Dirty rooms Cockroaches seen roaming

The advertising photo for the rooms were nothing like the room They had my booking for Monday night not the night I book for also on coming back to room after checking time it was wide open so very disappointed and would not recommend going there

I was so disappointed by The Cliff House. We arrived after 5pm and had a hard time getting our keys. There was another gentleman there having the same issue, so I know it wasn't just us. The hotel is very run down. We could see light through the door from the hallway outside. The bathroom needed a good scrub (I refused to shower and just washed my hair using the handheld because I didn't have shower shoes/flip flops). My husband killed a cockroach crawling on the wall (not unusual in Brisbane in the summer, but this was winter...). When we asked for new batteries for the remote, the person popped them out and put the same ones back in. I've stayed in some rough places over the years, and this pushed the limits of being okay. Glad we only stayed one night...

Has the charm and decor of a morgue. With added cockroaches.

The room smelled. There was no untensils or Tea bags. It was so noisy from other rooms,didn't get much sleep. You could smell poeple smoking in the building. The sheets were all marked with black marks.

The cliff house at kangaroo is A BUDGET ACCOMMODATION HOUSE/MOTEL. the staff do not hassle the clients the staff are only too happy to be of service when needed but you don't really need them except for check in. The cleaner is a friendly person. The gentleman who owns it busts his butt maintaining the premises. There are beautiful mannered elderly people living there long term and they are looked after and they know that they are cared about. It is fairly quiet considering the amount of people in the area. Yes it's a four star system in my opinion it could be better and it could be slot worse. The air con is excellent the showers have excellent heat and pressure. You can feed the brush tailed possums out the back I counted four in a 50 square metres area last night. Total cost of 5 nights stay $580 that is the cheapest deal I could find.

With this place, you really get what you pay for, the room was small, no windows, the walls looked like they needed to be repainted, the shower didn't seem to be cleaned in quite a while, the smoke alarms kept going off all night.. At least the bed was comfortable! I didnt really deal with staff, I called up to try and organise a late check in and I was rushed on the phone, "Yeah, you'll get an email. Okay??? Byeeeeee." No email... only for me to call up another 2 to 3 times until it finally got sorted.. like I said, you get what you pay for.

We liked that it was affordable for us and close to Kangaroo Point cliffs and cafe. It seems like a little old boarding house and has a very long history. The reception staff were very friendly. The room was clean and simple. I nearly froze during the night as there was only one blanket per bed and the air conditioner while letting me set it to 30 degrees did not work. I tried to ring the office number but because I had come home late, around 11pm no one answered. The office staff let me know they could have provided more blankets early in the evening if I had asked. If I had have been warm it would have been a nice stay. I was concerned that it sounded like people were running around on the floor above us, all night. We have no idea what the sounds were coming from and were grateful that it had high ceilings. The room has the same layout in design as the advertised image but that image was perhaps photoshopped with different paint work, bed linen and blind. The room has a simple curtain. The shower was simple and had good hot water. Coffee satchels and milk was provided, it would be nice to include some tea bags too. If anyone wanted to stay here and were worried about security I wouldn't stay here as anyone could walk up the lane and into the B house. The door to our room had a simple press the button in lock.

Great location on Kangaroo Point. Superb cafe across the intersection. It's budget but chic. Bed and shower. Bar fridge and teakettle. It was perfect for me!

Great place to stay and great staff
