The curtains in the room were falling down in the centre and at one end. We asked reception to get them fixed but we were told as there were no staff to do that it would not happen until the next day. We asked for another room but were told they were at capacity. We asked for a reduction in the room price and were told to email management, which we did. We have received no reply to our email. There are also about 5 or 6 stairs within in approx a couple of metres of entering the room that lead down into the sleeping and living area. The toilet/bathroom is to the left at the top of these stairs. The stairs were not mentioned or shown in the photos of the delux room we booked. We consider the stairs a safety hazard and would have liked to have been informed about them.

We had read a lot of bad reviews before we arrived but our stay was excellent. Yes,the carpets might need renewing but our apartment had everything we needed. Great kitchen and appliances. Large lounge dining room. Plenty of space in the bedroom. Updated bathroom and a handy laundry. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again as in the heart of Brisbane and easy to get around

The Royal Albert Hotel is beautiful accommodation located in an 18th century heritage listed building that is over 100 years old. Our room was on the 8th floor, was clean, spacious and comfortable. The period fittings and decor complimented our room. Situated right in the heart of the Brisbane CBD you’re walking distance to the Queen Street Mall, Wintergarden, Brisbane Arcade and designer stores as well as a number of restaurants and cafes.

Liked: Cleanliness
Excellent location right in the heart of town. Room was a bit dated, with some fittings showing their age in both style and wear. The room size was amazing with plenty of space to relax if necessary. Check in was easy and relatively clear, but no wifi details on the card folder other than 'ask reception' - would be better to include this information or offer it up at check in. Check out was good, with clear guidance on how to tackle the parking aspect; this worked as explained and was straight-forward. I would probably pick a more modern place next time as I felt this location was overpriced for the quality.

A lovely old fashioned hotel in the middle of Brisbanes busy shopping area . Only stayed one night so didn’t use the facilities in the hotel. The room had a washing machine and dryer which would have come in very useful if we had stayed longer. Staff were all helpful and friendly would definitely stay again

There is a management problem with this hotel. I don’t feel safe in it because when I return to my room next day I found my room’s door was widely open. My room’s door was open while I was not in the hotel! It stunned me. I reported it to the front desk immediately and nobody gave me an explanation just like nothing has happened. This is my first time experience like that, terrible experience.
