Love this hotel. Really beautiful views and the food was amazing. The service was excellent. Beautiful cotton sheets and supper comfortable beds. Love the restaurants and bar. The breakfast was a buffet. Dinner was fine dinning.

We had a fantastic stay at Rydges South Bank Brisbane. The service was outstanding - warm, welcoming and genuinely friendly from the moment we arrived (Thanks, Shane). We actually arrived a few hours before check-in and were lucky enough to be offered an early check-in, which was such a rare and appreciated touch after travelling, as we were able to drop our bags, get refreshed and hit the streets to explore the area. The hotel itself was spotless and very well maintained, with great amenities. But the real standout is the location. You’re within walking distance of so many amazing places to eat, see and do. Being so close to Streets Beach was a huge win, the kids absolutely loved it. And when we needed a break, it was only a short walk back to the hotel, which honestly saved us a lot of money on transport and extras. Would absolutely stay here again.

A overall great experience. Clean large room with a nice view over the river & big wheel from on the 5th floor. Service was great from start to finish. Very convenient location to everything you need. Beautiful restaurants & close to the city as well. Food was good, brekkie very plentiful at the buffet. A lovely pool and outdoor area to lounge with full bar service. Would definitely recommend Rydges.🙂

The level of service at this hotel was genuinely some of the best I’ve experienced. The staff were friendly, professional, and consistently helpful. The location was also spot on, especially with kids — everything was close by, which made getting around easy and stress-free. The room was clean and well presented, although the décor felt a little dated. Items like the couch, throw pillows, and carpets seem due for an update and stood out against an otherwise solid stay. There was a good range of reasonably priced food options on site. I really enjoyed the freshness of the buffet breakfast, though it would be great to see something that sets it apart from other hotel breakfasts. My wife and I travelled from Cairns and were surprised to find Brisbane even hotter and more humid. Because of that, it was hard not to notice staff working in long pants — several looked visibly uncomfortable in the heat, which didn’t sit well with us. Pros: Great service, excellent location, good food Cons: Dated interiors, uncomfortable staff Overall, a very good stay with an excellent team. A few updates would make a big difference.

We recently stayed at The Rydges South Bank in Brisbane with a group of 26 people, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. A special thank you to Ellyce, who went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was memorable. Her thoughtful touches and exceptional service truly stood out. The hotel itself is beautifully located, with comfortable and well-appointed rooms. The buffet breakfast was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely return in the future. Highly recommend!
