Guest Reviews
- Mike (7/5): Apartment was in a great location and was functional. Very expensive for the accomodation but could have been influenced - Location was fantastic Lifts were incredibly slow, weird smell in the corridors and no water pressure in the ensuite bathroom.
- Hunter (7/5): -
- Rodrigo (6/5): - Location They offered parking on site and pool.
Pool was on “maintenance”
And was not any parking on site.
- Julie (10/5): -
- Leanne (8/5): - Staff especially Stephen were exceptionally friendly! He explained everything perfectly and was a very interesting man! Ocean view 😳
- Neil (9/5): LOVE TO COME BACK - PLENTY OF ROOM VERY SPACIOUS RUBBISH DISPOSAL
- Maryanne (5/5): Satisfactory short stay - Lovely Place, Central Location easy to locate. Hot water ran out momentarily and it was inconvenient since the weather during our stay was cold and rainy. There was also noise from maintenance being carried out in the next suite.
- Stephen (6/5): Good location but very expensive for what it offered during Magic Round. Price Gouging! - 2 bedroom apartment with views
Handy to cafes Didn't like that I still had to pay $49 per night for parking when I was paying $921 per night as it was due to inflated prices for Magic Round (extra $147 on top of $2,763 for 3 nights).
Didn't like that they took the full amount from my credit card 5 months in advance. Booking was totally non refundable
- Terri (10/5): -
- Steve (8/5): - Close to everything The tv wasn't working at times
- Betty (10/5): - Everything Everything
- Eric (6/5): - L'emplacement L'appartement un peu vieillot ainsi que le personnel de l'accueil
- steven (8/5): -
- Kaitlyn (10/5): - The garbage chute smell wafted into our room so we had to sleep with the balcony doors open all night
- Mille (6/5): - Location was good. Apartment was large Shower wasn’t good and the hotel had a smell. Man on reception told us he had a criminal record
- Jenna (8/5): - The location for our event was fantastic. There are food and drink shops very close by.
The bed was very comfortable. The construction works across the road. It would have been nice to be aware of this. We were woken on Saturday morning right on 7am by very loud construction.
There was no plug for the kitchen sink.
- Glenn (7/5): Great value - Great location The demolition work going on across the road was unbearable
The toilet seat was broken
There was no water pressure in the bathroom sink and no plug you could not use it
- Steven (10/5): -
- David (4/5): -
- Michael (10/5): - Location and size Na
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Gardner (8/5): Excellent full kitchen facilities, spacious, good view from balcony on 36th floor - Key security system was excellent. Didn’t know I needed a physical id card or it on an official site like myGov. Also nowhere to temporarily park while checking in
- Karyn (9/5): quick stay over one night - nice view had a balcony everything was great would of like to stay longer but only was in QLD for the one night that i didn't get a chance to use the pool
- Greg (9/5): -
- Scott (2/5): Horrible stay don’t waste your money - Central location Rock hard beds and tv’s don’t work with closed pool broken sauna you get to listen to constant jackhammering from 6 am all day then roadworks all night. No view from all the other termite mounds in the way. $49 per day to park the car. Definitely give this one a big miss. You’re welcome.
- Lita (8/5): Great location, friendly staff and room clean and tidy - Really good location, hotel was spacious and room clean and tidy. Car parking should have been less due to staying at the oaks. Half price potentially.
- Anthony (8/5): -
- John (1/5): Best avoided unless you know the building works in the neighbourhood have finished. - The apartment was big. The manger was understanding when we wanted to move due to the noise. There was a demolition site next door, with jack hammers going from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. It was horrible. We did not know this would be the case when we booked.
In addition the facilities were sparse and the bathroom not very clean.
- Ava (10/5): - Reception staff was awesome - Steven was fantastic and so lovely
- Jack (10/5): -
- bhavi (10/5): -
- Raelene (4/5): Worst Oaks we have stayed in, would not recommend it at the moment! - The coffee shop downstairs & location Nobody tells you it’s in the middle of a construction site, jack hammering from dawn to sunset!!!
- Brad (7/5): - The water pressure Bed was to hard
- Renae (5/5): Short & Noisy - Location Woken up by extremely noisy construction work across the road. Parking was way too expensive
- Keith (10/5): -
- Karolina (9/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): - The noise from the workmen below was very loud even up on the top floor.. The really loud noise should stop at 5.00pm. and not start until 9.00 am the next morning.
- Morgan (10/5): -
- Guest (10/5): -
- Emily (10/5): It was very enjoyable and definitely a future location I’d stay at again - It was center Brisbane apartment was spacious and well kept I had trouble finding the bins I struggled to find the waste only the recycling ones
- Brady89 (6/5): -
- amanda (5/5): - The location was good. The room was comfortable for the 1 night that we stayed. The handheld shower didn't fit into the wall holder. You couldn't have the water pressure high as it would fall out of the holder if you did. There is a lot of construction happening directly across the road. We couldn't sit on the balcony because of the noise nor could we have the balcony doors open because of the noise. Had we known about this, we wouldn't have booked here. The cost of the room wasn't discounted to accommodate for this inconvenience.
- Guest (10/5): -
- Janet (8/5): - Location
Spa The construction noise
- Benjamin (10/5): -
- Sarah (1/5): It was very noisy. - Not much at all For 5 nights my son and I barely slept due to ongoing construction right outside our bedroom window.
- Alicia (8/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): -
- darren (5/5): very disappointed ,was my birthday aswell so just spoiled my whole weekend - staff were great , room was clean construction 24hrs ,7 days a week right outside our balcony, hammers banging at 2am in the morning, why even put people on that side of the building , no sleep at all first night , then got moved to the other side of the building after complaining, we are members of minor but will never stay there again
- Jorge (7/5): -
- Davies (8/5): - Location, staff.
- Kaycee (7/5): -
- Brendan (4/5): Not worth what we paid, if we paid less I would have accepted the issues with the property - The unit was really clean which I appreciated and one of the staff were really helpful one night. The property is old and outdated. You can tell the cleaning staff do a great job trying to keep it clean at least and the maintenance people were around doing as much as they could but the smell outside our room while we waited for the lifts was overwhelming. We had to wait and had very long delays for the lifts some days.
We had parking for the whole time, when we turned up there was smashed glass in the bay we parked in and it wasn’t cleaned up for days. We were there and probably had to pay peak amount for our room over April holidays but it was really not worth how much we paid. Again I understand it is not oaks fault having construction happening right outside but that didn’t help either with really loud noise and then inconvenience of the streets being shut off sometimes
- Nick (7/5): -
- Dawn (8/5): -
- Liyanage (8/5): Was convenient for my purpose - Convenient Access was blocked with the construction going on
- Grace (8/5): -
- Saripane (7/5): Super - Rapport qualité prix super ! Très bien équipé, propre et la vue génial. La situation géographique au top. À faire sans hésiter 😉 Le bruit des travaux en face de notre terrasse
- Gary (2/5): Do not recommend - Location Was good to get access to everywhere in the city but terrible with the construction site beside it I didn't like the amount of money I had to pay for a place where I had to listen to construction site the whole night and all day and was not notified about it before booking or during booking or after booking. It was very disappointed, I was even more disappointed with the reception desk the next morning from the arrogant dude who I asked to hand my key in and I got a grunt a grown and just leave it there, then he proceeded to walk away.

Location
- Martin (8/5): - All of it Heights
- Kym (7/5): Comfortable but in need of an update - Great central location Very noisy at present due to CBD station construction
- Dana (8/5): - Good location Noisy from construction next door
- David (8/5): - Check-in with a concierge, not a remote key collection like so many properties are doing now.
The lifts are great, not number selection needed, just scam the fob and it selects your room level (or you can manually choose a parking level) Parking was $49 per day (but easy to access)
- Tayjah (9/5): -
- Georgia (6/5): - It was really hard to find our room the directions given to us didn’t make sense it was also very hard to find parking
- Aydan (6/5): -
- Georgia (8/5): Great place to stay while visiting Brissy! - Was a great place to stay, been recommending to everyone!!
The bed was comfortable. It’s a great place to stay if you’re visiting Brisbane, as it’s close to everything—you can easily walk to restaurants, bars, pubs, shops, and even South Bank.
The staff were very helpful and kind, and provided clear, detailed instructions on how to access everything, which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely stay here again if I ever needed accommodation in Brisbane. The air conditioning was excellent! The toilet had an issue where it stopped refilling, fixed it myself and started to refill, but not sure if I fixed it permanently or temporarily. Either way, it was a bit awkward going to the toilet and not able to flush for a while.
The ceiling fan was a bit odd—it didn’t seem to matter what setting I used, it stayed on a high speed and was quite loud. As it was a cold night, I couldn’t leave it on as it made the room even colder and the noise was disruptive. I ended up opening the door to let the cool air from the AC flow in, which was lovely, but it would have been preferable to use the fan properly instead.

Very thoughtful as she helped me with my bags as well. What was there not to like?
