Morgan Suites
"Good location, it's only a 10min walk to south Brisbane train station. It was quiet and comfortable, but over priced for what it is. I'd stay again if they drop the prices to match the quality of accommodation."

Ivy and Eve Apartments by CLLIX
"Apartment was poorly maintained with visible parts that requires repair. It wasnt very clean either. Location was ok but being situated in the city means lots of noise and it was close to the train tracks which i did not realise so it means constant noise. Not suitable for families with young kids. ..."
