Spicers Balfour Hotel

Unclaimed

If you like small boutique hotels with great staff, good food, super location in Brisbane, and nice rooms, this hotel is for you. Booked two rooms for family on three day weekend and it was magical. The friendliest and most accommodating staff, nice rooftop bar with views of city and bridges, and wonderful breakfasts on terrace. The staff made some terrific restaurant recommendations, too.

My wife and I booked 5 nights for early March, and from the moment we checked in, we were made to feel at home in this stunning hotel. From the room, to the food to the staff, it exceeded every expectation. Little did anyone know that a Cat 2 cyclone would make a bee line for Brisbane. After 3 wonderful nights, for safety reasons, the hotel decided to close. Special shout out to Staci for making arrangements for us to move to another hotel that would withstand the wind and taking care of everything to set that up! Absolute over and above service!!! Thank you to Simon as well for taking the time to drive us to the new location and make sure we were welcomed and even showed us around. We are both grateful that you all took such amazing care of us!!! 5 stars to the entire staff as well as the super chill atmosphere even during some scary times. Looking forward to booking our next trip to pick up where we left off. G’day and thanks again!! Dave and Angela.

I had drinks on the rooftop and dinner on the front verandah. The cocktails were lovely and refreshing. Dinner was Vietnamese. It was unlike Vietnamese I've had before making me think it might have been French fusion. Everything was succulent and delicious. Service was good. I think our waiter said it was her first day. I wouldn't have known if she hadn't said. More exquisite cocktails. Mmmmm.

We stayed here for 7 nights during New Year's Eve, wonderfully relaxing. What a great place to stay close to the bustling city of Brisbane, in peace and quiet, enjoying top service and good facilities of the hotel. Very nice suits and beds! High quality food and a great rooftop bar! Highly recommended! We will definitely come back!
