of city and botanical gardens. Loads of different Asian restaurants in area, good for the later night munchies, and even a historic cinema a stones throw away. I’d stay there again.
