Amora Hotel Brisbane

Amora Hotel Brisbane

8/10 Good
"Our room was nice. Beds were twin, so not Queen, and too small for two of us to comfortably sleep. The AC was not cool enough throughout the night as it went off and on (probably some energy saving mechanism). The gym was good enough, but there is no hot tub at the hotel, just a pool, which we didn't use. The bar was good. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and dinner, not lunch, which we would have liked to have, as we checked out at 12 noon. The parking was only $15 on the weekend which is good value. Our shower was very nice. The carpet needs a good cleaning as it was quite worn and discoloured. I would likely stay there again if I'm alone and not with family members."

"Great size room, friendly and helpful staff - quick and easy check in and check out, including the option for a kiosk as well for this if you prefer. Large bathroom, good water pressure. Unfortunately I didn’t have time for the pool or sauna but the pool looked nice - indoor, not huge but good for a small boutique hotel. Good walking distance to main amenities including a convenience store and coffee shop, cinemas etc. I would definitely return to stay here"
