ibis Brisbane Airport

Location to the domestic airport and a hop on the free shuttle to international airport ( from the domestic terminal, not the hotel). It took all of 15 minutes in the morning to walk over to the free shuttle. The room was soundproof and spotless with everything we needed for the night. We enjoyed a good value meal in the restaurant downstairs and chatted with other guests about travels. The Pullman is right next door and has a fancy restaurant if that is of interest. We were flying out of Brisbane International so I did a quick reconnaissance walk the afternoon before to see how long it would take me to get to the free shuttle from the domestic . I’d give it 20minutes if you are a bit slower and lugging bags, however we did it in 15min.

They had 24 hour reception so as soon as we arrived on a late flight we didn’t need to worry about checking in, they were so lovely, gave my daughter a colouring in book and also arranged for our Buffett breakfast in the morning. The room was comfy with tea and coffee but what I liked most was the blinds - when I woke in the morning I still thought it was early but it was 8:30 - kept the light out so perfect so if you need to sleep during the day. Buffett had everything you would want - even had 5 types of eggs and dining room wasn’t squishy - nice and open. Pity I didn’t know about this place earlier but will definitely be back!

The hotel was picked for its location by the airport, and I found it pretty quiet despite this. My room was facing the Brisbane CBD so I had a lovely view. It was a more spacious room than I expected. Shower was great, and I enjoyed the fact there was an on-site restaurant which was both dine-in and take-out: very good food and convenient.

It's close to the airport, there's an airport shuttle between certain hours of the day, and the front desk is open 24 hours. I had a comfortable stay for my layover. the hotel is adequate, but for the price they could spring to some hair conditioner in the toiletries caddies and powerpoints with USB ports for phone charging next to the bed. It's an international hotel, used by business travellers, often the first taste of Australia to overseas visitors - it would be good if its facilities matched up to (much cheaper) airport hotels in other countries.

The location next to the airport was great. The shuttle service to the airports starts early in the morning, which is what we needed. The room was not large, but we were only staying for one night while in transit, so it was exactly what we needed. The Hotel restaurant had great food and was a highlight of the stay. Staff were also helpful when we realised we had left something in the room and went back to get it after we had checked out.
