During the cyclone, I had to relocate from the coast to ensure I would not be trapped due to flooding and miss my flight home. I’m so glad I found this hotel. Although Brisbane was shut down, the hotel has a buffet breakfast and a restaurant. The food was great and the staff was exceptional. Everything I needed for the 4 days was looked after. I appreciate that the stay was pleasurable during a difficult few days.

Solid choice for family travel

Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central boasts an excellent location in the city. Situated in a quiet area, it is still just a short distance from the city's vibrant hub. The service was great, and the breakfast lived up to expectations. Overall, it's a solid choice for family travel.

The property was clean and as advertised. I would stay again for a night out in the city. I particularly liked the shampoo and conditioner in the shower, it smelled lovely and the breakfast was good. However the reception staff were perfunctory and not friendly. Check in and check out was transactional and cold. They really need to work on a welcoming atmosphere. They just didn’t seem happy to be there.
