Jean
We had a short but very enjoyable stay in a cozy atmosphere. We also enjoyed a great dinner on site.
Mark
Terrific location for river taxis, restaurants and Southbank.
Blair
From the minute you walk in the welcome from all the staff is genuine, friendly and professional. The property itself has a lovely cosy laid back vibe and you’d never know it was a short walk from all the best entertainment that Brisbane has to offer. If you’re looking for the perfect venue for a romantic weekend break this is it. We will definitely be going back.
Andrew
A delightful blend of a new and modern hotel with an old traditional Queenslander house. The staff are fantastic and you are an easy walk to the very active New Farm riverside area.

Love the Balfour
This boutique hotel is divine, premium, fun convenient location out of the city but a walk to James St, New Farm Park and everything in the Valley. Service is personalised, rooms a gorgeous, breakfast is of the highest quality and bar area is beautiful if you’re enjoying a romantic getaway or business meeting. Can’t fault this place.
Robert
Perfect for our city weekend plans.

Best breakfast I have had all year.

Unfortunately my power to the room tripped around 9.30 pm which made it hard to see and work. The staff tried to help in the morning but the power kept tripping.
Renae
Exquisite luxury accom at an affordable price. Immaculate room. Fabulous staff. Will definitely stay again.
Stephen
Overall great location and large suites.
Minor issues. Vanity didn’t drain well. Musty smell in unit until aired out. We were challenged re taking unreserved seating at breakfast even as we had 4 rooms and breakfasts included. Admittedly it was Father’s Day but advance notice would have helped. Challenging guests is unprofessional. We travel extensively using 1class accommodation worldwide. At home the service could have been sharper. However overall this was an enjoyable time for us as we hosted our daughter’s wedding at Spicers and it was an amazing success. Just minor grievances.

Richard Dean
A great property that is truly oustanding. I had a wonderful stay.
Peter
Love Spicer's!
Had a marvellous stay. Clean and exceeded expectations. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Will be back for sure!
Kirsten
Disappointing
Hotel is fine, but honestly felt like quite a let down given my expectations from other reviews. The location is nice but other than that it felt quite basic. Also, no real facilities and we were put in a room in a separate building which was presented as an 'upgrade' to a suite but instead felt detached from the hotel. I was looking for a nice hotel stay and it felt a bit more like an airbnb where you couldn't even eat the snacks left out for you because it's actually the minibar. Sort of the worst of both worlds. Terrible water pressure for the shower and mould on the ceiling of the room.
stephanie
Loved the delicious food, the peacefulness, and the staff were phenomenal!!
Abraham
False advertising, do not stay here
This hotel should definitely not have 5 stars. Their service is atrocious. We arrived at 5p and there was no one at the hotel. No one to check us in, no one to help with bags. The hallways and walkway to our room was dark. We felt like we were entering an anondones house. The rooftop that was prominently displayed in the photo was closed. In short the entire experience was extremely disappointing.
Lori
This is a quaint hotel close to the bustling Howard Smith Wharf area with many dining and entertainment options as well as the very handy Brisbane ferry service to easily transport you to South Bank, another get spot to see while there.
The only issue is the rooms can be noisy with traffic and people chatting in the restaurant. The staff will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure you have anything you need to make your stay comfortable.

The breakfast was amazing! You can't tell how close you are to the city from your room.
Michelle

Lovely boutique hotel. Staff was terrific and breakfast, served on a gorgeous verandah, was delicious.

Peter
Wonderful Stay
Such a wonderful stay. The room was beautiful and felt very exclusive. The staff were so friendly and warm. The breaky each morning was DELICIOUS! Definitely reccomend.
Ralph
Great location with an easy walk into the Vally, CBD, New Farm and Newstead. Would stay again.
Hugh
Enjoyed
John and Pam
Things didn’t work and we had a room that stunk of sewerage, complained but nothing was done about it. I thought l,d booked a suite but it was a very very small room, never stay here again!
Barbara
The room was extremely nice, service was great and perfect location for the night.
Griffin
Brilliant stay
Natarsha
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The staff made you feel right at home from the moment we arrived to when we left. Big shout out to Murray for the care and chats. The homely, luxurious and spacious rooms and main building were perfect for our weekend away together, and walkable to New Farm, Valley Shopping, the river and DBC as well as the Howard Smith Wharves precinct. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
derrick
Very nice, well maintained clean room. Spacious well designed bathroom / shower.
David
I enjoyed our stay.
Suggestions:
1. I do not understand why you don't have the larger Nespresso machine which uses the larger capsules and can provide a larger cup of coffee
2. the coffee capsules were not topped up each day
3. Water pressure in shower was poor

We had just such a lovely stay sadly only for one night at this gem of a hotel. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful from start to finish. The food is amazing, we dined there in the evening. Go for the breakfast which was included in our stay, it’s fantastic! You may feel you’re out of the city but everything is much near than you think. Great rooftop bar to watch the sunset to end the day!
Susan
We liked the fact that it was close to cafes and restaurants in New Farm.
Felt the room was too dark and the bathroom / toilet had no door , only a shower curtain separating the bed from the bathroom/toilet . No privacy !

We thought the room for a 5* hotel was small. Some of the appliances had parts missing and rendered their use difficult. The TV remote was really cumbersome and with no printed instructions impossible to use.

Great room but located in noisy part of hotel.
I got a good rate online, but that meant I was put in the room next to the stairs and entrance and kitchen. Very noisy all afternoon and very early in the morning. I don’t recommend staying in room 7!

Great spot for us on the edge of the cbd without having to fight the traffic when coming from the airport, free parking sealed the deal. We were able to walk to Felons by the bridge to meet our friends, brilliant.
Good sized room in an old converted colonial mansion with more character than a bland modern hotel. Friendly checkin and helpful staff.
Would definitely go again!

We will definitely be back! This boutique hotel has delightful decor & attentive staff. The bed & pillows were very comfortable and the food is delicious. The deck is a lovely place to dine & the hotel is located on a quiet street. The rooftop bar is very cute & cosy, the perfect place to enjoy a pre or post dinner drink.

The Art Deco theme was just beautiful. Every little detail was thought of - from stylish magazines to browse, quiet areas, superb Asia-inspired cuisine, the rooftop, recycling, the front garden. Everything.
Parking for invited guests was a problem.

Better than the first impression
Upon arrival we were underwhelmed. Dingy downstairs reception was a poor start and the staff for checking in were not available. Parking was a problem as there were no available positions at the hotels (two) or in the street. Getting into and out of the parking area for the hotel (and nearby suites) was not easy when finding every spot was taken. We expressed our difficulty in parking only to be told parking would be better at the other address. It was not. In the end we were left stranded without parking at the hotel or in the street. Did anyone care? No. We were surprised that we were not staying at the address of 37 Balfour Street. In fact a few doors away. Entering our room which was noisy, dark and smelt of must, we were disappointed. The fridge and coffee making area was difficult to use. Not a great start. However, the hotel did grow on us after getting accustomed to facilities and decor we did not expect. The position of the hotel was not exactly classy or inviting. Shops were within a reasonable walk and the walk to the river was easy. Our expectations were much higher and not met. The bed was comfortable and we were able to close internal doors to almost overcome the noise and provide complete darkness.
Having breakfast at the main building gave a far better perspective of the hotel. Breakfast was first class and the staff likewise. The building at 37 Balfour Street too also created a feeling more in line with the tariff and hotel description.
Noise a problem.

nice walk into brisbane along the new river foreshore

This is a boutique hotel which means that it's a little different, but in a very pleasing way. Don't miss out on the breakfasts, they're absolutely awesome. It almost seems like half the property is a restaurant, which is very convenient, however on one of the two nights we stayed there was some noise after 10pm from restaurant patrons. Parking is also fairly limited. I loved the location, almost residential, however close enough to Brisbane to take a wonderful stroll along the Brisbane River Walk, which we did. There's an elevator down to the walk nearby and hotel staff directed us to it. All things considered, a wonderful place to stay.

Perfection for our Honeymoon
Everything from top to bottom was fantastic. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more welcoming. Balfour Kitchen has the best food on our trip; period. (We ate there twice)

The property has a grand “Queenslander” but the rooms are a little small

Little gem
In the heart of urbane New Farm, comfy n clean, excellent staff, pet friendly, excellent food, rooms are smallish but well appointed. A balcony would have made it perfect but the rooftop bar with city view made up for that.

Brilliant Boutique Brisbane Hotel
We had a very warm and welcoming stay at Spicers Balfour. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room lovely and all we needed for a quick one night stay. It was fantastic to be able to head up to the roof top bar to take in the view and have a quick drink before heading out. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful.

Great hotel but really noisy neighbours
Great hotel but the suites are three doors down the road from the hotel. The two properties in-between are sub-divided into small flats and are let to young people. We found that they partied until 2am on their verandas and we got little sleep due to the drunken shouting. Also breakfast is overly fussy with set meals coked to order. We waited an hour for a full cooked breakfast on the Sunday, when lots of locals come in to eat brunch. A buffet would suit us better.

We will return!
Our whole experience was delightful. The staff was first rate and always helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The atmosphere was lovely, as well as the grounds. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. We were within 20 minutes walking distance of cafes and bars. We would definitely stay there again.

Top choice
I arrived late afternoon and made my way up to the roof top terrace. With the honour bar and setting, what a perfect way to unwind. Although the room was smallish, it was high spec and comfortable. Breakfast was unbelievable.

Quiet location
Stayed two nights in a quiet location. Had dinner in restaurant at hotel and it was excellent. Breakfast was included and that was excellent too. Will stay there again when in Brisbane. Not too far to walk to the river and you could even walk to Brisbane CBD if feeling energetic. Overall a wonderful experience.

It was awesome , will recommend to everyone and be coming back, may even organise my wedding there.

Great hotel hidden near the City centre
Met at reception by the manager who could not have been more welcoming. I appreciated the email before arrival. The hotel was quiet and very happy to offer both early and late checking times at no cost. Would definitely stay again
