What guests think

Across recent reviews, Woodroffe Hotel is seen as a budget‑friendly base with friendly staff and a convenient Southport location near tram links and shops, though compact rooms and limited, paid, first‑come parking are recurring trade‑offs.

Many guests praise the overall cleanliness and modern feel, while some report odours or stained carpets in a few rooms. Rooms are simple and compact with firm or joined beds, preset air‑conditioning, and wet‑room style showers that can splash water outside. Service is generally friendly and helpful, but limited front‑desk hours and after‑hours check‑in can cause hassles; the small café serves breakfast and coffee with limited hours. Expect a straightforward, good‑value stay best suited to short visits.

Don't bother to pay extra to park in the basement. It's like trying to park in a sardine tin. I ended up parking on the street and requesting a refund for the parking cost. I won't stay here again only for this reason.

Clean room and friendly staff, however very disappointed with not being able to park in the hotel parking. Was not told until checking in that there was no parking available and it made it extremely difficult and unsafe as I was travelling by myself and I had to try and find street parking very late at night.

Keep in mind that the rooms are quite small and there is no driveway or entryway--just a door off the street. They provide a free laundry for guests which is a plus. When entering the hotel, you need to walk up steps to the first floor to access the reception desk. A small manual lift is available for heavy luggage and people who can't do the stairs. Overall, it's very clean and a good value for money.

The Woodroffe hotel was in a good position for the band we went to see situated near china town and Australia Fair. The hotel reception staff were friendly but reception closes at 7pm. The room had a dirty stained carpet and an overwhelming smell of disinfectant which was mixed with a drain smell. The king bed was two mattresses put together. It was otherwise clean more of a budget hotel which for the rate we paid of $320 for one night made it worse. It has a small cafe only open in the morning which we didn’t visit. There is also very limited secure parking for the hotel but there is metered parking on the roads outside so it wasn’t a problem but should be in booking info as you are unlikely to secure a park in the hotel. Overall it was ok but far too expensive as it was budget, no frills at best.

We were at the Woodroffe hotel for 2 nights. The room was clean, comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. However, the room was tiny. No cupboard for storage. On saying that, you are in Queensland, so you dont really want to be hanging around in the room all day. The bathroom was very clean - just a doorless shower, which ends up with water all over the floor. They did however, give us two bathmats, so I used one to dry the floor, once the water had drained. The lifts are very efficient, the staff were friendly, and the location was quite good - close to the university and to the beach and Australia Fair shopping Centre.

Overall pretty good, nice and close to club and restuarants. Beds average to good. Staff excellent. First room/night A/C was set to Heat and we couldn't reduce the temperature so the room was unbearable. On speaking to staff, room was promptly changed to a "Cool" room setting; second night was much better. Lobby breakfast was convenient and well cooked and having a limited selection but adequate to get the day underway. Nights had some minor "city" noise and one morning the garbage was emptied at 0500a.m. Overall, the convenience of the location for us means we would return.

Room - modern and clean with comfortable beds, but minimalist. Just a heads up - tiny fridge with no freezer for ice brick. Room had 2 single beds, but only one chair. No microwave. No niceties like complimentary biscuits. On-site parking in basement is $20 a night, otherwise its the street with metered parking during the day. (Didn't know when I booked, and parked on the street, but would have chosen somewhere else that had off street parking in the rate if i had known, as I felt the extra $20 made it an expensive hotel) Late checkout is $15 per hour.

Staff are often praised as friendly, efficient and accommodating, with smooth check‑ins and occasional early access or upgrades. Reception closes around 7pm, and after‑hours check‑in or limited staffing has led to delays and frustrations for some.

I arrived at 7pm on a work day to find that staff left early and there is no one on site The front door had a number of unpleasant suspicious individuals around it and it was difficult to get in. Once in i found no parking facilities and when I called external support for the front desk was told that there was no access to parking. This was poorly explained on Wotif in a small section of the webpage. Eventually I was offered parking in an empty car park for $20 per night. This was not mentioned on Wotif in the hotel bio. When I organised delivered food there were more suspicious individuals around the front door and I worried for the delivery driver. The following day I was working in the lobby (studying) and when I needed the toilet at 6pm found that the lobby toilet had been locked. I called the external support and they could not help with unlocking it. My room had no chest of drawers for clothes and the bedside tables were poor and collapsing. The large bed was x2 single beds but the base had slats which were too small and moved when I was in bed. I had to strip the bed back to fix this problem. Overall a terrible stay I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

What I thought they went over and above with was our early checkin due to a concert we were going to. We arrived at 10.00am just to check if we could leave our luggage somewhere, I was greeted by two of the biggest smiles ever and was told your room is ready. This was 10.00am and our original check-in was 2.00pm. This to me was over and above what I was expecting.
