Hotels near The Kingfisher Seafood Cafe in Toowong

They have everything you could need for a few nights stay. It has a kettle, toaster, microwave, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, cutlery and crockery. The queen size bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows. Excellent shower pressure with a big shower head. A comfortable lounge, a nice tv on the wall and an air conditioner which was more difficult to use than just pressing the on/off button unfortunately but we managed. We had a room at the front of the motel, on the road side but we had no problem falling asleep...noise was not an issue. It is an older motel and has keyed locks instead of key cards but both the rooms and the building are secure and we felt very safe staying there. The free, unsecured wifi is acceptable but not always reliable. Still, better than some places we’ve stayed. They have a great folder in the room that has some information about local places to eat-in, take-away or get delivered...very helpful. All of the staff we met, including a housekeeper who we asked for help with the A/C were very friendly and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for anything better at a surprisingly modest daily rate. We would definitely stay again.

Loc Super convenient location on the corner of Jephson St and Sherwood Rd, with the popular Toowong Village Shopping Centre, a 10 minute walk away. The Toowong railway station can be accessed directly from the shopping centre. There are plenty of buses trundling up and down Sherwood Rd heading in various directions to the city or to the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre further south. The nearest ferry terminal is Regatta, less than a km away, but at the time of writing it is still under repair following last year's floods. Room We found the room to be clean, comfortable and spacious, with a large king bed, two bedside tables, each with a drawer and a lamp, a TV on the wall, and a handy desk for working at. On the balcony, was a small table and two chairs. There were plenty of power points to charge appliances and the downlights were strong enough for easy reading. The stylish touch lamp on the desk and standing lamp in the corner were useful for extra illumination. There was a hanging rail with about eight hangers. There were two sets of two drawers, one underneath the hanging rail and the safe, with one larger set underneath the TV. They were reasonably sized, but being virtually on the floor, they were super inconvenient to access. I can’t understand why the designers didn’t think of this, because it’s extra difficult to get down so low, especially if you’re a bit older, or with knee problems. Also in the room was a safe but that too required bending down. On top of the safe and below the hanging rail was a shelf to store one suitcase. The tea and coffee making facilities were also very difficult to access as they were rammed into a little shelf snuck between the drawers and the desk-top. The room though was quiet, being at the back of the property and therefore not facing directly onto either Jephson Street or Sherwood Rd, both busy roads. One could hear some noise from within the hotel as people walked up and down the corridor, but it was a minor inconvenience and most fellow guests seemed friendly and well behaved. There wasn’t much of a view, and the room just looked out onto the sprawling next door apartment complex, and to the right between the trees we could see Jephson Street, and the traffic going up and down, but the sound didn’t carry into the bedroom if the balcony door was kept closed. Bathroom The bathroom was not an en-suite, being situated in the passageway, between the front door and the bed. That was just as well, as it had a sliding door, which is never great for privacy, although it could be locked. But the bathroom was modern and stylish, and the water pressure in the shower was strong. A transparent glass wall separated the bathroom from the bedroom, which shocked me when I first saw it. I immediately phoned the reception to tell them that we needed another room due to the lack of bathroom privacy. But luckily, as reception pointed out to me, the glass has an inbuilt feature which, at the flick of a switch could turn i

A very comfortable hotel, not luxurious but very delicate and clean. recommend! It's across a small park from the city hall and it takes less than ten minutes to walk there. The location is very good and it's quiet to sleep in. If your English is not good, you can still communicate by email. You can pick up the keys by yourself. It is very simple. If you arrive at the store after 8pm, you need to contact them by email and give them your passport and credit card photos. They will help you check in in advance. They can rent it for more than 50 Australian dollars at the airport. Walk up a small corridor. There is a small iron box on the wall next to the door. Enter the password and you can get the key. There is a free bus at the door, but it is not needed at all. It is not far from any scenic spots. There are also free boats in this city. At night You can watch the night view, walk around the river, and stop at various places on both sides. On Monday morning, you can see trucks providing food, laundry, and bathing for homeless people at the door. Four times a week, you can also see this kind of charity in the park down the slope at night. Activity is another organization!

We checked in Monday 25th July and checked out Monday 1st August this was a 7-night stay. We stayed in apartment 15 which faces onto Jephson street, Toowong. Toowong is actually somewhere we lived several years ago and back then - 2014 - we were quite close to this complex so we have some previous experience of this immediate area. It is a very good spot to be placed; plenty of public transport, car parking in complex, shopping at nearby Toowong Village Complex, a ‘GoodLife Gym’ (which if you ask management nicely may let you have a very reasonably priced short-term daily / weekly entrance pass – my wife did this), coffee shops and so on. Good spot to be. Just across the road is 'The Gunshop Cafe' - we had a breakfast there really, really recommend. Toowong Central Apartments are an older set of 28 apartments BUT the welcome, the hosting, the housekeeping and in particular the unit we stayed in was fresh and crisp. Please note: this is a busy area at times so you will experience traffic noise (peak hours) and this was the case in apartment 15; for us however it was not an issue – we have traveled extensively and when our heads hit the (very comfortable bed and pillows, in this case) we sleep like logs. If, however, you are a light sleeper speak in advance to manager Jack (who is very approachable) and see if one of the other units might be available and perhaps better suit your needs. I am confident he will do his best for you if he can. Check-in time was 1.00pm; we arrived sometime prior to check-in but on-site manager Jack kindly took our luggage to store whilst my wife went (via ‘Good-life Gym’) to an early morning business meeting; I went out for coffee and breakfast – lots of choice very close by. Worth noting that on-site manager Jack has been here for the last ten years; he is still, self-evidently, keeping a firm hand on his leadership and management duties even during these difficult Covid / post Covid times when hospitality has really struggled. Jack is, in our short stay here, doing a good job in providing safe, serviceable, comfortable and welcoming apartment type accommodation. Thank you – Jack! When finally we were checking in, the first thing I heard was my wife exclaim from the bathroom: ‘Home-made hand soap! How lovely!’ Good start! Apartment 15 is very well presented; the unit is in really good condition beautifully clean and really welcoming. Very strong (free) Wi-Fi and reliable connection throughout our stay. The double bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is in excellent condition (looks fairly new) and water pressure from shower excellent. Hot water plentiful with no loss of heat if enjoying an extended shower. Comfortable sofa, comfortable table and chairs both inside and outside (on balcony); all serviceable and well maintained. Kitchen area beautiful clean on arrival and all is in place to make our stay a pleasant one. Fridge good and cold. Great lighting throughout this unit. Loved the bedside lamps. Ther

Stayed here for 7 nights at the beginning of April. Check in was quick and although we requested a quiet room, we were sadly given a room that faced onto a road and the helipad of the children’s hospital. So, the room was rather noisy from the traffic and from helicopter landing and taking off at night. Even with ear plugs on I could still hear the traffic. Room: Room 714 was very clean, it seems the Australian standards of cleanliness is much higher and better than at our previous Marriott stays in Cardiff, Wales and in Edinburgh, Scotland. Housekeeping at this hotel is very thorough at cleaning, as we didn’t feel any dust on the surfaces. My partner is blind and the first thing he does is touch the surfaces to get to know the layout of the room and he was impressed that tables, chairs & walls didn’t feel dusty. The housekeeping ladies always provided us with fresh towels and 2 bottles of water daily, as well as change the bed linen when requested. These ladies (day as well as evening housekeeping) are all lovely and friendly, requests for extra toilet paper, tissues, even slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste were promptly supplied with a smile. The housekeeping team at this hotel should be commended for keeping rooms/bathroom clean to a high standard. Reception: The ladies at reception Jess and other lady (who doesn’t wear a name badge) are efficient when checking people in however, they were not so friendly once you’ve checked in, they both came across as cold, sourpusses. Every day we went past reception and these 2 ladies never smiled or said hello. Once we initiated a hello and got a forced response. The male reception staff at night and on the days when the ladies were off are much better as they always greeted people as they walked past reception. Location: This hotel is perfectly located as it is close to all the restaurants in the Southbank and there’s lots to choose from. It is also about 2 mins walk to Goodwill bridge which connects to the Botanical Gardens. From this hotel everything is within walking distance, we walked to Queen Street shopping mall daily and it took us about 10 mins via Southbank parklands and crossing the bridge. We are not super fast walkers but we found everything in close proximity to this hotel. We will definitely stay at this hotel again when we return to Australia next year.

Recommend if you are looking for a clean and quality place to stay and are a budget traveller. This yha has a very high standard compared to others. It is more like a youth hotel with bunk beds rather than a backpackers place. You also meet travellers of all ages, families and youth groups around the place. The rooms are super tidy and serviced daily, spacious luggage lockers that fit a large suitcase (fantastic!) and are light filled with aircon or windows to be opened. The kitchen is very big, nice rooftop terrace with city views and pool area. Tv lounge and soon it’s own co working hub which I think is a great addition to the concept. Free luggage storage for guests and friendly and helpful staff.

This was the best breakfast I have ever eaten, they went to so much trouble for all there, there was a quiz, a raffle with great prizes, the place was decorated beautifully & the food was superb, I wanted to steal the baked leg ham it was so good & as it was buffet you could have as much as you wanted - it was a thoroughly enjoyable morning & the staff were very attentive, there was nothing left to chance & I look forward to next year

Fantastic - really great location, near the convention centre, the ferry and shopping area. Very modern and clean, great to have a place to make a piece of toast and cup of tea in the morning. Would highly recommend to anyone staying more than a few days in Brisbane.

The location of the hotel is very good, about 10 minutes walk to woowang shopping center, there are coles supermarket, beef shop, fruit shop, pharmacy and so on. 5 minutes walk to the citycst transportation boat station, and a few minutes walk to the bus station. The front desk of the hotel is off at 5 o'clock. Those who check in after 5 o'clock can enter with the password and get the key by themselves. The hotel has a kitchen with full facilities for cooking. Very good hotel.

This is the best quality accommodation available in the Western suburbs. Only a couple of years old and everything still looks spotless. Comfortable and spacious room with modern bathroom, a good view and good sound-proofing. Air-con doesn't get very cold - it's ok with August temperatures but it may struggle in summer! Pillows were a bit flat - would have liked more of a choice rather than all of them the same. Very friendly reception staff. It's above a private hospital and health centre but this doesn't detract at all from the hotel side of things. No facilities as such (no pool, gym, etc) but there is a good on-site cafe and a few restaurants nearby for eat-in or takeaway - there is a microwave with cutlery supplied in the room which is useful. Groupon deal was fantastic value!
