What guests think

At Oaks Brisbane Festival Suites, travellers praise the central, walkable location, spacious apartments with good views and balconies, and friendly front‑desk service, while recurring critiques cite disruptive nearby construction noise and unreliable in‑room Wi‑Fi.

Apartments are generally large and comfortable with strong views, but decor and fixtures can feel dated, and some units suffer maintenance issues such as faulty TVs, air‑conditioning, showers, or safes. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many find rooms very clean, yet repeated mentions note musty or food smells in corridors and some rooms, occasional stained linens, and sporadic cockroaches. Facilities include a heated pool, spa and lap pool, with on‑site parking convenient though sometimes pricey, and occasional long elevator waits when a lift is out. Overall, expect a central, apartment‑style stay with space and amenities, but check room allocation and construction exposure if light on sleep.

We had a one bedroom apartment for 2 nights. It had a balcony and was very comfortable with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The hotel has a heated pool and spa with separate lap pool too. We enjoy an evening swim. The location is very good as it was a short walk to lots of different eateries and shops. Staff were nice.

One night in Brisbane after arriving from NZ. Easy check in. Good on site parking. A bit overpriced but convenient. Apartment has amazing views and pool area is stunning. Kitchen has 2 coffee machines, built in Miele and a Nespresso pod machine and full laundry and spa bath in bathroom. Only downside is the cold water is lukewarm but that’s probably true for everyone in Brisbane.

I stay at this property quite often and this time around the air conditioning in our room did not work properly. The hallways have a strong garbage smell from the garbage shoots that has progressively been getting worse with every stay to the point of it making me sick this time around. I had to put towels along the doors to stop the putrid smell coming into the room. This will be the last time I stay at this venue

This property is in need of maintenance and is becoming tired. The hotel has a very strong stale cooking smell throughout the building and particularly our room, the smell was intense. Our mattress protector had by the looks coffee spills on it and our aircon didn’t work so we had heaters bought up to the room. Front desk was helpful and attentive but I wouldn’t go back

The building and unit looked old and tired. The hallways smelled of smelly garbage (and attempted to be be masked with large amounts of deodorant) and there were noodles spilled on the floor in front of the lift which was left for over 24hrs.

It was pretty good but the view was poor and will fet worse because they are currently building a high rise right next door which will block what remains of the view entirely. There was noise coming from the building site all night and the last night which was a Monday night it was really bad. I can't say tgst was ok fir the price we paid. Looks like tgd building irks will be ongoing for 12 months give or take. So I would avoid this hotel if you want some sleep. How they are allowed to make that much noise at night I have no idea. They shut down parties for less at 9pm but these jokers make industrial scale noise literally all night.

Overall it was an ok stay. Please know there is 24h construction happening on one side of the building - we looked straight into the construction pit from our bedrooms. Not ok when you need to stay in from 7pm with little kids sleeping. This was not reflected in the price and if i had known I would have booked another location. We complained and asked for a swap of apartment, fortunately they worked it out, swapped some people around and we had a much better stay the next night at opposite side of the building. i still feel very ripped off though paying that much money for annoying hinder and noise, throughout evening and even at night (3am) on our first night. The apartment itself was ok (2BR). It is a bit dated, but most importantly clean. Our first apartment was quite dark/little daylight but the second one had a glass dining area which was nice. The lighting plan was poor with one floor lamp only and harsh bright ceiling lights. That leaves little atmosphere but if you plan to be away most of the time it's something you can overcome. On a plus, location was good and beds were comfortable.

The apartment itself was great, plenty of space and an amazing view. It was clean and provided all the amenities you need. However, we experienced a not well working WiFi, which was unexpected for such a apartment and in a big city (it was a point for us as we needed to get some work done). In addition the aircon was not working well and it was with 18 degrees way too cold especially when there with a toddler. Also, you should currently consider to book or at least check where your room is located (if river view) you will have a 24/7 construction site directly in front which you can year all night (not ideal for people who really care about her sleep quality). It was a bit sad that this was not even mentioned. On the other side, for all our inquiries regarding heating & WiFi, the staff was super friendly and helpful (even if they were not able to sort it out for our stay). I would book this apartment again as it is located perfectly for exploring the city, but checking on all these before.

Spent more time to get the tv to work than to have a holiday in Brisbane. Staff was helpful but could not not resolve the poor wi-fi signal.

Good location but that is about it. About 40 story's tall. A wait from a high floor takes 10-15 mins to bottom in peak times. Queues were at the bottom to get to higher floors. We had a safe in our room that was locked upon arrival. A call to reception to get it unlocked resulted in the staff member telling me my room doesn't have one. Funny that I was actually looking at the safe in our room at the time, which I informed her of. About 15 mins later a staff member (from cleaning I think) attended, had no key or electronic unlock system to get into the safe and he said that it couldn't be unlocked. He said that the key might be at reception, maintenance or cleaning but he didn't know. I asked that he check and have someone come and resolve the problem as I had PC equipment, hard drives and jewellery that needed to be placed in there. His answer - OK. I never saw him again or anyone else about the problem. I had to carry all my stuff around Brisbane because this particular place couldn't be bothered to send someone to fix it. I've never had that experience in any of the 1000+ hotels I've stayed at for work and pleasure in my life. There is also a bar fridge in the room (clear glass door type) to place beers etc in. Turned off inside the fridge so not working, and after 10 mins searching for the power point it was located in a rear cupboard and the plug had been pulled from the socket so no one could use it My wife and I will never stay at an Oaks apartment again.

The location of this hotel is close to Queen St mall with plenty of restaurants nearby. I stayed on the 21st floor with no issues re lifts or outside noise. I had an issue with the television not working which was promptly fixed by the reception staff member- extremely helpful. It is a safe hotel with keycard required to operate the lifts and front door of an evening. The road outside of the hotel is closed due to construction work be undertaken, it did not impact me. Definitely would recommend this hotel

My only issue (and probably more due to my hormones) is I couldn't seem to get the A/C working to my comfort levels. There is plenty of eateries around the area so if you really didn't want to dirty the kitchen there were plenty of options.

Good location. Walking distance to food, shops and bars. Spa and pool nice. Beds comfy. However ‘welcome’ bottle of wine was undrinkable. No hand or pool/spa towels were provided and despite saying 3 single adults were using the room, there were only two king beds so had to pay additional $60 AU for a foldaway. Would have preferred an option when booking to choose two twin beds in one room or at least have a foldaway couch.
