Brisbane Hostels

Hotel Kingsley boasts a great location just a 15-minute drive from Brisbane Airport, perfect for travelers with early morning flights. It’s also conveniently close—a 9-minute drive—to the ferry pier at Holt Street, where you can catch a ferry to Moreton Island, a beautiful resort island near Brisbane. The area around the hotel offers excellent dining options, including Rise Bakery, known for its relaxing atmosphere, and H Cafe & Bar Portside, which is open 24 hours and ideal for late-night snacks. The hotel rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable, featuring amenities like air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. With its proximity to transport and dining, Hotel Kingsley is a solid choice for both convenience and comfort in Brisbane.

Perfect location for the event we were attending. Staff were very nice. Room is compact, it has everything we needed though. Sound did travel from the adjacent room. Would stay again 🙂

Here's a breakdown of my experience: 1. **Location:** Fantastic! It's within walking distance to the CBD and Central Station (about a 5-minute stroll), and close to the free City Loop bus. If you're driving, there's free parking, but spots are limited, so late arrivals often have to park temporarily on the street. 2. **Facilities & Experience:** This is a 3.5-star budget-friendly hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious, with some even having balconies. The bedding is comfortable, the free WiFi is stable, and there's a 24-hour front desk. The downsides are that some bathrooms are a bit dated, and street-facing rooms can get some traffic noise. 3. **Service:** The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. Luggage storage was smooth, and security felt adequate. 4. **Value for Money:** The price is very reasonable for Brisbane city. It's a great option for business travelers, budget-conscious tourists, and families on a road trip.

We didn't end up staying for the night we had booked as when we entered the room it had a strong cigarette smell and the bed coverings were covered in stains. The car parking area was very tight.

Arrived at night to find no staff present. Had to call to get the room number and door code, which tested my English. Luckily, I had internet calls through Ctrip, otherwise, I would have needed to activate international roaming (just a transit stop overnight). It took about 20 minutes of hassle to finally get into the hotel. My room was on the second floor, and I couldn't find an elevator, so I had to carry my luggage up. The room wasn't as big as described, but it was clean enough. The air conditioning was directly facing the bed, so it was fine for just one night.

Staff were lovely, I arrived early and they quickly cleaned the room and let me check in. The room was clean and comfortable.

I was fooled by the name of the Holiday Inn, like a temporary building in a residential resettlement area, located at the entrance of the community, also on the second floor, and you have to carry your luggage upstairs. Not far from the supermarket.

Easy access, all digital entry sent to mobile in a timely manner. Room was clean and fairly new. Great bed. Included shower items such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Great price. Many restaurants short walk away.

Overall, I was satisfied with the value for money. The location wasn't bad either, which was great because I could get around Brisbane to the city center and main attractions without worrying about transportation costs. The room was cleaner than I expected, and most importantly, it was convenient to connect my phone to the TV to watch shows. Cable TV worked well too. All in all, it's not a super luxurious hotel, but for this price, it's a perfectly satisfying place to stay!

Although the facilities are old, they are clean and clean, and there is a pool with BBQ. The front desk was friendly and check-in was quick, there were refrigerators, microwaves and all kinds of dishes and cups.
