We recently stayed here after a wedding. Great location, rooms were nice however we left disappointed due to the cafe in the hotel called cbd. We went down for a morning coffee/tea and waited about 15 mins to receive our drinks, which was fine as they were busy. When our drinks came mine had no milk and the rim of... More

nice hotel, excellent breakfast. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. Valet parking is expensive but all other car parks in Brisbane are also expensive. Its location on the south bank is ideal. many different restaurants and bars. Brisbane city center is 10 min walk, but during this walk you will have a nice view of the city.

Rydges Southbank doesn't supply toothpaste and toothbrush in its rooms,so make sure you bring one. In addition to that, the shampoo and conditioner tubes have a very glued seal, but easily breakable.
