I always love staying at the Burke and Wills Hotel when in Toowoomba. The atmosphere and decor are of a high quality, and the rooms are very comfortable.....cannot fault it. The staff also I have found, is always very pleasant and welcoming. However, this time I was unfortunate enough to strike possibly the only member of staff who was decidedly abrupt, unhelpful and annoyingly robotic....an older lady. Nevertheless I am not allowing this to stop me from giving an overall 5 star rating.....I am putting it down to a one off. The hotel`s central position is also great. Right smack in the centre of the city, and just across from the car park to the Empire theatre, which I attend in the evening for a show. The dining room is really very good with good solid food and attentive professional staff. I will certainly will be staying here again when next in town.…

Clean. Small room, but plenty big enough for a night. Good to have dining facilities on-site. Staff very friendly. Would stay again. Centrally located. Would be good to have one card validated on checking-in for parking, but presume that would reduce car parking for patrons not staying at the hotel.

The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly coming around and cleaning up plates. There was a variety of food to select for breakfast and staff were continually refilling the food. It would be great if they had waffles or pancakes at the buffet and muesli to go with the fruit and yogurt. The bacon was fatty but you could easily pull it off. We were here for Mother’s Day and were hoping for some balloons or flowers on the table. Overall we a very good restaurant, I will be back.

Visited overnight for a show at the Empire. We’re bumped from our original booking at Oaks so we’re pleasantly surprised. The hotel still has lot of its original 70s features but has been nicely modernized. The room was petite but functional. Reception service was fine though not overly personable. Service in the restaurant/bar was, however, excellent. Responsive, attentive, and friendly. These folks do customer service exceptionally well.

Location is 5 stars Staff 5 stars Neat and tidy and back in its day; the 70s it would have been top of the list but the outside is very old and tired. Fortunately the inside of the rooms and entry still has a classy charm. We enjoyed the style of the classy old classic

Lovely, clean and friendly place to stay. Great for a night or business. Stayed in deluxe queen suite. A little small and not the greatest bed to sleep in, but still very lovely place to stay and would stay again. Meals in restaurant was lovely. Highly recommended
