Beautiful view of the beach and very easy access. Room was fine, but the bathroom could use a vanity around the basin.

We love old buildings. The atmosphere was great. The young concierge was extremely friendly and helpful telling all about the building and the activities in the area e.g. Art Gallery special exhibition as our stay in Brisbane was quite unexpected and we had booked 24hrs earlier. Would like an improvement with the bar/restaurant, friendly people but it needs a slight revamp.

The Dorsal is in a lovely location and very close to the beach. The hotel could do with an update, it’s looking quite tired for the daily rate charged.
