Next Hotel is located in the heart of the CBD in the Queens Street Mall. We have had a chance to…read morestay a few days at an international brand hotel in the same area and in my opinion this hotel is much better value. The rooms are spacious and very modern. We got one of the rooms where they are testing their new in-room technology package. They will be rolling this out for all rooms very shortly. I found it very convenient and no real issues or glitches. Everything is controlled by a tablet - lights, temperature, etc. The TV has Apple Airplay and smart tech. There is a list of free movies as well. As an added bonus you get 4 free mini-bar items for every night you stay (i am not sure if this is a limited time promotion?). The location is excellent and their food options are great. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the check in was efficient. Top notch service. I would have given it a 5 star rating except the parking situation isn't ideal. In the area parking is an absolute premium and the Queens Park area is pedestrian only. It took us a little while to find the self park. It was a little annoying but the rest of the hotels attributes made up for it. They do have valet which we normally use but we were not going in and out on this particular visit so we opted for the self park option. Overall excellent option in Brisbane. I recommend it!

I've stayed at NEXT twice now and have to say it's got a lot going for it, including a terrific…read morelocation, great guest amenities like a big lounge area to work and play in. The rooms themselves are new and slick and the phone-remote controller for everything in room is clever but sometimes hard to use when you're tired and can't remember how to do things like turn off lights and aircon! The room rate is really quite reasonable for this standard of hotel and they win the hearts of those who stay here with special extras like free tea and coffee in the lounge area, a "we trust you" mini bar (including 4 freebies per day!) and sleep pods if you need a little pick-me-up during the day (still haven't tried them, damnit!) My only criticism: the set up of NEXT is supposed to be seamless and more self-serve. I guess the idea is kind of like the supermarkets that now have self check-out, so you can check yourself in and out of NEXT without ever needing to speak to a human. The problem I see though, just like the supermarkets, is that when you need help or actually want to speak to a human, they're not always that friendly. You really could stay here without interacting with another human, and that I feel is a bit sad. It's set up with the business traveller in mind (free wifi, work areas, places for meetings etc which is awesome) but as a businesses traveller sometimes you want a friendly face to greet you when you come "home" at night and to perhaps remember your name. In the age of technology, have we forgotten the art of human customer service?

It's a three room, self contained unit which as clean and had every thing I needed to be comfortable. A washer and dryer were also available. Food and Drink A 7-11 was close by and a subway if you're starving like I was. Gaining entry I did have a challenge gaining access as according to the signs I had showed up after reception hours 8:30pm, Sunday. No where on the confirmation letter did it say reception closed at 8:30pm but 10:00pm. I pressed the intercom button to speak to am after hours operator. The system wasn't working very well so I stood outside spelling my first and last name repeatedly as she could not hear me. I'm sure my voice reached an all new decibel level. This was not impressive for me, at all. If I'm coming into town this late again it's based on this reason alone that I will choose somewhere else to stay.

It also had a couple of decent beers on tap as well, which, once again, should be all that surprising. Yet, with all the bonuses, this certainly wasn't a favourite pub. In fact, I found that the service was somewhat lacking, at least when I was here. Sure, it was midday, but honestly, I sort of was expecting better.

The lockers were plenty big enough for my backpack and it's always nice to have your own sockets at your bed. The women's bathroom was pretty clean, but the ventilation system wasn't the best so it would get really hot in there. Kitchen was nice and the rooftop was also good! It is a little bit of a walk to get to any of the main things to do, so be prepared for that! Staff was very helpful to me when I needed to find a tailor, a request they're probably not used to.

Like a good visit to any city, I planned on spending as little time in the room as possible and as much time as possible seeing things and people. With that in mind, I really didn't care what the room was like (as long as it had a bed and a shower). So I was pleasantly surprised by rad features like free WiFi and a balcony with a rather pretty view of the city. The woman at the reception desk was very friendly, and informed me of another advantage of the location; the City Cat ferry service stops just a short walk away (I took a ride at night, it's also very pretty). Being in Kangaroo point, you're only a couple of streets from the cliffs. The Kangaroo Point cliffs are great to walk along and beneath at any time but I think they're best at sunset. I didn't get a chance to try the food at the Wellington, opting for cheap snacks from the IGA and the Shafston Hotel across the road. Clean rooms, friendly staff, good location, affordable price. The Wellington is a pretty good choice if you plan on staying in Kangaroo Point.
