Overnight stay to visit Mater Private hospital, our room overlooked the parking lot of the hospital, great. This is an elderly building but in good condition. Room was huge, the only thing was the bathroom, very 80-90's. Free secure parking a bonus. Will definitely stay here on future visits to Brissy.

I stayed at Hillcrest because of proximity to Mater Hospital. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and the room itself was really nice, clean, spacious and comfortable. I booked the one bedroom apartment and it was great. I have stayed a few places in Brisbane and have had some real stinkers of late so was very pleasantly surprised. I’d definitely stay there again!

We stayed for 17 days, the two bedroom apartment was great, furnished, cooking utensils provided, good city views, have to do most of the cleaning ourselves, have to purchase disinfectant, cleaning sprays, etc, only problem was cleaning staff just changed towels and emptied bins on daily basis, toilet and bath was just wiped off once a week, it wasnt washed, hand basin never cleaned, sheets were only changed once in those 17 days, we didnt ask them to make bed but they could atleast clean the toilets every 3rd or 4th day. So yes the apartment is good but I think cleaning should be given some priorities esp for guests who are staying for so long and paying large sums of money.

The staff were wonderful and accommodating. Walkable distance to South Bank parklands and dining and entertainment options. Room would benefit from renovations - seemed pretty worn out, sound from the next room carried so we could hear other guest talking on phone/watching tv and having shower quite clearly. Overall staff and location compensated any inconvenience during the short stay.

We have stayed at Hillcrest a number of times over the years and are never disappointed. The staff at Reception were friendly and courteous, the room immaculate, and the location very convenient to South Bank, The Mater Hospital, and many other locales.
