Clean, spacious and everything we needed!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Apr 2017via mobile
Excellent location in the heart of Brisbane. Great little kitchen and balcony which we enjoyed having a drink on while overlooking the city. The view was sensational!
The only negative was the smell in the hallway.
Overall, a neat apartment for an excellent price (we got a great deal). We would definitely come again!

Dear TeamSparkes,

Thank you for your recent 5 star review of your stay at Oaks Festival Towers.

I am delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay with us and found our location to be excellent. It is also great to hear you found the view from your apartment to be sensational. I do apologise however if you found the hallway to smell and I will be investigating this further to ensure you do not experience this on your future stays with us.

Thank you again for your valued feedback and we look forward to having you stay in the near future.

Kind regards,

Amber

Dear okkiAuckland,

Thank you for your recent review of your stay with us at Oaks Festival Towers.

I am pleased to see your found our location to be a positive of your stay, We are located in the heart of Brisbane City with a short walk to a range of Restaurants, Bars, The Treasury Casino, Queen Street Mall & the Botanic Gardens. We are in a great location for both Leisure and corporate guests alike.

I am however surprised to hear that you found your apartment to smell of cigarette as we have an extremely strict non smoking policy throughout the entire building and if anyone is to be found smoking inside an apartment we have the room professionally deodorised to eliminate the smell. In regards to the smell in the hallways. thank you for informing us of this and we will investigate this further to ensure this is not an ongoing issue.

We do appreciate your feedback to ensure we have the opportunity to continuously improve the standard of our apartment's.

We hope to have you stay again in the future.

Kind regards,

Amber

We were staying at the Oaks for a week in a double room apartment. The apartment had a kitchen / living room with a nice eating place, two rooms with separate bathrooms and a small balcony.
The hotel has a small fitness area, a pool and a place to have your own BBQ.
If you step out of the hotel you find places to eat or shop everywhere. Its really in the centre, 5 minutes from the hotel is queens mall.
The receptions is in principle nice, I just had one guy who needed to explain me how to behave as a customer. This attitude I didn't like too much. The rest of the staff is going a great job.

Dear Bjoern2,

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Oaks Festival Towers.

It was great to hear you found the proximity of the hotel close to places to eat and go shopping, as Festival Towers is only one block down from the Queen Street Mall in the heart of Brisbane City.

Also pleasing to read was that you found the apartment nice with a good eating area, and that you took advantage of the common areas where the pool, gym, and BBQ areas are located.

It was disappointing that one of the staff members you spoke to made you feel uncomfortable, and do apologise as this is never our intention. We will pass your feedback on to them.

We hope to see you again for a future stay.
Kind regards,
Stuart

Group of us stayed here in different rooms for a concert. Rooms are great. I requested more towels and pillows 7pm first night didn't happen. Cleaner came next day and put two towels in room and left everything else. Won't let you have more than six milk tubs for coffee whether there is one person or three.
Overall I like Oaks chain and stay in various ones from time to time. This one is in a fabulous location.
