Brisbane Hotel Guide - Newstead House hotels in Brisbane, Australia.

"I have stayed here previously, and I knew what to expect at the price. I think the biggest issue is that the listed photos and rating flatter the property far too much. It is not a 4.5 star property. It is closer to a worn down 3 star option. The location is good. Price is fine. Property is not well looked after. Even having stayed here before, we had a few "moments" this trip. - Checking in, we entered out room to find the hotel staff having their lunch in our room (also the late checkin was a nightmare from last time) - The aircon did not work in the bedroom - There was plastic awning all outside our room on the floors and up the walls - The pool was closed for planned works (we were not advised the pool would be closed before the rip - annoying) - Shower needs urgently replacing Place needs some urgent TLC."

"Very comfortable stay. The bed and linen were excellent, and the room was compact but efficiently set up. It was also surprisingly quiet considering its location on the highway, and everything inside was tidy and clean. The only downside was the check‑in process the system took a while to let me in but once inside, the stay was great overall."

"Nice hotel and I liked the room layout and the staff were great. At $550 a night I don’t think water in the room is too much to ask for along with a safe kettle and tea bags of a quality above floor sweepings and definitely not instant coffee! There were negatives but not the hotel’s fault. We didn’t realise it was a sporting event in Brisbane over the weekend that we were there, Magic Rounds?This meant that the hotel was MUCH more expensive, 3x the regular rate and an utter Bogan fest’. I had assumed that this was an Australian stereotype but they were out in force. Neanderthals with no shoes, shocking hair cuts, creepy moustaches and no social etiquette whatsoever. Wandering the corridors barefoot with a beer bottle in one hand and a phone in the other shouting loudly into it. Doors being slammed constantly, loud in the corridors and rooms and the whole place smelled of eau de McDonalds/KFC with the litter left outside the rooms a testament to its occupants. God forbid they got in a lift with you, there are weight limits in lifts for a reason. I really feel for the staff, and the housekeeping in particular, who had to deal with the mentally challenged. Would I stay again? Probably. Would I visit Brisbane during Magic Rounds again? Has Hell Frozen over yet?"

"The front counter staff were very welcoming and helpful, with wonderful customer service. The room was well appointed and clean and the bed was comfortable. Perhaps housecleaning could up its act a little. The bed was made up, as requested, but crumbs on the floor were not vacuumed and a cleaning cloth was left on a bedside table. However, aside from that we enjoyed our mini break at Sage Hotel, and would definitely recommend it, and stay there again."

"Great location "

"Breakfast was ok, the bar had no Vermouth which I could not believe but it was a fact. The bartender did a great job creating me a cocktail that was similar without any vermouth."

"No parking"

"Over and above what is usually expected from a hostel. A hotel feel with in room kitchenette, towels provided, private outside space (our room had a terrace, others have balconies), air conditioning, good quality beds and bedding. Amenity spaces were well designed, clean and comfortable. Staff were the most friendly we experienced and offered advice tailored to our short stay. Lots of little touches that went a long way. Couldn’t be happier."

"Lovely spacious rooms and tasteful decor. Great place to stay."
