Best Hotels near Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Southbank

The hotel is close to the Southbank shopping area and has great views. The hotel is on a very busy intersection and we had a lot of difficulty parking out the front. The hotel entrance is confusing and not obvious. The reception and restaurant area is all black and very dark, which may be fashionable but its not practical. The 2 bedroom apartment was surprising small and the bathroom and shower were too tight for tall people. The closed balcony was safe and allowed for a little fresh air. The air conditioner in our room did not work and it was to hot to sleep. The lighting was also a strange set up, you could not turn on the bathroom lights without turning on all the lounge lights. We had dinner and breakfast at the venue and dinner was very good. The cold breakfast selections were average and only melon was available for fresh fruit. The orange juice was terrible. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I booked it for S$600 for 3 nights. Very good deal and it is a very nice hotel. Spacious for 2 adults 2 children. Separate shower room and toilet. It would be nice if it comes with bathtub though. Nothing else to complain other than the inconsistency in roomkeeping service. They only topped up amenities like tissue box upon request though it was empty during room keeping. Need to request for extra pillows as only gave 4 per room for 2 queen sized beds. not within free tram zone but only 1 stop away from free tram zone. Usually we will stop at batman park stop and walk back. Links between 2 crown hotels, very convenient.

Maybe it was once nice but it has got so many issues with it and I highly recommend you look elsewhere. We stayed in a two bedroom one bathroom apartment and it was honestly the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We were assigned room 2201W. Here are the issues we encountered during our four night stay. 1. Power outage on our last day with no back up generator for the entire building (both east and west). It’s 31 degrees outside so opening the doors is also not a smart option. Started at 9am and is already over 4 hours. As I have breastmilk in the fridge for my 3 month old, this is my worst nightmare. 2. Safe battery is low. Why hasn’t anyone changed it??? 3. Bathroom shower head plate is broken so water sprays at you un-uniformly and overall unpleasant. 4. Water drips out of the shower but the fall doesn’t go to the drain so the floor remains flooded. 5. Due to point number 4, the bottom of the bathroom door has expanded and the door does NOT close. It is so jammed that it feels like you’d break the handle trying to jam the latch in and back out. 6. Stupid placement of the microwave. You can’t open the microwave door more than 45 degrees. How on earth do you put a dinner plate in there??? 7. Missing cups/ mugs and glasses. 3 mugs, two short glasses, two tall glasses and odd numbered cutlery. Just fix it, for crying out loud! The top rack of the dishwasher was also broken making it difficult to pull in and out the middle rack. 8. Upon check in, we didn’t have any cleaning supplies such as dishwashing tablets, hand washing liquid for dishes or laundry powder. 9. Rooms are so tiny. Don’t expect to be able to open your medium sized luggages inside your room. We kept our two in the so called living space instead. 10. Generally upkeep is not there. Walls have visible stains and grime from previous guests. The whole place just overall felt really really filthy. 11. Not family friendly either. There is a flight of stairs at the entry and no ramp. There is a wheelchair elevator to the side which takes way too long to operate with a crying baby. If you’re on your own, be prepared to lift you pram up or hope a Good Samaritan can help you because the hotel staff won’t. Clearly there are issues within management and housekeeping. I sense laziness and lack of hospitality understanding is to blame. STAY ELSEWHERE!!!

Location is good if you need to go to the Convention centre since it’s only about a 6 or 7 minute flat surface walk. The young woman from Michigan at concierge was SUPER helpful and friendly. And the check in staff were kind, knowledgeable and friendly. Room was a good size, king bed was comfortable, lots of pillows and a down duvet made the bed nice to get into. The window views weren’t anything special as we saw some buildings and a freeway. Housekeeping did a great job with taking garbage away, replacing towels and always made sure we had water, cream and coffee/espresso. Room came with toothbrushes, mouthwash, qtips, shower gel, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner. There was a hairdryer, fridge and a shower with a rain type shower head. Front desk has adapters available if you didn’t bring one. Over all it was a good stay Not a lot of stores (grocery or convenience) in the area but it was super easy to get an Uber.

The location is good and convenient for traveling. It takes 2 minutes to walk to the entertainment city through the overpass, 5 minutes to the river, and 10 minutes to the free tram station. The hotel is quite satisfactory, equivalent to a domestic four-star hotel. There is a smoking area and even the elevators have Chinese translation.

The staff are very friendly. The location is very convenient and good. The facilities in the hotel were complete. I think it ’s reasonable.
