Great location. Apartment itself was nice but not like the pictures posted - it was more outdated. Building itself was really nice with a beautiful outdoor area and pool.

Excellent location right on the river. Beautiful view from our apartment. Some aspects looking a bit tired. Pool wasn’t particularly clean but the room itself was clean and tidy. Really easy check in and very accomodating staff - helped us check in and store our luggage even though we were well ahead of the check in time.

Came for the views of the river, the city and the fireworks and was not disappointed. River Plaza is an icon and we loved our stay. Our family of six were really comfortable in the two bed, two bath apartment and could not get enough of the views from the open balcony. Tennis court and pool were an added bonus. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will consider staying again for a special occasion.

The worst most disgusting place I have ever stayed. It was so bad we left after 1 night and went to the Novotel which was beautiful. Filthy, dated, broken furnishings, no air conditioning working, the place is a nightmare. Never ever stay there

We arrived during the stated reception hours, but reception was closed. We phoned the number on the front door and were let into the building and guided through obtaining our key from the lock box, so it wasn't a problem. The apartment was a good size and clean. It had a long balcony, running the length of the apartment, which was great. The view over Brisbane City, the river and Southbank was amazing. We often sat out on the balcony just enjoying the view. We enjoyed our two night stay at this property and would stay again.

I stayed in Unit 25. It was filthly very filthy carpet old furntiure leaking taps blinds broken in bedroom could not block out the sun. The couch was all ripped and covered up with a blanket. The bed was very uncomfortable. disgusting. The receptionist was lovely but unfortunately units are individually owned. and owener refuses to recarpet and fix up problems. I would not let this person if I was in to let this unit. Bad for hotels.com

Disappointing! If only I could include photos!! The apartment room pictures online definitely didn’t match what we walked into. The room was below par, especially the bedroom. Patchy paint, cords hanging from bed head/bed side table along with it not being attached to the wall properly. The carpet was tattered, smoke detector exposed - functional? Who knows. No valance on the bed, ensemble base stained, fan was clunky and not working properly, bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly & only one plate in the whole apartment kitchen. The only thing going for it was the amazing view and location. I’ve paid less in Southbank for a nicer room! All in all, disappointing.

The location is amazing. The hotel room was amazing. We did have some issues with check-in which was a little annoying. The most annoying thing though was the air con. Every 10 minutes the air con would make this really loud noise so it was impossible to sleep.

We loved the location and view from the apartment BUT…. The TV must be over 15 years old, seriously it needs to be replaced as the picture quality is very average when there is reception (which is poor on 1/4 channels). The lounge is terribly uncomfortable and must also be similar to the age of the TV and probably the cheapest lounge they could a couple of decades ago. No storage in shower for soap. In whole the Apartment is very tired and sparsely furnished, if they don’t replace the old furniture and TV and give the Apartment some life then more poor reviews and less return customers will be evident. We won’t wait for that to happen.
