Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central, an IHG Hotel

Everything was above expectations

The lobby was big and comfortable and the vibe of the hotel was nice. I appreciated the access to laundry, though I didn't use it, and the gym which my partner did use. It had some weights and a few exercise machines. The hotel is in a great location just 5 minutes walk from Central Station and just slightly uphill at the end (we learned Brisbane has a lot of hills!). We could easily walk to the city, Fortitude Valley, Howard Smith Wharf, to the nearest ferry dock and to Roma St Parklands. The breakfast buffet was great with all the basics and a bit more: scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, cereal, tea and coffee, fruit etc. Check in was easy and the room was comfortable. The bed was pretty good, the AC worked well and the blinds blocked out all the light. I appreciated that the doona wasn't stupidly thick like many hotels, but nice and cosy. I would definitely stay again.

Great location! Super comfortable bed and pillows!! Great to have fridge and kettle in the room! (Loved that I could boil water for tea without it tasting like coffee!) Very good breakfast. Lovely and very helpful staff! Very clean! Quiet room!

Comfortable, clean room with the basics of what you need for a night's stay. Booked last minute and was a reasonable price still, including a self-service continental breakfast. Easy checkin & checkout. Updated bathrooms, with interesting door/design, but offering less privacy than standard designs would. Did appreciate the nod to Brisbane City with the river and city plan reference.

The room was exactly what we needed, a clean and comfy place to sleep & shower. But it also had great facilities too. The carpark was 2.2m clearance and had ample room for us to drive and park our large 4x4 which is near on impossible in other BNE carparks. The buffet breakfast was great too, delicious and simple with plenty of options for everyone!
