My Worst Experience at a W Hotel to DateI have stayed at various W properties, but my recent one-night stay at W Brisbane was easily my most disappointing experience with the brand. For a hotel that prides itself on design and luxury, the functional execution of the room was severely lacking.There were several significant issues that made for a very uncomfortable night:Poor Room Design: The air conditioning is positioned in a way that it blew directly onto my face all night. It was impossible to deflect, and I had to sleep on the other end of the bed. Then I had another issue below. Disruptive Noise: The in-room refrigerator was close the the bed and making distracting noises throughout the night that made it difficult to sleep.Between the mechanical noise and the poorly placed AC, I barely got any rest. Maintenance & Cleanliness: after I woke up in the morning, I was shocked to find a visible hole in the bed sheets. This is not the level of quality control one expects from a five-star establishment. And the bath tub has visible torn and wears. Also the motel level toothbrush. Service: there was no staff at the door helped me and my 70 yo mom with our luggages. I hvae to acknowledge that we arrived quite late but I did expect quality service from a lux hotel. And also no free upgrade offered like my stays with other W. Honestly, I am just glad my stay was only for one night. I expected much better from the W brand and won't be rushing back to this particular location.

We had very high expectations due to the cost per room per night and the word around town. Checking in was very pleasant and we were offered a late check out! The building and rooms were fantastic, but unfortunately this is where my favorable thoughts stopped. The service was very average from the staff around the pool and in 3 blue ducks restaurant. The pool was not heated and there was no spa or sauna in sight. Very limited food choices around the pool and with in room dining, we just wanted some good comfort food ( burgers, chicken wings, pizza, a sundae) whist watching a few movies, but these were just not on offer!

We had a very pleasant overnight stay at Q Hotel North Quay. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the location is excellent — an easy walk to everything we wanted to see and do. Our room was also very well stocked, which was appreciated. A couple of small things could improve the experience. The room felt a little cramped, and as we didn’t use all of the furniture, removing some pieces would make the space feel more comfortable. We also noticed a very strong Bushman’s insect repellent smell in some of the common areas, and at cocktail hour there were fruit flies swarming around our drinks in the bar. Overall, though, the friendly service and convenient location were real highlights and we enjoyed our stay.

We love staying at The W! The staff are exceptional, the rooms lovely and The Lex has a great menu for breakfast buffet and dinner a la carte. The pool is a great temp, Deck fab drinks and Away Spa is the perfect little escape... Can't forget the saunas and thermal pools. Looking forward to our next visit 😊

I liked this hotel; great decor, service and location. Terrific lightng and overall vibe. A couple of issues: - kids everywhere. The pool is great, without screaming kids (which parents don't bother to control - as usual!) and let's be real, peeing in the pool - so it is heavily clorinated. So if you want a child free space this is probs not ideal. - It's dog friendly (great for some!) so my room had a slight smell. Not very bad though. - buffet breaking has a great range but the hot food was cold by the time I sat down to eat it. Otherwise, it is a top spot with terrific service if you have the $$$ (I got a good online rate a fair bit below their usual rate - my room a ho-hum view and a touch wiffy so maybe that's why!)

Best hotel in Brisbane with great staff. Staff was always kind and welcoming. The rooms are really cold and can't heat above 24 degrees, so ask the staff for a heater if you run cold! The bar is really great and probably the best bar in Brisbane. Recommend ordering a very spicy margarita. The lighting controls in the room are definitely not great as others have said. All in all great hotel, with some incredible staff. Beautiful views of the river as well.

Stylish, quirky rooms. A great alternative to the usual boring hotel rooms. Bed was comfortable, but all pillows were a little lumpy. I didn’t ask them to change them though, so that is on me. The gym was good, 24h access. Dumbbells to 28kg and 2 adjustable benches. Cable machine, and a few technogym pin loaded machines - bench press, pulldown, abs, legs. 3 treadmills, 2 elliptical, 1 upright and 2 recumbent bikes. Not a bad view, sideways to the river from gym.

If you're planning a trip to Brisbane, stop comparing hotels and book W Brisbane. The location is perfect, the rooms are exceptional and the overall guest experience is simply on another level. W Brisbane is the definition of feeling welcome. From the moment you walk through the doors, every interaction is genuine and respectful, with the Welcome Desk team setting the tone from the very start. I stayed in a Standard King Room and, from the moment I walked in, I genuinely thought they had accidentally booked me into a luxury suite. It turns out that's simply what W Brisbane considers standard. Luxury really is the standard here. I've stayed in many hotels and can honestly say this room, again a standard room, is incredibly spacious, exceptionally clean and they certainly don't skimp on the unique features. I was amazed to see an actual minibar, a personalised welcome letter, multiple desks, plenty of furniture and a room that had clearly been designed with guests in mind. I've stayed in many five-star hotels where it's the little things that become frustrating like tiny kettles, no coffee machine, not enough cups, not enough desk or room space that look great in photos but aren't practical to actually stay in. None of those issues existed at W Brisbane !!. Everything you needed was there, everything made sense, and the room was comfortable to spend time in. The modern design, especially the bathroom architecture and overall layout, was amazing. W Brisbane has become one of the best hotel experiences I've had. W Brisbane has set the benchmark for me. Their standard room delivers an experience that many 5 star luxury hotels still don't achieve.

Where can I eat near W Brisbane?

You can stay in for dining at The Lex, the hotel's steak restaurant, or at WET Deck and Living Room Bar for cocktails and light bites. For local flavors, Three Blue Ducks is also on the hotel's third floor. Tenya, Brisbane's largest Japanese restaurant, offers river-facing sushi and sashimi. For other cuisine, the Brisbane Quarter near the hotel has Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Italian options. Queen Street Mall, steps away, has many eateries, and Elizabeth Street is lined with them too.

What is the area around W Brisbane like?

W Brisbane sits right on the Brisbane River in the CBD, so you are in the middle of the city's action. The Brisbane Sign is a 5-minute walk, The Wheel of Brisbane and South Bank Parklands are 7 minutes away, and City Botanic Gardens are 12 minutes on foot. Across the river, South Bank offers museums, performing arts, and Streets Beach. Queen Street Mall is just steps away for shopping, and the hotel's own complex, Brisbane Quarter, has dining options. The area is walkable, with river ferries from North Quay nearby for exploring further.

How do I get to W Brisbane from the airport or main train station?

For getting to W Brisbane from Brisbane Airport (BNE), about 19.4 km away, take the Airtrain to the city centre, roughly a 20-minute ride. From there, a short taxi or rideshare gets you to the hotel. A pre-booked private transfer or door-to-door shuttle is also available from the airport. If arriving by train, Brisbane Central Train Station is under 10 minutes on foot or a very short car ride away. The hotel's Queen Street Bus Interchange is also nearby for bus connections. From the airport by vehicle, the trip takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic.

What's there to do near W Brisbane in the evening?

In the evening, try WET Deck, the rooftop bar, or Living Room Bar for cocktails and small plates, both with river views. The Lex offers a steak dinner in a New York-style setting. For a stroll, the Brisbane Sign is a 5-minute walk, The Wheel of Brisbane 7 minutes, and South Bank Parklands 7 minutes, where you can enjoy the lights and riverside atmosphere. Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park is a 19-minute walk away. These spots are easy to explore on foot, and the hotel's restaurants and bars are right there.

Is W Brisbane a good base for exploring Brisbane?

Yes, W Brisbane is a great base for exploring Brisbane. You can walk to the Brisbane Sign in 5 minutes, The Wheel of Brisbane and South Bank Parklands in 7 minutes, and City Botanic Gardens in 12 minutes. Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park and Story Bridge are both about a 20-minute walk away. For New Farm Park, which is 2.9 km away, you can take a bus, ferry, or taxi. The hotel's central riverside location makes it easy to explore the city on foot, and the nearby Queen Street Bus Interchange and King George Square Bus Interchange provide transit options for farther sights.
