For a quiet and comfortable stay in a most convenient location you just can't go past this one. Greg and Jan will always go out of their way to provide for your needs. The rooms are well equipped clean tidy and most comfortable and away from noisy traffic. Also close enough to the ferry terminal and numerous local shops and... More

We chose this hotel due to its price and being so close to the airport. All we needed was a place to shower and change before going onto the airport. Swimming pool was appreciated also. The manager was also very nice.

Spent our last night in Australia at Raceways. Great host. Room clean, everything in working order. Bedding and bathroom good. Swimming pool looked good but I didn't test drive. Parked at the door. Free WiFi. Good value. Groceries and restaurants a few blocks away. 5 Mins from BNE and international cruise port. Very handy. Definitely suited us well.

Stayed here because of close proximity to the airport and the good reviews on here. Room was well equipped, but very dated and had a funny smell. Can't quite decide whether it was incense or pipe smoke.. because of this we didn't hang around to relax and headed straight out into the city which is a shame because after a... More

Stayed here for a quick 2 night visit to Brisbane. The room is a bit dated, however clean and very comfortable. The room is equipped with a small fridge, microwave, jug etc. The owners are very friendly and helpful and were able to answer all our questions. A short walk to some nice cafe's, restaurants and take-away food places. We... More

Situated in a quiet back street of Hamilton, this motel is old but very clean & the bed was comfortable. Greg, the owner is very nice and helpful. We stayed here during a 2 day visit to Brisbane & used the citycat, which is a short walk from the motel, to get into the city. There are restaurants within walking... More

We arrived late at night but that was no problem, and we had a late check out next morning at 11 am at the sugestion of the very friendly owner ( Greg ), as our flight wasn't till early afternoon....

My 'traditional' Brisbane motel! You will not find better value anywhere. Close to the port and airport, but also not too far away from Brisbane itself, the Raceways Motel is a really neat little base to operate from. My family and I have stayed at the Raceways many times over the years and we keep returning simply because it is... More

An great motel for a short stay in Brisbane or an overnight stop. Very clean and spacious rooms with excellent hospitality. Free Wi-Fi is included and a wide choice of breakfasts are available at reasonable costs. Situated in a quiet street off Racecourse road, convenient for the city and the Airport. A very good option at the price.

As country people we appreciate the location of this motel. It is located in a quiet side street with easy access from the freeway and is within walking distance to a great range of restaurants and public transport (bus or ferry) into Brisbane City. Also an easy drive to the airport, Toombul shopping centre and DFO. Rooms are clean, beds... More
