The Chermside Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Good value. Good location. Clean property and friendly staff."

Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill

10/10 Excellent

"My experience at the Mercure was wonderful, staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was tidy and the bed was so comfortable. There was a pair of old socks left in the corner of our room and a half eaten can of pringles in the bedside drawer. Everything looked very clean and tidy however."

Amora Hotel Brisbane

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at this hotel with my three children in a twin room. We arrived early (around 9.30am) and were able to leave our luggage before returning for 2pm check-in. They did ask if we wanted to check in to an already available room, but it was an extra $150, so we decided to just leave the bags and wait. We loved the pool (and the fact that it is open from 5am-10pm was a plus) and there were always dry towels available. The room itself wasn’t huge, but had a nice area with a couch and we had a bit of a view of the city. The beds were very comfortable and the decor was nice and simple, you could tell it had been updated in the past few years. The mini bar is empty - you just order from the room service menu - which wasn’t an issue for us, but I would have liked some other herbal tea options in the room. The location was great for us, it’s only a short (but hilly) walk from Central Station and was quite close to the Riverside ferry terminal as well. Once we had navigated the best way to get to and from the hotel (the underpass/overpass situation was a bit confusing at first) we found it quite easy to get out and about."

Imperial Motel Windsor

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Imperial Motel Windsor was good. The room was very clean, the bed was nice and comfortable and the shower had very hot water with great water pressure. The motel seemed quite full with guests and there was enough on site parking for everyone. In some of the other comments people had mentioned having difficulty with the keyless entry, I found it very easy. The only downside was there was no toaster or microwave in the the room although there is a microwave downstairs in the foyer area. If your elderly or have mobility issues you might want to try and pre-arrange a ground floor room as there is 3 levels and only stairs. The stairs could be a little tricky if you had heavy or extra baggage to carry. I would definitely recommend this motel as it's pricing is exceptional compared to other motels in the same area."
