I had a wonderful stay at The Johnson, mostly due to the modern, spacious room and excellent location. The pool area was a highlight, though the dining options nearby were quite limited on a Sunday night. I was pleased to find the staff helpful, and the late check-out offer was a fantastic bonus that allowed me to extend my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at The Johnson Brisbane, with its spacious, clean rooms and friendly staff being the highlights. The location is quiet yet conveniently close to attractions like St Andrew's Hospital. However, I did encounter minor issues like the parking process and some amenities not being fully functional, which could be improved.

My stay at The Johnson Brisbane was a mixed bag. On one hand, the art-themed design and friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere. On the other hand, I encountered a few hiccups with service and check-in procedures, which left me feeling frustrated at times. Overall, I appreciated the modern rooms and convenient location, though there are areas needing improvement.

Rooms

My deluxe studio room was clean and spacious, featuring a kitchenette which I found very helpful. However, I did notice some awkwardness in the bathroom layout, making it a bit cramped to use comfortably. The lack of a luggage rack was a minor inconvenience too.

Service

6.0

The service could definitely use some polishing. While I experienced friendly staff, the front of house seemed overwhelmed and lacked communication, especially during check-in. I had trouble with parking information and felt the staff could be more attentive to the guests' needs.

Location

9.0

The location was indeed convenient, being close to the city center and easily accessible from public transportation. It was quietly positioned on a hill, providing a nice balance of tranquility along with proximity to Brisbane's main attractions.

Dining

7.0

I enjoyed drinks at the restaurant, but didn't eat there. The breakfast options were good quality, though retrieving my meal vouchers was a bit of a hassle during check-in. I think a separate menu for hotel guests could enhance the experience.

Facilities

8.0

I appreciated the pool area, which looked inviting even if the water was too cold for my taste. The gym was well-presented, and having the option for a kitchen and grill near the pool was a nice touch for those wanting to socialize or host gatherings.
