We had a weekend in Brisbane and a lovely stay at Spicers Balfour. The hotel is quiet and well appointed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful without being over the top. Our room was comfy and the pillows on the bed were some of the best I have ever had in a hotel. The hotel bar was nice and... More

In a world where we are so often feeling a little let down by the travel experience isn't it exciting when you find that exceptional exception! We were greeted with attentive service, taken straight to our room, no checking in, we were then shown the way to the cafe strip then back for pre dinner drinks in the funky little... More

Had a conference here but didn't stay over night. Excellent boutique hotel in New Farm. Short stroll to restaurants and not far from Brisbane CBD. Hotel has been refurbished well. Staff are friendly and attentive. The little bar @ the top is great and private. Very quiet location. Public transport is an issue as it's not close to a train... More

This was the most comfortable and amazing hotel that we have ever had the honour or staying at. The customer service was out of this world, the quality of the room and its furnishings was second to none and the look and feel of the place was out of this world. We loved staying there and we will always go... More

The service at Balfour was fantastic, very helpful and very friendly without being too over the top. Our room was lovely, we were upgraded to the balcony room (room1)... More

We stayed here as a couple on the 11th of February. The room was spacious and well designed leading out to a small courtyard each room has a Pixie Esspresso coffee machine. The property consists of less than 20 rooms. It has a great little roof top bar with views of the Story Bridge. Excellent staff. Free but limited parking... More

Rather than stay is a large city hotel, we thought we would try something a little different ... and we did. We stayed for two nights, the staff are fantastic, the roof top bar is a lovely way to unwind after a busy day out and about. Canapes were a lovely touch. Rooms are well equipped, bed was very comfortable,... More
