Spectacular location on the Brisbane river. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but the decor…read moreis a bit dated. Wonderful bed and spectacular large tub. Bath gel that bubbles is one of the sundries provided. My room has a spectacular view of the river and bridge. The service is friendly but I had to call twice for more hangers. Several times the phone rang endlessly when trying to call room service. The front desk finally picked up when calling from the room. I wanted a drink by the pool and no one ever answered the phone so I gave up. I have never experience such difficulties at any other hotel, let alone a luxury hotel. They did send someone right away when my bathroom TV was not working. I did enjoy my week long stay. I am feeling benevolent today so they did not lose a star for not having CNN on the TV. I could not believe my eyes and it took about 5 minutes to sink in. I have never stayed at a hotel without CNN! BBC News was available thankfully. I assume with the choice of 8 FOX stations that the hotel chain is owned by the Murdoch family. I did enjoy the Sky News station. Right wing commentary is more pleasing when the interviewer has an Aussie accent. The concierge, valets, maids and front desk personnel were excellent and accommodating. Management needs to resolve the issues with the room service department ASAP. They are damaging your brand.

Come here for beautiful views, business, relaxation, romance. It's all catered for…read more After seven nights of poor sleep, I sank into the beautiful bedding and had such a wonderful sleep. Whilst things weren't perfect, they were very close to it, and the parts that weren't were very minor dealt with in a way that was human, rather than rude. I found that the staff really went out of their way to meet all requests. I'm giving this five stars based on a seasonal special on the room. I found The Stamford was a step up from the self rated five stars in Sydney. I'm tempted to remove a star for the excessive internet prices, however it didn't matter too much since I came with WiFi enabled devices. Still, we're in the day and age where 5 star hotels need to provide this service at low or zero cost. Whoever learns this first will have a lot of happy customers. Small things that were pleasant surprises: a Vidal Sassoon 2100 Pro hair dryer dried my hair in two minutes; much nicer that the standard wall mounted mini dryers. A shower rack that would actually hold a thing or two, spare blanket in closet stored in plastic to keep it dust free, saucers in buffet area with a central impression to help support the cup. A phone by the toilet, television in the bathroom, motion detecting lights in the bathroom, Do Not Disturb is controlled by a switch near the bed, fold out minibar with well placed power outlet for kettle, 42" television. Improvements that could be made include more streamlining for Concierge (they seem to do their best, but expect a wait), and changing the repetitive pan pipe music in The Brasserie. The motion detecting lights in The Brasserie toilets don't have motion detectors in the private stalls. If you are in there for 10 minutes or so, the lights go out, and you'll be left in pitch blackness. I had to do a pants down waddle into the main public area of the toilets, and it was so dark I had to feel my way. I thought the oversight was hilarious. More important things: sumptuous beautiful white bedding, beautiful views, polite service. Centrally controlled lamps make for nice lighting.

Recommended for a splurge, and nice views of the Brisbane skyline from across the river.

The rooms may be small, but what they lack in size they make up for in design and style... and frankly, if you're travelling to see your room, why are you travelling? The service is perfection - personal, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Sure, it isn't located smack in the middle of the CBD, but given it's walking distance to James St, just off Brunswick street and an abundance of galleries, stores, cafes, restaurants, bars and even a cinema, this is the perfect location for a weekend getaway. If you're clever, time your stay to coincide with one of their art exhibitions, where art is displayed on walls all around the hotel. What you MUST do however, is have breakfast on the balcony. Heaven.

I am a past wait staff employee of the Bistro. Just to get that out there. I know that sounds…read morebiased - but I feel it gives me a very accurate idea of the inner workings and quality of the food. I ate there every single day for a couple of years. I paid for all of my meals and I felt the prices were very reasonable. I could even afford to eat there 5 days a week on a traineeship wage. I never got sick of the food. They were always updating the menu. The kitchen staff took their job seriously. There was very strict monitoring of the staff to make sure quality and cleanliness were maintained. I tried every meal on the menu, the ingredients in each dish were complimentary. Basically it was bar food with a restaurant flare to it. Simple, yet elegant. The food was of very high quality - and it was fresh and prepared on site. I know this will probably get in the untrustworthy filter. But personally - I wouldn't review anything I wasn't giving 4 or 5 stars. I've worked in other places I would not review at all. I was simply impressed enough by The Manly Hotel to feel inspired to write a review years after leaving.

Anyway, I decided to come back here again, even if just to refamiliarize myself with this pub, and it turned out that it was great. It certainly does try to appeal to a wide range of people, namely because of the selection of beers that are available on tap. In fact, this pub is actually pretty cool, with some really friendly staff, and of course they also have a lovely verandah area which gives you the option of some people watching as well. Yes, this is definitely a great pub.
