Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We are travelling for business, and looked at the location for the affiliated accommodation provider and were not impressed. After the previous not of being in very poor accommodation we drove around Rockhampton and was impressed by the way Edge presented themselves. Their staff were very hospitable and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the whole room was beautiful and clean! Highly recommend! We will be back for sure.

I spent 2 nights at Edge apartments last week while in Rockhampton.
Check in was quick and friendly, and I was advised to park anywhere available in the carpark. Going into the carpark, there was nothing available and I ended up parking on the street. On the second night, again I drove through the car park but there were no spaces available, so also ended up parking on the street.
The room was basic but comfortable and clean. A reverse cycle air conditioner was included, and there was a fridge, sink and microwave in the room. Wifi is provided free of charge and it works. The room was incredibly hot when I arrived at it, but after an hour the aircon had worked and cooled it down.
There is an Indian restaurant and bar on the ground floor, which I highly recommend. Excellent food. It is a short walk to the shopping centre, and there is a river nearby which is good for walking along.
As a big benefit, the Edge does not charge any surcharge of paying by credit card. Hotels have been one of the most bullish industries in applying surcharges, despite enjoying more benefits than other industries (booking guarantees, pre-authorisations, charging for no-shows, charging for late charges, avoiding large cash transactions), so it was VERY welcome that the quoted price at Edge is the actual price that you pay without a surcharge.
I would happily stay here again for a short stay in Rockhampton (but bear in mind the lack of parking).

Spacious apartment in a good location I originally had booked into the Quest down the road at a rate of $189 night. When I saw how tiny the studio room was and that there was no balcony or outside area on the premises I moved to Edge Apartments.
$210 got me a very spacious 1 bedroom with separate lounge, laundry, bathroom & balcony Gallery kitchenette very well equipped including coffee pod machine with pods as well as the usual coffee & tea making facilities Table & chairs inside and on the balcony, TV & Air con in both lounge & bedroom Staff very friendly and accommodating Location on the river with a lovely walkway Restaurants all along the strip Parking undercover

A selection of images taken recently in our room during our stay. Very disappointed with the condition due to lack of maintenance and poor design ie: hit my head twice on the microwave (who thought placing it above the sink and jutting out was a good idea). The view outside is a grubby concrete wall, non smoking with an ash tray (really). Noisy and rusty AC near the bed which cannot be turned off as it supplies cooling to another room therefore precluding a restful nights sleep. Dangerous 240v lamp with no bulb installed in lounge area. Very poor lighting in the bathroom and $28 if you want to take the very average quality soap dispenser(yuk). Numerous other examples as well. At $215 per night my wife and I were naturally expecting something cleaner and better maintained.

Situated right on the Fitzroy river surrounded by quality restaurant choices, surprisingly lush scenery this hotel was a genuine surprise packet. The final stay on a 3 week road trip, I anticipated that this would just be a comfortable spot to stopover. Instead the Edge was one of the best stays of the trip. The fully equipped one bedroom apartment was super spacious (the kind of living space most 3 bedroom apartments have), clean, private and actually quite luxurious. Huge balcony, big shower, ice cold air conditioning and the list goes on.
As you’d expect in an apartment building, the pool is very small (only big enough for one person to swim laps in). I’d be concerned about the amount of room for swimmers on a hot Rockhampton summer day but you can’t expect much more.
Overall fantastic.

My experience in staying here has been amazing, for what was only meant to be a 2-night stay turned into a week stay due to some circumstances but this hotel could not be more accommodating and friendly and they make you feel so welcome and nothing is a hassle to them. The rooms are so tidy and credit to the cleaners and the toiletries are amazing also. The beds are also really comfy and the pool is also really good. It is a short walk down to the river and also close to pubs and coffee shops and restaurants and a 5-10 minute drive to Stocklands. i honestly cant fault it

I had to cancel my reservation owing to a business issue in Brisbane.
I rang to advise of the cancellation and was told I would be charged. I said owing to the fact that I was a regular customer I asked that I not be charged. The lady I spoke to on the phone said she would speak to her manager and call me back. I was not called back.
I have stayed at Empire & Edge regularly of the past years. I will never return.

The Edge has spacious, comfortable, fully self contained apartments. Many of these have fabulous views over the Fitzroy river and the surrounding country from the rooms and balcony. It’s an excellent location for an overnight stay or as a base for exploring the region and is the best place I have stayed in here. Supermarket, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops are all a short stroll away. Super friendly and helpful staff also.

I was super excited to go to Rockhampton for the first time. I drove 9 hours with my autistic 17 year old. I have a long family history here but had not visited before and I’m 46 years old.
When I arrived, happy to be at their hotel, their 3 staff at reception were transactional. These were the first people I meet in Rockhampton. Please know I stay in backpacks all the way to high end hotels but the staff made me feel like I was an imposter and I shouldn’t be in their hotel. There was nothing welcoming about them. Not even a “how has your day been “?. It was more, I’m charging you card, this is how your room fob works, see you later. This was the same for staff across the 2 days I stayed there. No asking if I needed anything or if they could be of assistance. Just nothing. Flatline. Aside from this, the apartment is 3.5 star. Really comfortable and a huge balcony with a great few. I couldn’t complain about a $220 per night charge.

You will be able to phone for a taxi (131 008), and it's a 5-minute ride to the hotel. Not sure about checking in at that time of night. You should check with the hotel. We found Reception staff very helpful. We had a few hours to kill after checking out at 1000, and the staff were happy to store our luggage in a secure cupboard till we picked it up in the afternoon before heading to the airport.
There are more places to choose from in the Rockhampton area.
