We stay here every time my husband has a hospital visit. It’s clean, spacious and within walking distance to the hospital. The staff are friendly and accommodating and always check in by phone the day before. Breakfast is simple but very convenient and much appreciated. I would highly recommend this hotel if you have someone in hospital or just staying on the Northside of Brisbane.

Stayed due to partner having surgery at St Vincents Hospital, only 100m away. Staff suggested I park my car in the visitors car park prior to, and after, check out and offered use of the lounge. Being able to obtain cereal and fruit for breakfast a bonus. lovely accommodation at a reasonable price.
