Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near South Brisbane
Choosing the right arrival point for South Brisbane depends heavily on your flight type and priority. Brisbane Airport (BNE) is the only airport situated in the city itself, offering domestic and international flights with the most seamless access to South Brisbane via the efficient Airtrain or local bus network. All other airports serve neighboring cities and require more complex logistics. Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is a popular international and domestic gateway in the neighboring city of Coolangatta; while it offers shuttle and bus-to-train links, these journeys are considerably longer. Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) serves the Sunshine Coast region and provides a gateway for domestic leisure travelers, though ground transit to Brisbane remains significant. Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (WTB) is located in the neighboring city of Toowoomba and primarily handles domestic traffic; it is best suited for travelers heading into the Darling Downs rather than South Brisbane. Finally, Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) is located in regional New South Wales and is only recommended if your travel plans are specifically focused on the Northern Rivers area. In general, aim for BNE for speed and cost-efficiency, and look into private transfers for the regional hubs.

Stayed here overnight, and omg, this place was awesome! It's clean, it has a huge shower with awesome pressure, it's close to South Bank within like 5 minutes walk, it's close to restaurants, public transport is right out side your door, and it has security car parking, I loved this place and have already booked it again for my next convention, just look at how much room you have in that shower, I've never had a shower that big and spacious before.FromUS$109

Great hotel.
Took me a while to figure out how to use the tv.
The pool was great although on the cooler side.
Half the lights in the pool room didn’t work so half was quite dark. I didn’t like it but it didn’t stop me swimming
The view from the room was stunningFromUS$127

We had a wonderful stay here for a total of three weeks. We were so happy with our initial experience that we decided to extend our stay twice, which speaks for itself!
The location is excellent—within walking distance to the bus station, South Bank Parklands, and the City, and the overall environment is very comfortable. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional service. All the staff members were incredibly patient and helpful. I would like to give a special thank you to NAGO—thank you so much for your outstanding support and patience during our time here. I would also like to express my gratitude to the other team members at the front desk; although I didn’t catch their names, they were also consistently helpful and kind. We truly appreciate everything!FromUS$147

The location is fantastic! It's very close to the train station, bus station, and ferry terminal, and just a 3-minute walk to South Bank Park.
Service: I really have to complain about the service. I booked for four nights, and on one of those days, the room wasn't cleaned, even after I specifically reminded the front desk. The cleaning generally was quite sloppy; tea-stained cups weren't replaced, with tea stains clearly visible, and the bathroom faucet was covered in water marks. We were quite surprised to find such service and hygiene standards in a hotel of this caliber. Breakfast is à la carte with limited portions, one Western-style breakfast per person, which isn't really suitable for Chinese palates. We asked the hotel if we could cancel breakfast for the last two days, and they replied that it wasn't an issue for the hotel, but since we booked online, we'd need to coordinate with the third-party booking site. Although Trip.com actively tried to mediate, the hotel still refused. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to Chinese travelers.FromUS$263

Very clean and spacious, with a beautiful bedroom, a large living room, and a kitchen. The location is excellent, and the environment is comfortable and quiet. Just remember that check-out is at 10 AM, and there's a fee for late check-out.FromUS$147

It’s a great location and the food is great but we were a bit disappointed by the lack of facilities. Online it was advertised that there’s 2 swimming pools and one is heated but when we arrived - no heated pool. The pool bar was shut and roof top was shut.
We were a bit disappointed purely because we booked the hotel for these facilities.
Room very clean and friendly service staff.
Breakfast buffet good but pretty pricey - would be better if they offered alternate milks like soy, almond, lactose free etc and barista made coffee was included in the breakfast. Fruit selection was awesome!FromUS$143

Everything is good except that the air conditioner is not working for the smaller bedroom.
Booked 2 nights, air cond issue noticed on 1st day and reported to the front desk the following morning. They agreed to take a look and could be just the timer setting, etc.
On 2nd day, same issue happened again, the air cond not working again at around 9:30pm, I called the helpdesk and the lady asked me to wait until next morning to have someone to take a look. I disagreed with the arrangement and asked for immediate checkup. 10-15 mins later, a technician was dispatched and checked the air cond console confirmed no timer set, and re-started the whole air cond unit, but the issue still not fixed. At the end, we need to sleep on the sofa at the living room.
2 concerns here, I reported the issue on the 1st day, there seems to be no proper checkup done by the hotel. Secondly, we only stay for 2 nights here, ”wait until next morning” is not a good reason for any hardware issue in the hotel room.FromUS$147

Excellent location. We had a nice spacious apartment. Very comfy beds. The shower screen needs attention as it leaked all over the bathroom floor. The shower head would not stay up, which was awkward and annoying.FromUS$118

Check-in was very difficult- we arrived after 5pm, so we were a ”late” check-in. Unfortunately, the kiosk didn't work. The screen froze after we scanned our QR code, and we were left standing there waiting for 10 min, until we called the Customer assistance line. It took a while for the agent to understand that the screen froze, not that we didn't know what to do. They called for the caretaker to come assist, who was very helpful and nice, but it still took a while for them to arrive. All-in-all, check-in took over 45 minutes when we were already exhausted from traveling. The room was very nice though.FromUS$153

Pros:
• The View & Room: I booked a river view room, and it was true to the photos, so stunning. The room was spacious and even included a washer and dryer.
• Location: Very convenient. It’s just a short walk from South Brisbane station.
Cons:
• Cleanliness: I still found some dust on the shelves and had to wipe them down before using them.
• Amenities: They provided a 2-in-1 bottle for both body wash and hand wash. It was quite inconvenient having to carry the bottle to the sink back and forth just to wash my hands. Most serviced apartments provide separate bottles for the bathroom and the sink.
• Check-out Rules: The check-out instructions are quite strict. You have to take out all the trash, turn off all appliances, and load all used kitchenware into the dishwasher and press start before you leave.FromUS$147

It costs more than 500 yuan a night. It is equipped with air conditioning, a hot water kettle, two beds, one large and one small. Parking is free. Breakfast is 20 Australian dollars per person. It is quite satisfactory. The only exception is that there is no washing machine or dryer. The hotel is not cleaned every day during your stay. , but shampoo, shower gel, etc. can be providedFromUS$117
