#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: Osteria Roma Spring Hill restaurant and bar situated beside the hotel lobby of the Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill has the best frozen margarita I have ever tasted. Although the size of the glass is not what I expected, I still highly recommend it. I also love the alfresco style design of the entire place, making the overall atmosphere relaxing and elegant. This would be a perfect place to sit with family and friends for a couple of drinks. 📍Address: 345 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill QLD 4000 #australia #brisbane #localguides #familytrip #Springhill

Brisbane, a major city in Queensland, Australia, is known for its well-planned layout, cleanliness, safety, and attractiveness as a travel and living destination. The winter weather is pleasantly cool, not harsh, and while the summer sun can be hot, it's not unbearably so. However, prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to sunburn. The Brisbane CBD has everything you need, striking a perfect balance without being overly crowded like Sydney or too cold like Melbourne. It's a city where the nightlife is safe and relaxed, with many riverside restaurants to choose from.

#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: Dapl Restaurant, situated near the lobby of the Amora Hotel, offers a range of modern Australian cuisines and daily breakfast buffet with hot and cold selections of food and drinks. They also provide complimentary parking for upto 2hrs. I really love the fact that I can indulge myself in delicious food and eat whatever I want for an affordable price. 📍Address: 200 Creek St, Spring Hill QLD 4000 💰Average Price per Person: 20 -40aud per adult #australia #localguides #familytrip #brisbane #eatlikealocal

IT IS TRUE THAT NO DRINK CAN MATCH SLURPEE AT 7-ELEVEN CONVENIENCE STORE. I JUST LOVE HAVING THAT COLD SHAVED ICED WITH MULTIPLE FLAVOURS AND COLOURS TO QUENCH MY THIRST ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS HOT. #awesomepic#couplestrip#deliciousfood#foodie#mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#cafe#summervacation#celebratewithtrip#passionpassport#2023travelwish

My beautiful partner and I spent a lovely 7 days and nights here. The place is mixture of old and new, combining they evoke a seamless sense of beauty as the past connects with the present. Location is amazing, nicely tucked away in a quiet suburb but close enough to public transport to access the whole cbd. Affordable, comfortable, clean and amazing staff. A perfect stay to live, explore and experience everything about Brisbane.

#easytravelpost When I was planning my Brisbane trip, I wanted a hotel that would make getting around the city easy and stress-free, so I chose Amora Hotel Brisbane. Honestly, after staying there, I had zero regrets about my choice. ❤️ The location was a big win for me. Being close to Brisbane Central Station made it so convenient whenever I wanted to explore different parts of the city. I didn’t have to overthink transportation every morning — just get ready, walk out and start my Brisbane adventure. I also enjoyed the hotel itself. From the grand lobby and comfortable lounge areas to the gym and my room, everything felt well organised and convenient for a traveller. After spending hours walking around Brisbane, having a comfortable place to come back to made a huge difference. The hotel also had the essential facilities and amenities I needed for a longer stay, so I could properly rest, recharge and get ready for the next day. ⭐ My easy-travel tip: If you’re visiting Brisbane and plan to explore mostly by public transport, I’d personally prioritise a hotel near Central Station. It makes moving around so much easier, especially when you’re carrying luggage or returning after a long day. For me, Amora became more than just a place to sleep — it was my comfortable Brisbane base, allowing me to spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the city. Good location + comfortable stay + easy transport = one less thing to worry about while travelling. 🇦🇺❤️

It was a very nice trip in Brisbane with my family. Good weather, good foods and very relax. Trip.com is very helpful, we have booked all the services on it. Highly recommended this application.

The room was small but exceptionally clean. Though my window faced the car park, noise was not an issue, though a motion sensor light turned on occasionally. The fully carpeted upstairs helped reduce noise as well. There's no lift, but staff mentioned in another review that they can assign ground floor rooms with prior notice. It was a bit far—a 10-minute walk to nearby coffee—and dragging a suitcase through the park was challenging, but the nearby train station was very convenient. While the room felt pricey for its size, there was a city event during my stay that likely impacted the cost. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay!

If you’re considering Spring Hill Mews Apartments at 27 Birley St in Spring Hill, here’s what you should know before booking. The location is definitely convenient — you’re a short walk from St Andrew’s Hospital and Roma station. The Spring Hill Loop free bus connects you quickly to Queen St Mall and central attractions, which is handy, especially if you want to explore without worrying about parking. However, based on recent experiences, the property comes across as outdated and could use serious improvements, especially in cleanliness and maintenance. Some areas, like carpets and indoor flooring, are visibly stained and in need of deep cleaning. It’s clear your concerns about hygiene and overall comfort are valid — the close-up images of the carpets and floor reveal shadows and marks that don’t inspire confidence. These issues seem to detract heavily from what would otherwise be a value-driven stay. This place is a dump and smells and is so dirty they call it budget-friendly accommodation near the city center), you might reconsider if cleanliness and functional amenities are important to you. The practical location and self-contained units with parking are outweighed by the need for upgrades, especially if you expect higher standards. Some guests do recommend staying elsewhere until repairs and cleaning are improved. If you still decide to stay, check your room before unpacking and ask for a different unit if the condition isn’t satisfactory. Request extra cleaning and make note of any amenities that aren’t functioning properly upon arrival. For transit convenience, the Spring Hill Loop bus is a great option, and for groceries or dining, Queen St Mall is nearby. #SpringHill #TravelTips #AccommodationReview #dump #CleanlinessMatters #UrbanTravel #Gross #Notworththemoney

It was a very nice hotel. The shower and toilet were very spacious and stylish. It was wonderful.

I booked a two-night getaway to mark a milestone anniversary with my partner. The helpful team made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and stylish. Plus, there were a few thoughtful surprises to kick off our celebration! We thoroughly enjoyed having the amenities and luxuries of a big chain while also experiencing the charm and warmth of a boutique hotel. I wouldn’t hesitate to return when visiting Brisbane again. Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a charming yet affordable hotel in Brisbane CBD, consider the Amara! Formerly the Spring Hill Novotel, it has been completely renovated. We stayed one night and had a wonderful experience—friendly staff, although parking was a bit pricey at $40 per night on weekdays. The decor is stunning, reminiscent of the Calile on James St but at a fraction of the cost. It was very quiet, with a modern restaurant, excellent room service, incredibly comfy beds, and starting next week, four EV charging stations. Plus, it’s conveniently close to local restaurants. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰

Overall, a lovely hotel featuring a pool, gym, restaurant, and café. To truly hit five-star status, it would benefit from having pod coffee machines and minibars in all rooms. The location was convenient for my needs.

The reception staff were exceptionally helpful, always striving to meet my needs. The room was immaculate, spacious, and very cozy. It included everything I required, such as a coffee maker and a spotless, well-designed bathroom. After a busy day, it was the perfect spot to unwind, with a comfy bed and a pleasant city view. The location is superb—right next to the central station. It’s just a 3-minute walk to both international and domestic train lines and only about 25 minutes from the heart of the city. Additionally, it’s ideal for early morning flights, as the train station opens at 4 am, making airport access quick and convenient. All in all, this was the best service I’ve ever received at a hotel in Brisbane. I highly recommend it!

We stayed as a family of three in a twin room. The place was very tidy, clean, and beautifully decorated with a consistent theme throughout. The shower was excellent with strong water pressure. The rooms were spacious, with blackout curtains and a very quiet atmosphere. We got the room at a fantastic price and would absolutely stay here again. We didn’t get around to trying the pool, sauna, or gym this time. The bar and restaurant looked great, but we’ll save it for another visit.

Address: Atmosphere/Facilities: The bright lighting feels as warm as coming home. The front desk has a streamlined layout, and the walkways are spacious. The dining area offers excellent views, and there's a snack bar and lounge right next to it—perfect for relaxing and chatting. Overall, it's incredibly comfortable and cozy. Features: Great for business travelers and vacation stays, with convenient transportation. Average Price: Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Even though I stayed here with a tour group, it was a great place to unwind. The view from the room's balcony is also absolutely stunning.

The room was spacious, and there was no cramped space even with luggage unpacked. The overall environment was very clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, the room was bright and airy, and the stay was relaxing and comfortable. The location wasn't the most convenient, but the bus stop right outside was a plus. The price was reasonable and it offered great value for money. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Brisbane. I recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable and affordable accommodation. Consider it!

We checked in at the Madison Tower Mill Hotel (239 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane City) and honestly, the vibes were soooo good! This circular high-rise in Spring Hill is iconic—modern architecture hitting different 😍. Even on cloudy/rainy days, the view from our balcony overlooking the historic Tower Mill and the city was nice. Such a vibe for outdoor snaps! The location is elite—smack dab in Brisbane CBD, super close to restaurants, Central Station, Roma Street, Queen’s Plaza, and King Edward Park. If you’re driving, underground parking for just $20/night is major 💸. No need to stress about tricky parking! Our studio room wasn’t massive but had all the essentials—a comfy bed, cool urban decor, and a balcony for day or night city views. Points for cleanliness too! The room was tidy, fresh, and honestly cleaner than pricier places we’ve stayed. Staff were friendly and chill, always happy to help with random requests. Everything worked (though, tbh, some stuff is kinda old-school but still functional). Total value for money here, especially in such a central spot. Overall, the Madison Tower Mill Hotel is a solid pick for anyone wanting clean city digs with great access everywhere and those epic park views. Booking through trip.com keeps it simple and smooth too!

I stayed here for five nights during my recent trip to Brisbane. The suite was huge and very well arranged. It had three balconies—two were small, but the third was large with an amazing view. The room was clean and maintained daily. My only complaint is that it really needs soundproof windows!

The room matches the photos perfectly. It's clean, cozy, and peaceful at night. The staff are kind and very accommodating. The breakfast is a highlight, with delicious omelets and eggs benedict available at no extra charge. The hotel is situated right behind Central Station, making it close to the CBD.

Had everything necessary for a brief stay to attend a concert at Suncorp Stadium, which was just a short Uber ride away. There’s a café downstairs for a good coffee or breakfast, and the apartment itself was clean with comfy beds. The pool upstairs was a nice spot to cool off after wandering around the city. Roughly a 10-minute walk to the city cat ferry (though the area is hilly), where you can take a 50-cent ride to Southbank for a swim and some great dining options, or to breweries near Story Bridge. Coming from Sydney and being unfamiliar with Brisbane, it felt like a convenient location to explore the city.

We spent three nights at the Amora Hotel in Brisbane over New Year's Eve and had a fantastic time. The hotel has been recently renovated with a top-notch design. While the atmosphere leans more toward a business hotel and lacks a bit of character, it perfectly met our needs, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a city king room and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious, modern, and spotless it was. Housekeeping visited daily to tidy up and replace towels. Unfortunately, our room was located right next to the elevator, and the soundproofing wasn’t great, so we experienced some noise throughout our stay. Thankfully, earplugs helped block most of it out. We didn’t use the pool as it was crowded with children, which is understandable during school holidays. It would be great if there were a separate area for kids to avoid concerns like being hit with pool toys, but we understand this isn’t something the hotel can entirely control. P.S. The room service breakfast was absolutely incredible—highly recommended!
