Staying at Essence Apartments Chermside with my friends was such a great experience! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the heart of Brisbane, with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shopping options nearby. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and well-equipped, especially the kitchen which made cooking together so much fun. We spent our evenings preparing meals and enjoying good vibes with friends—felt like home away from home. The quiet neighborhood offers a nice balance between convenience and relaxation. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, style, and a stress-free stay in Brisbane.

Staying at The Chermside Apartments was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment I arrived, I could tell the team truly cared about guest comfort—especially those visiting local hospitals, which was incredibly thoughtful. Check-in was seamless and welcoming, thanks to the warm, attentive staff. What stood out most? The complimentary healthy breakfast—fresh, delicious, and a great way to start the day. Free on-site parking is a huge plus for travelers driving in. And yes, that Ferrari in the lobby might be a mystery (I’m not even into cars!), but it definitely adds a touch of class. The room itself was clean, well laid out, with a comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning. Everyone in the building seemed friendly and approachable. Being just a short walk to Chermside Shopping Centre made exploring easy and convenient. At this price point, it’s hard to beat—great value overall. One minor note: the rooms aren’t fully soundproofed, so you can hear some noise from neighboring units or hallways. Also, the balcony had a faint smell early in the evening, which made me hesitant to dine outside—but by later in the night, the air cleared up, and I actually enjoyed leaving the door open for a breeze while sleeping. All in all, this place exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a genuinely kind atmosphere.

Staying at Chermside Motor Inn was a breeze, especially for us city-newbies who aren’t used to navigating urban traffic—we even walked to Westfield Shopping Centre with no hassle.

Bonus points for having an Aldi right next door—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials without having to go far. A great find for a comfortable, convenient stay.

It’s a perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and value—definitely my go-to choice in Brisbane if I’m back.

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!

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!
