Stamford Plaza Brisbane

My recent stay at Stamford Plaza Brisbane was unfortunately very disappointing and fell well below expectations. To begin with, the breakfast offering was quite limited and lacked variety, which is surprising for a hotel of this standard. The overall quality did not reflect what one would anticipate from a premium property. The condition of the hotel itself is also in need of attention. The furniture throughout feels noticeably dated, and the general atmosphere lacks the freshness and comfort expected in this category. Additionally, the gym and sauna facilities were in very poor condition, appearing neglected and far from inviting to use. However, the most concerning aspect of my stay was the level of service. Despite having booked space for underground parking for the duration of my stay, I encountered a situation on my third day where the car park was full. When I approached the concierge (Daniel) for assistance, I was met with an unhelpful and dismissive response. Rather than offering a solution, I was bluntly told to “just park on the street,” and "do you want me to help you or not" which is entirely unacceptable not just given that parking had been booked but as someone should be there to assist customer needs this way of communication is simply unacceptable. This experience reflects a lack of accountability and customer care that is difficult to overlook. Overall, the combination of subpar facilities and poor service made for a frustrating stay, and I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming right from the beginning. The concierge staff with friendly and helpful work taking bags, and I cannot speak more highly of Alice at reception. Alice was accommodating, professional, very efficient and had such a lovely energy which set the tone right from the start. Rooms are lovely and the location is very convenient. Looking forward to my next stay!

I stayed at Stamford Plaza Brisbane for a short getaway and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Check-in was smooth and the staff were welcoming, making me feel looked after from the start. My room had a beautiful river view that was especially nice in the evening, and the bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with plenty of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. I also enjoyed relaxing by the pool after a long day out. While the hotel has a more classic style, it felt clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and I would happily stay there again.

We attended the New Year’s eve event. Vegas theme complete with decorations and two gaming tables (for fun) . It wasn’t cheap at over $300 each by the time you add fees. But it was all inclusive ( beer and wine ) And the decorations , the service the food and entertainment were all amazing. You could see the fireworks from the little balcony. It was definitely worth the money.. there were amazing decorations everywhere and there were showgirls to have photos with. It was just a great night. Highly recommend, would do it again. I’ve rated the rooms as the function rooms not as the hotel rooms.

For the price, the stay didn’t scream 5 stars. The rooms were clean and quite comfortable, but a lot of the furniture is old and worn. The rooms are a bit smelly (I wish the windows could be opened) and the amenities are cheap quality. The toilet paper was barely 2 ply and scratchy. The towels were rough and did not feel luxurious at all. The TV should have inbuilt smart features such as Netflix and YouTube; connecting via your phone is clunky and tedious. I also would’ve appreciated some variety in the pillows; they were really flat and many people prefer a firmer pillow that offers proper neck support. In many ways, it does feel like the hotel are cutting costs and buying cheaper products. I don’t think you should be charging the prices you do per night, claiming to be 5 stars, then only providing cheap 2 ply toilet paper. I would also recommend having smaller lighting options for the bathroom; a small downlighting option, like a lamp, would be ideal so people who are sensitive to light can have a nicer, more relaxing (and ideally dimmable) lighting option for the bathroom. Overall, a nice stay, but certainly not 5 stars.
