We've been to many Spicers locations and the Balfour comes close to being our favourite (Spicers Peak may still pip this one....just!). We spent 3 nights at Spicers Balfour and can't recommend a stay here highly enough. We were met with an upgrade to the Balfour Suite at check in which was superb in every way, comfortable, spacious and so so quiet. Our breakfast was included in our package and we could not fault the range of choices, my favourite being the crab scrambled eggs. On one night, we invited a few local friends to join us for pre dinner cocktails and drinks on the rooftop where we could enjoy the views. Then we all dined on the fabulous 'Taste It All' menu with paired wines, which we didn't want to end. I was a bit worried that an inner city location may not have the true Spicers feel that are a part of this brand, but there was no need to worry at all. It was still quiet and felt decadent and the location actually turned out to be one of the best parts about it. We walked everywhere...Howard Smith Wharves, South Bank (and took the ferry back), New Farm markets and even through Fortitude Valley to the Tivoli to watch a show. There were so many nearby restaurants and bars to choose from, IF you are staying for a few nights. But it is great to know that if you are there for one night only, Spicers Balfour has you covered with an amazing restaurant and bar and truly beautiful accommodation. A one stop shop, so to speak. Lastly, but certainly not least, the true highlight of our stay was the staff!!! Every single staff member was happy to see you, would do anything for you and went out of their way to ensure you felt like one of the family. Best staff ever! Do yourself a favour and go experience Spicer Balfour!

My wife and I stayed five nights in October. What a lovely establishment with undercover and secure parking in a great location in Kangaroo Point. We had a single bedroom apartment (with kitchen) in Tower 2. The apartment was quite spacious and very well appointed. Two 4-seat tables (one out on the patio overlooking the river), two sofas and a small desk and chair, plenty of room for a laptop. The rooms were very clean and bright especially the bathroom which was spotless (one of my little idiosyncrasies). As for the staff, they were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly stay there again next time we are in Brisbane.

We recently stayed at Dockside Apartments and had a fantastic experience. We were travelling with another family and upon booking, asked if we were able to get two apartments near one another. The property were happy to accommodate this, and placed us in apartments next to each other. The staff in general were friendly and incredibly accommodating - nothing was too much trouble. We were on an early flight and they were happy to store our luggage for us so that we could go and explore the city. We even received a phone call from them early that afternoon to let us know that our rooms were ready early if we wanted to check in a couple of hours earlier, which was such a nice surprise. The apartments are really spacious with a kitchen, lounge room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry. The kitchens are well kitted out and the views over the river are spectacular. The decor in our apartment was a bit tired but the one that our friends were staying in had recently been refurbished and looked very modern and fresh. Fantastic outdoor area with a pool and barbecues. The location is great, with several restaurants nearby as well as a liquor store and a convenience store. The ferry terminal near the hotel is still being redeveloped but once it is complete it will be literally at the hotels doorstep. We still used the ferry but had to walk a bit further to catch it. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and found the staff to really go above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience.

We will definitely stay here again. Lovely little hotel with staff who genuinely care. I was surprised that our room was so quiet. Only a very short walk to a pub and several cafe’s. The room was very clean and even included complimentary bottled water. The free wifi and undercover parking was great too.

Great spot on James Street. Good value for money. Friendly staff, tidy rooms and very enjoyable. Will definitely be back

Great location, super near the dockside where you can take the free Cityhopper to Riverside. Walking distance to Fortitude Valley via the story bridge which is super nice to take a walk at. There’s a Manhattan Pizza nearby - perfect for takeaways, a super delicious French bakery Christina Jacques Bakery and lots of dining options. Free parking was what I needed hence I chose The Point, I typically return back around 5-6pm and there are still lots available. Hot showers are available readily with adjustable water pressure, well done. Chromecast available, room size is good to fit 2 large sized suitcases with plenty of space left. Breakfast is good, it’s ala-carte which reduces food wastages, they even allow takeaways for coffee and food when I did not have time to dine-in for my breakfast. Good place to rest in after a day of sight-seeing. Very value for money and true to photos.
