We had a fabulous stay at Spicers Balfour that lived up to all our expectations of what we have experienced at any of the 3 other Spicers hotels we've stayed in. This one takes the boutique and personal service level up to the next level, with all the staff we dealt with being helpful, easy to deal with, and friendly, ensuring we had a very lovely time there. The room was as shown on the website and although on the slightly small side had everything we needed. The gorgeous little rooftop bar is really special with its beautiful sunset outlook over New Farm & the Story Bridge. The restaurant provided a 5-star meal in a relaxed setting with beautiful, personal service from the waitstaff. The location makes it a park your car and walk/public transport your way to so many entertainment options in the vicinity. Highly recommend the Balfour—we were there for an anniversary "staycation" and it was perfect, and only 15 mins from home.

A real gem. Found online looking for a reasonably priced hotel between the airport and ship terminal in Brisbane the night before boarding a cruise. Staff welcoming and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable with a nice hot shower. The hotel is also located close to places to eat. Really surprised to discover they also have "pet-friendly" rooms—no pet smells at all in corridors or common areas and was quiet all night. If on a road trip, would be a great place to stay with our pup! Would be very happy to stay here again:).
