We love Hillcrest Central. Up high with a great view and room for everyone. Actually used the kitchen this time. Just a stroll down to the free city hopper and you are in the city.

I found the staff at the Hillcrest fantastic . Nothing was too much for them to do .The room was spacious , comfortable and very clean . I stayed there as a family member was in the hospital next door and I found them very considerate of this. Would stay again and highly recommend it to my friends.

Excellent experience apart from the surly male check in clerk who did not point out the sign indicating the surcharge for credit card use.
Also credit card fees for Visa / Mastercard is a bit rich

we were generally very happy with our stay but the air con was temperamental, we asked for a replacement light bulb and no cleaning but we got cleaning and no bulb, appliance instructions for the washihng machine were not appropriate, copies of how to use from manuals would be much better.

Liked: situation, general convenience and comfort, views, pleasant staff
Disliked: restaurant menu did not appeal, its drss code not reflected in its offerings, room service breakfast very average.

Terrible experience with Hillcrest Apartments on Vulture St. South Brisbane on August 2010. Housekeeping helped themselves to food in the refrigerator and drank from an unopened bottle of softdrink. Upon complaint, staff was defensive, dismissive, and offered no apologies. To top it off, hotel manager cited racist comments about their Filipino housekeeper's diets of fish that they bring to lunch and therefor "could not possibly have stolen pizza". Ridiculous and ignorant.

We booked 4 months in advance for accom over the Xmas period. Upon arriving, we recieved our keys and proceeded to our room where they were undertaking renovations - including painting. We weren't advised before arriving or even at the counter when checking in! When asked if we could change rooms the staff were incredibly rude and had to be pushed to find an alternate room for us. No dishwasher in the kitchens. You can hire DVD's but they don't have DVDplayers in the apartments and whilst they advertise Foxtel - they don't have it in the apartments. I was extremely disappointed with staff and services from this place and would never stay there again or recommend it.

We booked a month earlier only to find the hotel had sold our 2bdrm to some one else. seven of us were split up into 3 rooms. Insisted that we keep our kids with us in a room so we were then very cramped.The one bdroom hinterland suite had ants and a rodent with no lights working in the bathroom. we were charged for mini bar and breakfast that we did not use. Most disappointing.

Liked: The one bedroom view to river was the best part.
Disliked: being overcharged, having our room sold to some one else.
