Nice old Queenslander
This is a great old house that has been done up beautifully and feels like you are stepping back in time. There is a lovely view out to south bank and the city from the verandahs and even though it's near the road, it is so peaceful. You can hear frogs chirping in the early evening. The white room has a detached bathroom with a lovely bath. The bed was comfy and the room spacy. There are quite a few stairs, so bear this in mind if you have heavy bags or problems walking up or down stairs. Parking is on the road or there are a few spots within the property. Breakfast each morning was self service and you could come as you please during breakfast hours. We had 2 kids under 7 with us, and were still made to feel welcome. All in all this is a lovely place to stay, only minutes away from South bank, West End and a short drive to the City. Everything is close by.

Beautiful small hotel in a fantastic location
Beautiful property in a great location, but I'm not sure if it will continue to be a hotel for long as it is currently for sale. I stayed in the Loft room, which has a couple of comfortable couches for relaxing and enjoying the view of the city. The 2 biggest drawbacks to that particular room was all the stairs and the bathroom. Due to the roof there isn't a proper shower in the en-suite, which some people might find difficult, however there is a comfortable looking bath. The house is stunning, the managers friendly, and there is a nice atmosphere. The continental breakfast is fine, but has limited hours, so may not be available if you are planning an early checkout. It is an short walk to the West End shops and restaurants and an easy walk to Southbank.

Unique and wonderful
Bernadette was a wonderful host. After 28 hours of traveling from the States, I was overjoyed when she had my room cleaned so I could check in early. She went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The house is wonderful and unique, full of character with very comfortable rooms. Easy walking to a variety of local ethnic restaurants.

Disappointed
Loved the building...comfy bed ,great views and loved that was close to Southbank,Westend.. certainly bathroom needs a clean ..grout black ,and could not stand in shower ,one small soap,no tissues.. spa didn't work, no coffee machine in room and nothing in bar fridge( except 2 waters a a few tiny milks)as advertised, had to ring management for room to be serviced ..and if there was change room ,shower downstairs where pool located...response was' thats the beauty of staying in the loft!!' ( we didn't suggest the loft , when we booked was only room available) No toilet near pool , refrigerator, near pool was not turned on (30 degree Day)....management said when we checked in toilet on floor below loft was available to use..as my husband had had a knee replacement he found the loft bathroom impossible to use...the next day all other toilets in building were key locked and couldn't be used....except to go up several flights of stairs...in particular we were at pool area both days and this was extremely in convenient ..just felt management had no idea of 'hospitality'! Only 5 rooms they lease and only 1 other guest was there the weekend.....Management certainly were not connected to guests....shame as Franklin Villa has a lot going for it ..

Like stepping back in time
Was like steeping back in time, but with all the modern luxuries. The place from the gardens to the rooms are all so well kept & clean. These huge high comfortable beds, gardens with special little discoveries. What a view you get. Perfect fresh breakfast to get you ready for the day.

A place of classic environment and interesting story. Overall a pleasant stay. The city view of the attic room is wonderful, but it is bit narrow in space especially in bathroom.
