Wander along the winding Brisbane River where ferries called CityCats offer the best views without the fuss of guided tours. The South Bank precinct transforms concrete into paradise with its artificial beach and subtropical gardens. Queensland Museum houses dinosaurs that seem ready to timber back to life, while XXXX Brewery tours end with amber rewards that taste suspiciously better than elsewhere. Locals debate which riverside market offers superior mangos with the intensity others reserve for sporting rivalries.

Imperial Motel Windsor

Imperial Motel Windsor

8/10 Good
"Was very clean and convenient, the beds were extremely comfortable and I slept amazing. Despite being right next to a busy road the noise isn’t a problem. There’s a bus stop less than two minutes away so very easy to get to the city. There are no lifts so be mindful of which floor you get put on if you need assistance with accessibility. The bathroom experience was a bit frustrating as the toilet is right next to the shower with only a curtain separating them, with no where to put your toiletries while you shower, and you can’t leave the bathroom door open whilst showering due to the smoke alarm, so it can feel quite claustrophobic. Check in was a little over complicated. Overall I feel like the price per night should be a little lower considering what other budget hotels in Brisbane have to offer."

  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals in Brisbane, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you secure affordable accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're well-equipped to make informed decisions. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be the first to know and ready to book your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Brisbane hotel. For those seeking unique accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Brisbane's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that remains well connected. If you're keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there’s often excellent value for money to be had. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
