Always a great place to stay!
We chose Central Hillcrest because we were attending a concert at Brisbane's Riverstage, and it is a short walk to the venue. We have stayed at Hillcrest a number of times over the years and are never disappointed. The staff at Reception were friendly and courteous, the room immaculate, and the location very convenient to South Bank, The Mater Hospital, and many other locales.

Nice place in a good location, soaps and clean.
Main issue is that it's overlooking a busy road, and the windows are hopeless in terms of sound proofing
