Spicers Balfour Hotel, New Farm

The hotel's rooms may be a bit small, but certainly large enough for the two of us. They had a balcony or a bit more air and were luxurious and well-appointed with lots of charming art deco touches within a short period of time. However, the noise outside our room through the night was quite disturbing; it felt like there weren't trying to be quiet at all around guest rooms. The service was friendly, and the staff knows their craft, though the noise was a downside. The location of the hotel is perfect, close to the city or all that is hip and happening around the local area. On the positive side, I really appreciated the free parking. The dining experience was good, although the options were quite limited. The hotel facilities were good, but the noise outside the room could get bothersome at times.

Staying at the hotel was a bit of a compromise with the tight room facing the restaurant directly in front and the property being a little out of the way, but it was worth it for a couple of days. The room had all the usual amenities, and having extras like an ironing board and iron was a nice bonus.

The hotel is located in a peaceful area, perfect for relaxation, and offers stylishly designed rooms with thoughtful touches like heated towel rails and a selection of organic teas. The service was exceptional, with personalized welcome amenities and a warm atmosphere. The location near Brisbane River and the CBD makes it a fabulous choice.

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were extremely comfortable, with a bed and pillows to die for, and the suite I stayed in was stunning, stylish, and sophisticated. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff offering a range of convenient amenities. The location was quiet yet close enough to Brisbane, offering a wonderful stroll along the Brisbane River Walk. The dining experience was excellent, featuring superb Asian-inspired options. Overall, a luxurious and well-appointed hotel with great value for money.
