Brisbane Quarters
The room isn't large, but it comfortably fit us as two adults and one child. We originally booked for two nights, but due to traveling with our little one, we only stayed for one night. I should have paid closer attention to the policy stating children under 18 aren’t allowed—my mistake for not reading the fine print. Still, the owner was incredibly understanding and let us check in anyway, which really meant a lot and saved us from having to find shelter on the street. Huge thanks for your kindness and flexibility. Brisbane is such a wonderful city, and this experience made it even more memorable. Definitely planning to return!
K2 Brisbane
Staying at K2 Brisbane was an absolute delight! The location is perfect if you're looking to be close to Lang Park and all the vibrant energy of Fortitude Valley. Just a short walk from Caxton Street, it’s ideal for exploring the local scene without needing to travel far. My room was clean, secure, and well-equipped—perfect for someone who spends most of their time out exploring the city. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in and any requests a breeze. Overall, this place offers great value with a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Brisbane.
Banana Backpackers
Banana Backpackers stands out as one of the few hostels in Brisbane that truly welcomes long-term stays—something I really appreciate. The staff go above and beyond: friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. When I arrived with no job lined up for the week, they actually helped me secure a temporary position—such a lifesaver! The vibe here is warm and welcoming, with kind people from all over the world. It’s not too far to walk into the city center, making it perfect for exploring on foot. Clean, well-kept, and full of positive energy, this place feels like home. If you're looking for a reliable, community-driven hostel with real support and great value, this is the one.
Cathedral Place
We chose Cathedral Place because family members live in the complex, making it super convenient for us. The common areas are bright and well-maintained, and the pool area is lovely—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The apartments are privately owned, so communication happens directly with individual owners, which felt personal and reassuring. Booking was smooth, and key pickup followed exactly what was promised—no surprises. I stayed in a studio on the pool level, and while the windows are shaded by lush plants (great for privacy), it does make the room a bit dimmer than expected. That said, the ceiling fans are a real highlight—once you figure out how to turn them on (a quick tip would help!), they’re fantastic for keeping cool. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality appliances, including a great fridge, plus a washer and dryer if needed. The Murphy bed is surprisingly comfortable—ideal for a cozy night’s sleep. The only two small drawbacks: the bathroom has a noticeable drain odor, which might be an issue across multiple units; and the sofa could use a little more stuffing for better support. Still, the shower itself is excellent—strong water pressure and even spray. Overall, given the unbeatable location and convenience, I’d definitely stay here again.
M&A Apartments Brisbane
I rarely leave reviews, but after being completely ignored and essentially charged $601 for work that never happened, I feel compelled to warn other renters. I paid for tile repairs—removal of a damaged tile, installation of a new one, regrouting, and cleanup—but not a single step has been completed. The money was taken without hesitation, yet no work has been done. To make matters worse, the company has a documented history of mishandling tenant funds: when we first moved in, they held onto our bond for over six weeks—well beyond the legal 10-day window—and I have proof of this. Despite repeated requests, they’ve failed to provide any photographic evidence that the repair was ever carried out. If it were done, I’d like to see clear photos showing the new tile actually matches the existing ones—especially since they rejected my own quotes (between $100–$200) on grounds of poor color match, which I sourced myself. Since February, every email I’ve sent has gone unanswered. No response. No accountability. If the work was somehow completed, where’s the proof? There is none. This pattern of charging for labor that never occurred, delaying refunds, and ghosting tenants feels all too familiar. Unless I receive a full refund (minus the cost of the tile itself) immediately, I will escalate this formally. This was just one issue among many during our six-month tenancy. Avoid this company unless you’re ready to chase your own money and be ignored when problems arise. They lack transparency, communication, and basic professionalism.
Astor Metropole Hotel
My stay at Astor Metropole Hotel has been absolutely fantastic so far. The staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to help with any request, making the experience truly welcoming. I stayed in a room with a balcony, and the view overlooking the Brisbane River and city skyline is breathtaking—especially during sunset. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the train station, putting all major attractions within easy reach. Everything about this hotel feels thoughtfully designed, from the clean, modern rooms to the attentive service. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Brisbane—it’s a top-tier choice with outstanding value.
Spring Hill Gardens Apartments
We traveled to Brisbane with our family and couldn’t have been luckier finding Spring Hill Gardens Apartments in the heart of the city. The moment we walked in, we were impressed by the spacious layout—much more roomy than a standard hotel room. The fully equipped kitchen made cooking at home super convenient: stove, oven, dishwasher, plates, cutlery—all the essentials. Even better, there’s a washer and free laundry detergent provided! We booked a unit with a cozy little backyard, which became our peaceful retreat amid the busy CBD buzz. Late check-in was no issue—we arrived well past office hours, but the site manager warmly welcomed us and handled everything professionally and efficiently. Their hospitality truly stood out. For families or travelers who value comfort, space, and a home-like feel, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!
The Metropolitan Spring Hill
I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Brisbane! The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, with everything within walking distance. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window and a private balcony that offered stunning views of the city skyline. I loved waking up to natural light and fresh air every morning. All the facilities were modern and well-maintained, making the stay incredibly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and always smiling. It felt like being welcomed by friends rather than just another guest. If you’re looking for a stylish, convenient, and relaxing stay in Brisbane, this hotel is an absolute must-book. Truly outstanding in every way.
The Sedgebrook on Leichhardt
The manager was incredibly helpful during check-in and check-out, and always available whenever we needed assistance. The location is excellent—close to Brisbane’s city center but quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful stay. We were in a unit on the side, away from Leichhardt Street, which made it very serene, especially at night. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with all essentials included. Easy access to public transport makes exploring the city a breeze. It’s rare to find such a great balance between convenience and tranquility. Definitely a top choice for travelers who value comfort, quiet surroundings, and friendly service. Would book again without hesitation.
Ridge Apartment Hotel
Staying at Ridge Apartment Hotel was an absolute delight. The apartment was spacious, immaculately clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed—perfect for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The view of the Brisbane CBD from the window was breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city lights came on. We loved having access to the rooftop pool and well-maintained fitness center—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Located just under a kilometer from the central station and the main shopping strip, getting around town was super easy. We had a fantastic time, enjoyed every moment, and appreciated how thoughtfully designed the space was. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home with great value and charm.
Nightelier Mitchelton (The Brook)
I was initially drawn to this hotel because of the convenient parking, but ended up staying longer than planned—definitely a pleasant surprise! The room was spotless, quiet, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. While I appreciated the overall comfort and value, the breakfast was a bit repetitive—mostly bread-based every day with limited variety. Still, that small downside didn’t take away from the great experience. For travelers looking for a clean, comfortable base near transit options, this is a solid choice. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to others.
Alex Perry Hotel & Apartments
Staying at Alex Perry Hotel & Apartments was an absolutely delightful experience. The room was spacious and beautifully designed with a Greek-inspired vibe that really stood out, especially in the evening when the lighting created such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and close to great dining options. I was impressed by how well-priced it was for the quality and comfort. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in and any questions a breeze. Overall, this place offers outstanding value and charm. Highly recommend it—definitely my top pick for Brisbane next time around.
