Best Hotels in Balmoral

Location is perfect close to new cruise port and airport with lots of surrounding cafes cinema and shops and a short five minute walk to river ferry for trips to Brisbane South bank and City shops Apartments are spotless and good value for money Manager Tracy is a great asset and makes it a pleasure to stay with her help and knowledge What a difference it makes when you find such a nice combination of great management, location and comfort Well done Tracy

Great location helpful staff. Room was very clean all the appliances worked. 1 small issue was the dryer was very loud sounds like there’s something wrong with it or may not be mounted properly. Other than that it was a good experience and will definitely stay again

I chose this hotel near the airport because I had to rent a car and fly to Brisbane Airport early in the morning. The hotel is easy to find, the left side of the road. After the arrival, the standard room was not available. We gave us a lot of large bed sheets. The room is small and compact, but it can't be an extra bed. There is no noise when resting. The hotel has convenient parking, and it is a gas station next door. It is also very convenient to refuel in front of the car. Breakfast is 15 knives, we have not booked in time, it should be in the small cafe on the first floor. After walking, I found that the iPad was gone, and the hotel quickly confirmed that it was coming. Now I am looking for Ctrip.com to bring it back. Ctrip service is great!

Awesome place to stay

I was having a late check in, confirming this 2 days prior to overnight stay, and was told by receptionist (who answered the phone in that morning) that I would receive a text/email with details of how to get into the hotel. However this never occurred, and the day of arrival I rang 8 times during office hours (2.30-5pm) to get instructions, all of which were never answered. And on ringing Qantas hotel assistance, I was on hold for 42 mins to them as they also, could not get any reply to phone calls etc to the hotel reception, again all during afternoon office hours before 5pm. Ringing after 5pm got through to the afterhours contact people who told me there was a phone at the hotel door to ring them and they would give me the details on arrival. Which was exactly all that was needed. The information given by the receptionist originally was of no help, and the reception phone not being answered most of the afternoon was extremely poor. The phone in my room was completely dead and not working when I went to book a taxi back to the airport. The aircon was on full bore and couldnt be turned off. But the duvet was thick and warm which at least made it warm enough to sleep. The room was tidy and clean, but given the very poor reception assistance and communication (and not actually answering their phones during the afternoon) I would certainly not recommend this hotel unless you actually arrive during daytime hours when hopefully there MAY be a staff member who could assist you. Either that or wait for the afterhours contracted people who were so much more helpful.

Stayed at the Riverview Motel for 1 night arrived after hours, good communication with owners in regards to late checkin - close to the Brisbane Airport. They do have a courtesy bus which will take you to the cruise terminal or airport which is fantastic. We also had a cancelled flight so had to get last minute accommodation and just rang the motel as we had stayed there before all was easily arranged for us, this was much appreciated. About the room itself bed was very comfortable clean sheets and towels also microwave supplied in the room. It could certainly do with a facelift as it is a very old motel I found the lighting very poor and certainly the bathroom needs redoing, but overall for $130-$138 per night was reasonable and staff were very friendly. I would certainly recommend this Motel to anyone looking for a short stay near airport, brisbane city itself.

After an earlier review of a complete lack of room perpetration I was extremely nervous about staying here. In preparation I made alternate plans but fortunately I didn't need them. I made my booking on WOTIF, the welcome at reception was quick and efficient. The room was basic, tea and coffee, queen bed and basic toiletries. The room was clean enough for its age, the bathroom could use some new grout and a bigger tv wouldn't go astray. It's located near some nice restaurants near the Wharf, all a short stroll. I feel I paid a premium for this place but I understand we are coming out of a pandemic. There is a sign on the door saying to contact them directly to get a better rate. I would stay there again but it would be price dependant

I wish I had of read these reviews prior to booking a room. I wanted something close to the airport and at last minute this was all that was left. I don't consider $148 a cheap room for 1 night, a shared backpackers room would of been cleaner. I got a text after booking and paying asking me to enter more details again including credit card, it said to upload a photo, didn't say upload your licence so therefor never sent the room code, when I rang I got a lady I could not understand who explained I didn't need to worry because I could do it at reception, when we arrived at reception the lady told me I MUST DO IT OR I CAN'T STAY!! 1hr later and 2 others in reception having the same issues we were given a room code, the room smelt like a dead wet dog, we were on ground level the curtain was see through and didn't block any of the elements out, the shower was that small you could only fit in one leg at a time.... prior to arriving I asked if they had a laundry on site I was told yes to only be told once checked in the washing machine is broken.. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

With an unexpected couple of nights to spend in Brisbane, and looking for something relatively close to the airport, I chanced upon this great motel. It gets five stars from me as it excels at what it is…clean, decent, comfortable accommodation at a fair price and in a good location. Helen on reception was fantastic and friendly, helping me out with an early check in and sharing knowledge about local places to eat. I had a second floor room but there’s a lift. My room was spotless, spacious and had everything I needed. I hate the mean-spirited places that portion out two teabags in your room – so I loved that here, there were six teabags! It’s the small things ;-) Although close to a busy road, the rooms are reasonably sound-proofed and the traffic dies off dramatically at night. With a comfortable bed, decent pillows and nice linen, I had a good night’s sleep. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the raceways twice recently. On our way to Norfolk Island and again on the way back. We have stayed before because it is so handy to the airport. It was a good choice again this time. The motel is a “golden chain classic “. And it is a classic. It is clean the beds are really comfortable air conditioning is good and quite and the motel is in a very quiet street. It is really close to some amazing restaurants in racecourse road and only a couple of blocks to even more in the bretts wharves area. The hosts are very nice and helpful. The room is a good size and there is a big long bench to repack bags and sort out your gear and a table and chairs. Would recommend as a good choice for a basic motel. Pool too looked good.
