5.0
Close proximity to the Exhibition Centre, reasonably inexpensive pricing.
The whole place needs quite a bot of TLC. An ironing board and iron on the room would be useful; the laundry facilities were woeful indeed. Got woken up at around 2 am in the morning of Friday, 10th May by the fire alarm going off because of an inconsiderate guest smoking. Some of the reception staff were unfriendly. This place could’ve been so much better than what it was, which is a shame as it is a historic hotel. I would like to say I’d return, but I honestly can’t.

Strategic position.
Music from pubs too loud, hotel not quiet in the night, people screaming in the street in the night, even around 4 am, no one does anything for make that change.
Two nights there and sleep only around 4 hours per night!

Staff were friendly enough
Room was large
Close to the sea
- I thought it was suspicious that my door was open when I arrived at check-in. I realised quickly that my room has a damp/mould problem and they had been airing it out.
The mould problem is BAD.
- My room was humid as soon as the door was closed.
- My room's window was just black frosted glass and couldn't be opened, so the humidity couldn't leave.
- I heard water dripping in my walls/ceilings during the night, all night. The building is very leaky
- AC blew damp mouldy air onto my face all night, causing me to wake at around 4am with painfully blocked sinuses and a really bad headache
- Toilet was broken and kept filling up all night
- I could hear my neighbour using their toilet as though they were in the room with me. Very gross
- I'm still awaiting my refund as I left after just one night and stayed the remaining 7 nights elsewhere
- Free WiFi was nonexistent. Like, you connect to a WiFi signal (which has full bars) but the WiFi itself appears to be shared across the whole building. I couldn't even Google local restaurants, never mind call home via WhatsApp. As a remote worker this was a major issue
- I spoke to reception and was told they couldn't move me to a new room
- Upon check-in they take a non negotiable $100 key deposit from you. I've had key deposits before but nothing more than $20. This felt exploitative
- I was told I would be fined over $1000 if my room's fire alarm went off, and was told that steam from my shower would trigger the fire alarm even if the door was closed, and that fire alarms and evacuations were a daily occurrence. I didn't really need to feel anxious about taking a shower, nor that I'd be woken up at a moment's notice to evacuate the building.
- it felt malicious to be threatened with a hefty fire alarm fine if Hide's faulty fire alarm systems were oversensitive
- breakfast is cheaper if booked in advance.

Location, value for money & clean
Carpet in the hall way of level 1 need replacing as trip hazards.

Great location with Woolies across the road and the Irish pub within staggering distance of our room :-)
The lift between floors is a bit slow
2.0
The TV didn't work and the room phone didn't work, I reported this 4 times and no action was taken.
The house keeping staff are over committed and each day did not tidy my room nor replenish items such as toilet rolls had to find a house keeper to ask to get one.
3.0
The location only
Very old room; unacceptably noisy as the Irish Tavern is below and ‘thumping’ till 3:00 am. Don’t stay there if you want a quiet night and want to sleep.

The Location was so perfect its unbelievable.
I think it would be great to have smoking on the balcony.
9.0
The location is just perfect only a small walk to the Esplanade. The bus stop was nearby. A few nice restaurants nearby and just above the PJ Pub
The balcony can be used as it is just awesome maybe allow the vistors to have a drink there and a specific smoking area will help.

Central location
No staff to help with check in when we arrived after midnight. Very old style accommodation which hasn’t been recently updated.
9.0
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and very comfy. The bed was fabulous. Location was spot on for everything - supermarkets, restaurants, the reef terminal and not too far from the airport either. Price extremely reasonable.
We couldn’t use the safe as the key was missing however I think that was an isolated case. The only reason it’s 9/10 and not 10/10

Bed was nice and comfortable.
8.0
The room was comfortable and the reception staff invariably helpful.
We were attracted to Hide's by the photo of a traditional looking Queensland hotel. This is a little deceptive in that the main part of the hotel is a renovated attached section. That said Hide's guests can still use the very attractive balcony for breakfast and at other times. Rooms are also still available in the traditional part though only with shared bathrooms.
