We stayed overnight on a trip to see the Bolshoi. Only regret is that it was a Sunday so the restaurant was closed. Rooms are compact, not the place for overlarge people, but with superior fittings. Roof top bar is a must, breakfast on the verandah excellent. Its in a trendy/edgy suburb (different restaurants/lively bars) great for public transport, there's... More

In a spur of moment booked into Spicers on Balfour. We were welcome as if we were family, the room was well appoint and the bed very comfortable. Following checking we received drinks and tasters. The view of the city at night was surreal, you are so close that you could touch it but without any of noise, just fantastic... More

The Spicers Balfour is a wonderful boutique hotel close to everything in Brisbane. We only stayed one night, but the service and amenities were impeccable. They arranged for transportation to and from the airport, allowed us to store wine we had purchased in Hunter Valley, made dinner reservations, etc. The rooftop deck makes for a great view of Brisbane and...

We booked the terrace room for 2 nights for our daughter's wedding. From our first visit to view the terrace room, the staff, especially Sarah, could not do enough for us. On the Friday night before the wedding, the bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride all stayed at the hotel. The staff had recommended a local restaurant, which they... More

Spicers Balfour does everything brilliantly. Service is outstanding, our room was of a good size and the bed so comfortable. All the bathroom fittings were of superb quality.

The service culture alone at Spicers Balfour immediately sets it apart from most boutique hotels I have stayed in. Then comes the beautifully appointed rooms (small but luxurious and functional) and the lovely verandah for long breakfasts and the great setting amongst one of Brisbane's more iconic suburbs. Dont miss out on a night time drink on the rooftop bar... More

Warm friendly greeting on arrival. All staff were very courteous and attentive. I had arrived early in the day (my husband had a business meeting) but the room was ready and they allowed me to check in early which was appreciated. The courtyard room was quite small which I had expected after reading previous reviews. It was also quite dark... More
