Staff were nice, hotel in a great position, good coffee at reception. Paid to upgrade to a courtyard room and the courtyard seating had bird poo all over it so couldn’t be used. Wouldn’t recommend doing that, but standard rooms are good.

There was no hot water in the morning to take a shower before departing on a 27 hour return trip to the US. I used the $14 credit for a sandwich, which had stale bread, and yogurt with stale cereal to add to it. Disappointing on both accounts. Will Expedia assist me in requesting a partial refund.

Really loved Sage Hotel. Super convenient for an event we were attending at The Powerhouse Brisbane. Such a convenient location with cafes shops bars bottle shop on the doorstep. Parking super convenient. We were in a balcony room and it was lovely, super clean, comfy bed, lovely decor. Loved the natural products in the bathroom. Loved it will definitely be back if we need to stay in Brisbane. Staff were accomodating for an early check in, very impressed with everything!
