Directly on the street, 25 min walk to Queensroad. 6 parkingspaces in front of the Hotel, more in the back (15$pd). Our room had 1 queen, 1 regular bed, though we were only two persons. A/C remote was broken, you have to climb to turn it off. The room was dusty, only one fork, one small pot, one tiny pan... More

The longest 3 nights I have ever spent at a hotel. Double bed was very unconfortable and kept on sliding on the tiles every time one of us moved. Room was shabby. Bathroom had mould and peeling paint. Bath mat was a dirty towel folded in half. This was supposed to be their DELUXE room! Only plus was the price... More

I checked into this hotel in rainy January and the manager, Bryant was very helpful and showed me to my room. I was pleasantly surprised how close it was to Chinatown and the CBD. They are both only a walk away and considering I only paid $89 for the room I thought it was very good value. I had a... More

Fairly old building but not bad air con is cold and the showers are hot. Yes the bathroom sink is daggy and the room fridge is rusty but you get clean towels each day. Stayed for 3 nights to be close to RBWH and we walked everywhere. Served a purpose probably not going to be my first choise next trip. More

3 nights was far too long. 3 minutes would be long enough. Depressing rooms, could hear everyone else, terrible location. Even the receptionist asked why we were staying there cos it's terrible! Avoid like the plague! I've stayed in far better hostels/backpackers! More

Unfortunately I booked this motel based on the internet advertising, being close to the RBH, and it was very affordable. We stayed in unit 17 - the airconditioning leaked all over the floor, the shower waste overflowed - no problem the staff unblocked it with Drano, gave us an extra towel to mop up the water that leaked everywhere.

My partner and I were in need of a place to stay urgently and decided to try our luck with a "budget" motel in Brisbane. After looking at several internet adds for motels in various locations we agree'd that City Palms motel was the best value for money. When we arrived we almost laughed as the photo's on the internet... More

My wife and I stayed here, and were presented with the dirtiest ever accommodation we have ever experienced. The walls are so dirty that the grime is running down. The refrigerator has never been moved since it was installed, hence the muck beside and behind it. The stove top was grubby, and the microwave was swimming in a mess. The... More

This place stinks, the reception smells like an ashtray. Very arrogant staff. Very noisy place, you can hear the next room door banging during the night. The TV was almost on the ceiling, ended up with a sore neck watching. The room was very cramp and the kitchen very small. Didn't like anything about the place and will not go... More
