I arrived late at night and was met with great hospitality and professionalism. The team was very helpful and all information provided was spot on. The location is very convenient and the room was literally sound proof , clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Would highly recommend the place!!!

Every 6 months I'm required to travel to Fortitude Valley for my uni course. I had stayed at City Palms back in 2011 and was less than pleased. However, in February 2013 I gave it another ago and was blown away by the difference- my first realisation being that there had been a change in ownership. Keeping in mind it... More

Good for a night or two while on business. Cheap, reasonably clean with facilities to match it is convenient to many place. Easy 10 minute walk to many restaurants. Great value for the price. Most other reviews appear to expect 5 star value at 3 star places - you get what you pay for! Would happily stay here again on... More

This motel is great value for money. It's walking distance to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and to food and restaurants. There is also a bus stop across the street. The price is much cheaper than other hotels in Brisbane, but the rooms are very good. It is an older building which has been refurbished. The rooms have all... More

Its a decent motel near the Brisbane city and cheaper than the others available there. Most of the rooms are studios. Rooms are not too big but comfortable. The staff cleans the room and makes the bed daily but cleaning of bathroom and the changing of linen is done once every 3-4 days. Also be careful as u may find... More

This motel is good if you want a kitchen but don't want to pay a lot for it. The only problem that I found was the rude staff that stays on the front desk. In general, it it well located and the rooms are clean.

The damaged and ratty room sported a hole in the wall and leaking toilet. The poor quality of the room was surpassed only by the rudeness of the staff, who give the impression of you being a heavy burden more than a guest. All in all, I will not be using this accommodation and will be encouraging anyone who requires... More
