We stayed here for three nights in early October, 2004. Driving in to the driveway and pulling around to the door, you'll immediately feel comfortable by the surrounding plants and fountain. I really have no idea how big a hotel it is, but it felt small and cozy.
The service was good, especially since they moved us after we had already been in our room for a few hours. Upon reflecting that we had specifically asked for two double beds (well, we wanted something that gave more sleeping room than one double bed) when we booked online, my husband called to the reception and was told we could get a different room if we wished.
I definitely would recommend this hotel to others. It's in a handy and apparently safe location within Brisbane. The biggest disappointment with this "bed and breakfast" deal we got was that breakfast was terrible! For some reason the crumpets were all dried out, and most of the fresh fruit was tasteless, etc. But for all that, now that I see that we paid only $78/night, that's not a bad deal!
The beds were comfortable, both of the bathrooms we'd had were clean and neat (the first room had a newly renovated bath with a shower; the second was not new but had a bathtub and had nothing to complain about), there was adequate storage in drawers and closet, a small refrigerator, an ironing board, a color TV with in-house movies, AND an outdoor pool! Plus there is free underground parking in their garage, with easy access to the elevators.
The outdoor patio is a great place to sit and have drinks in the late afternoon to watch the sun set.

Go up the hill and turn left onto St. Paul's Terrace... Just follow the road which will turn into Leichhardt, then into Wickham Terrace.... the hotel is on the right hand side.Website: http://www.albertparkhotel.com.au/Location.htm Other Contact: Fax +61-(0)7-3832-1290

This is not the finest hotel I have lived in, nor is it the most expensive. Standard and service is quite OK, but the homey atmosphere is what I liked most about it. And the view of the railway station, offcourse :-) We spent two periods there in january 2002, all together 14 nights.
Tourist agents have different deals with hotels in Australia (as in many other countries), we saw the same room advertized for AUD 112, 113 and 119. One thing is sure, though, it is never cheaper to go directly to a hotel without pre booking. We made our deal through an agent at Roma Street Station and paid AUD 82 per night for one adult and one child, breakfast included. At that time the australian dollar was about half of the US one.
On the first picture you can see how close the hotel is to downtown Brisbane. There is an entrance to Roma Street Parklands right across the street, visible on the car crash picture which is taken from our window.
The manager (owner?). I believe the hotel was privately owned and not part of any big chain. He was present, working among his employees, warm and friendly. On our second arrival he himself picked us up from the railway station and welcomed us home :-). And when we left, he gave my son presents.
