4 tips to avoid booking the wrong Brisban

If you’ve decided on booking a Brisbane apartment for your upcoming holiday, then I must say you’ve made a great decision. Holiday apartments are far cheaper than Brisbane hotels, meaning that you’ll make the most of your hard-earned money.

However, this does not mean that you should book the first holiday apartment in Brisbane that you come across. Too many people suffer from booking the wrong Brisbane apartment and I don’t want to see the same happening to you.

As such, I thought that this would be a great time to list 4 tips to help you avoid booking the wrong Brisbane apartment. By following these tips, you’ll get a great apartment in Brisbane and have a wonderful holiday.

1. Not checking the location

Many people make the mistake of not checking the exact location when booking Brisbane apartments for their holiday.

This is a mistake which can cost you dearly. If you fail to check the location while booking, you may end up in an apartment which is far away from the tourist hubs. This means that you’ll have to shell out a lot of money on transportation.

Always take a look at the map to check the exact location of your Brisbane apartment before you make a booking.

At Bridgewater Terraces, you won’t face this problem. We’re conveniently located just outside Brisbane CBD and we’re close to the best that Brisbane has to offer. By staying at one of our holiday apartments, you’ll have no problems exploring our magnificent city on your holiday.

2. Not checking past reviews

Another big mistake to avoid when booking Brisbane apartments is failing to check past reviews. If you fail to check reviews and simply go by what an accommodation provider advertises, you’ll likely be very disappointed upon arrival.

To avoid this problem, simply open up TripAdvisor, or any similar website and check reviews before booking. You can trust these reviews as they are left by genuine customers such as yourself.

Here, at Bridgewater Terraces, we’re proud to state that we have always received great reviews from our guests. Check out our ratings and reviews on TripAdvisor to see for yourself why guests love the Brisbane apartments that we offer.

3. Not checking the facilities offered

Another common mistake which leads to people booking the wrong Brisbane apartment is not checking the facilities on offer. Failing to check for amenities means that you won’t have an idea what to expect from your accommodation. It is also very likely that you’ll have to spend extra on essential facilities that you need.

Before making a booking, always check what is being offered in detail to avoid disappointment upon arrival.

You won’t face any problems with facilities at Bridgewater Terraces’ holiday apartments. Our Brisbane apartments are fully self-contained and furnished with world class facilities and amenities. They include fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi and entertainment systems, free secure parking and much more.

By staying with us, you won’t need to spend anything extra on essential facilities.

4. Not checking for hidden costs

Finally, many people fail to check for hidden costs when booking Brisbane apartments. These people enjoy a great trip, only to realise that they have to pay much more than what they accounted for before leaving. To avoid this problem, make sure that your Brisbane apartment does not include any hidden costs.

At Bridgewater Terraces, our holiday apartments are available at very reasonable prices, with no hidden costs. All prices that you see listed on our website are all-inclusive, so why not stay with us to make the most of your holiday dollar!

Conclusion:

To avoid booking the wrong Brisbane apartment, you should consider the following tips. Don’t fail to check the location of the apartment, don’t miss out checking on past reviews, don’t forget to check the facilities offered and don’t forget to check for hidden costs. By following these tips, you are sure to get a great Brisbane apartment that will enhance your holiday experience.

Stopped there for 3 weeks. Good location, nice internal facilities. Rooms were not cleaned well enough. Dust here and there, plus found an old razor in the bathroom. however I would put 3.5 stars for overall experience which wasn't bad. My major concern is safety and security of the apartments. My car was broken into at night on secure underground parking. Car's door was broken and my personal belongings were stolen. Management told me they are not responsible for the damage and loss because of the signs they put on parking walls. This accident put my rating down to 1 star.If you have a car I would recommend to park it underground despite the secure gates installed.

Bridgewater terraces is the perfect place to stay for business or leisure. It is conveniently located within reach of Southbank, the CBD, local hospitals and convention centres ect. I stayed at the apartment for over 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed my time. I found the complex to be perfectly manicured and maintained, quiet and loved the cafe next doors. The river view is also very relaxing. The location is perfect for children and my kids loved walking through the gardens, splashing in the pool and walking to the nearby park and playground. Ray and Dennis in management were very helpful, attentive, compassionate and a pleasure to deal with.

Booked to stay at Bridgewater Terraces and looked forward to our visit. The views of the river are magnificent and this was the main, and as it turned out, the ONLY attraction.Initially the room looked OK until we discovered that it appeared NOT to have been cleaned! The old cooker was filthy and had to be scrubbed before we could use it. None of the cutlery or dishes were from same sets. The windows may have been wiped, but with a greasy rag. Having completed our own clean we sat down on a badly worn, sagging sofa which had stains and grease marks all over it. If that wasn't bad enough, the shower screen came off its rusty rails and there were many loose surrounding tiles. When the tumbler drier gave up, so did we and we checked out!Such a pity, Well manicured gardens and a fantastic location but the apartment interior was old and tattered and from our experience, very little effective management. Just to put the boot in, wifi is NOT free and is horrendously expensive. Stay here at your peril!!

Stayed here with a few guests and booked 3 rooms during February. Reception were only too kind and gave us really good tips on the Brisbane area. Rooms were spacious and quite modern. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

Stars rounded up because management were friendly. We got a neat well furnished apartment looking over the river. Appliances are modern but the washer and dryer are cheap. The dryer is faulty but useable if you jury-rig it. The bathroom floor drain doesnt have a trap so youre best off covering it to prevent air from venting out. Everything else was nice, the pool is a plus and the location is good.
