Hotel Diana Woolloongabba

8/10 Good
"Our evening check in staff was very helpful orienting us to the carpark, local eateries and convenience store, they also provided fresh cookies when we discovered an open half empty packet in the room. The complimentary fruit on the check in desk was a nice touch. The room was comfortable, although more dated than it appeared online. The morning check in staff could have given better directions to the South Bank cafes, unfortunately we got a bit lost and only succeeded in finding closed restaurants. Overall we had a pleasant stay, the local kebab shop has probably the best takeaway chips and kebabs, the local Vietnamese bakery was good and the neighbouring Fables cafe was a great brunch location."
