Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Emporium Hotel South Bank for its prime location, providing convenient access to the train system, ferries, South Bank shops & restaurants, and the city. The rooftop area, complete with a bar restaurant, pool, sauna, and steam room, is a highlight for many, contributing to a fabulous start or end to the day. The spacious rooms are appreciated for their modern design, rain showers, comfortable beds, and good amenities; some guests, however, have noted occasional cleanliness issues. Little touches like the videos inside the lifts and chocolates on the pillow add to the experience.

Excellent Getaway

really good service home comfort attentive staff secure feeling
The staff ensured I felt secure. Bobby, in particular, were pretty good too make sure every detail was taken care of. The service I received was first class (it was really good). I felt completely at home .
I found that the hotel now operates with a cashless policy, not ideal.

The location made the city so accessible for me. It is perfect for walking along Southbank. I could easily take in many dining experiences and walk to the Performing Arts Centre.

The hotel is close to many restaurants. The hotel is also a short walk to the city center. I found walking to the CBD to enjoy some shopping via the Botanical Gardens to be another treat (it was quite enjoyable).

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

unreliable room service cold food
The location was great, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
The room service proved unreliable. Items were missing from my order, and the food arrived cold. The lack of attention to detail detracted from my experience and wasn't something I expected at this hotel.

mixed experience due to service flaws

partially clear glass door missing door stoppers
The fundamentals were acceptable. The bed was comfortable.
we booked adjoining rooms, however, they were connected through a shared vestibule with a partially clear glass door. it let in light , made it difficult to sleep. also, there were no door stoppers provided, so we had to improvise to keep the heavy doors open.
