Best rooms

Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the rear (away from Annerley Road). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and low enough for quick lift access.

Request a high-floor room on the north or east side of the building, away from Boundary Street. Upper floors (10–18) minimise street rumble and offer better city views.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first or second floor facing Annerley Road — that stretch sees steady traffic, and the lower you are, the more engine and brake noise you'll catch. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor; the mechanism hums through the walls.

Avoid rooms on floors 2–4 facing Boundary Street; double-glazing is standard but Brisbane traffic starts early and weekend revellers can be audible. Also skip rooms near the lift core on any floor — the single bank of two lifts can be noisy in mornings and evenings.

Free, password at front desk; speed around 25 Mbps download (sufficient for streaming); no login portal, just network password
