We arrived early and were greeting by the friendly, and helpful staff. The staff offered as luggage storage until we could check-in which was great as we just returned from the cruise ship and didnt have at cart our luggage around brisbane while site seeing. The staff were more than helpful with information on the area. When we checked in... More

What a surprise this little gem of a motel is!!! Had a limited budget, when I found this motel I was concerned about what to expect because it is very reasonably priced, close to the airport and city. As I was only staying for a one night business trip figured it would be OK......even more concerned when I saw how... More

Our stay at the Kingsford Smith far exceeded all our expectations. The room was large, bright & airy and immaculately clean. Loved the plantation shutters and the soft comfortable bed with it's fresh white bedding. The free parking was a surprise bonus. Great room & terrific service.

Booked and paid via Wotif - turned up to find reception closed, phone going to voicemail. Sat cooling our heels for 30 minutes before jumping into a cab to find another hotel. Exceptionally poor - I'm tired and annoyed. Heard the word "service"? Perhaps you could look it up sometime.

While we offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience and have refunded the accommodation in full we must point out that the Check-In Instructions on all websites state quite clearly that - Late arrivals MUST contact the motel for after hours check-in procedures - which didn't happen on this occasion. We have checked to ensure the after hours system is... More

This is a very accessible motel. Free parking, and we liked the convenience to the airport. Also, appreciated the friendly advice by staff on how best to go downtown. (The CityCat boat dock is a short walk away.) The room was basic but comfortable.

This hotel was good value. Lovely clean room with excellent bedding close to the airport. A very good plus was the management who were extremely accommodating..even supplying a bandaid for blistered feet:) Will def be booking this hotel on my next visit.

Located close to Brisbane Airport this hotel is more than suitable for a transit stop at a reasonable price. The check-in staff were very helpful. The rooms are clean and a good size with a fridge. The hotel is 5 mins walk from Brett’s wharf which is a very pleasant place to have dinner.

I have stayed in most of the motels on Kingsford Smith Drive, and I think this is the best of the bunch. It is far from the cheapest mind you, but the rooms are immaculate, the beds very comfortable, and they have a mini bar, which is a nice touch I was not expecting. It is not quite as close... More

Our ship was set to sail on the 6th, so we flew over from NZ the day before and spent the night here. The location was perfect! Unbeknownst to us prior, we were barely a five minute walk to the wharf! I don't think there was any place closer! Plenty of restaurant selections locally, but no restaurant on the premises.... More
