Oaks Brisbane Aurora Suites

We didn't expect to have the views we had. River views on the 51st floor were more than what we paid for. Located on the CBD, shopping, site seeing was convenient. Just note that the check-in is 2pm, so if you have an earlier flight (like us), you can have your luggage stored at the reception until check-in time. The lady the first served us on arrival was a tad bit moody, but she probably had a long night, so we overlooked that. The ladies who served us after that were so helpful and cheerful. The pool and spa were closed for renovations (I think), but for tourists, we didn't mind as we were out and about all day. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and cutlery, and there is a 7 Eleven downstairs for more convenience.

Booked a room to visit friends, those friends weren't allowed to come up to my room and spend time with my partner and I unless they paid $90. What an absolutely joke. These apartments are an absolute raught. Do not book a room here.

An hour to get elevator to room. Others waited longer as we were only a couple. Pools and spa closed which was not advertised when booking. Views are largely obstructed by other buildings. Will not be staying again as there are many other options available at same or better price.

Crooked hotel!!Just be aware people!!! My wife and 2 kids just checked in for the riverfire festival and paid $2034 for 2 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. After paying was told there is a maximum 5 people in the room at anytime due to "body corporate and fire regs". Turns out that this included any visitors. Was given 5 armbands like an 18 yo at schoolies. Interesting how owners of apartment can have 8 visitors... talk about discrimination! Can't even let grandparents visit and watch the fireworks. WHAT A JOKE!

Stayed 3 nights. Check in was easy and the staff member was really nice. The room was amazing, clean, huge, massive balcony, awesome view, nice sized rooms, good carpark (just hard to find the right spot for the car as other people live there) but once you find one its nice and easy. Only cons: the mattresses were absolutely terrible! Was like sleeping on concrete. I called reception to ask if they had any other size beds as cause they were king singles pushed together and the frame in the middle was so hard. But unfortunately they only have kings. The staff tried to help but unfortunately i had to stack blankets to be able to sleep a couple hours as im heavily pregnant. And also the sheets on the bed aren’t warm enough for winter. They are just 2 flat sheets and a tiny I wouldn’t even call doona. But they had extra blankets in the closet. The beds were the only thing that let this hotel down. On the last night the room next to us was quite noisey screaming, yelling and swearing till like 1am. But the other nights it was so quite.
