Tips for booking accommodation in Brisban

A lot of travellers who are visiting Brisbane for the first time think that they only have one option when it comes to the location of their accommodation – Brisbane CBD.

If you’re in town looking for entertainment, clubs and some of the best restaurants, then Brisbane CBD is a great choice when it comes to where book your accommodation. The CBD also boasts the finest hotels and apartments Brisbane has to offer, the Treasury Casino, the Botanical Gardens and of course the Queen Street Mall so you’ll certainly never run out of things to see and activities to do in this great city of ours.

In this article, I will provide you with useful tips on how you can easily book accommodation in Brisbane apartments and Hotels.

Book in advance. This is a must, particularly if you’re going during the high season. June to November is typically when Brisbane receives the biggest number of tourists. The high season is best for whale-watching and also when festivals including Queensland Music Festival and Brisbane Fine Wine Festival are held so there’s plenty to do on your visit. My suggestion is to book your apartment 2-3 months before your stay.
Use the Internet. For your convenience and to save time, I’d suggest that you use the Internet when you’re searching for the best accommodation in Brisbane CBD. Using Google, simply search for the term “Brisbane apartments in the CBD” and you’ll surely get hundreds of websites on the search page results (replace apartments with hotels if you prefer to stay in a hotel). List down the ones that you think will compliment your budget and your preference. For example, if you’d like to stay very near a particular establishment, make sure you book a Brisbane apartment that is in walking distance so you can save time and money on transport.
Read reviews. Make use of TripAdvisor and read the reviews written by previous guests. Through this, you’ll know exactly what to expect. I was once considering booking a holiday package for weekend away in Sydney, but then I read a review from a TripAdvisor member and it made me think again. Follow my footsteps and avoid committing costly mistakes by simply listening to other guests who have already stayed in the hotel that you’re seriously considering.
Consider the amenities and facilities. You’ll want your holiday to be as convenient and enjoyable as possible. When looking at the available Brisbane apartments, check out amenities and facilities that you consider non-negotiable. Is there a WiFi connection, pool, and spa? Do they offer transfer services to and from the airport? Do they have a help desk that can help you book your tours?

So there you have it, when it comes to booking accommodation in the CBD you’re best to book ahead and use the internet. Before you confirm your booking, check other guest’s reviews and consider the amenities and facilities on offer to ensure they have everything you need for an enjoyable holiday.

If you’ve already done your research, you’ll know accommodation in Brisbane CBD can be extremely expensive. If you’re cash-strapped or if you simply want to stretch your dollar further, consider booking Brisbane apartment accommodation here at Bridgewater Terraces. Located at Kangaroo Point, we are just 1 km away from Brisbane CBD. In addition to our great location, we also offer amazing rates, which start at just $140 per night for one-bedroom apartment.

Stopped there for 3 weeks. Good location, nice internal facilities. Rooms were not cleaned well enough. Dust here and there, plus found an old razor in the bathroom. however I would put 3.5 stars for overall experience which wasn't bad. My major concern is safety and security of the apartments. My car was broken into at night on secure underground parking. Car's door was broken and my personal belongings were stolen. Management told me they are not responsible for the damage and loss because of the signs they put on parking walls. This accident put my rating down to 1 star.If you have a car I would recommend to park it underground despite the secure gates installed.

Bridgewater terraces is the perfect place to stay for business or leisure. It is conveniently located within reach of Southbank, the CBD, local hospitals and convention centres ect. I stayed at the apartment for over 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed my time. I found the complex to be perfectly manicured and maintained, quiet and loved the cafe next doors. The river view is also very relaxing. The location is perfect for children and my kids loved walking through the gardens, splashing in the pool and walking to the nearby park and playground. Ray and Dennis in management were very helpful, attentive, compassionate and a pleasure to deal with.

Booked to stay at Bridgewater Terraces and looked forward to our visit. The views of the river are magnificent and this was the main, and as it turned out, the ONLY attraction.Initially the room looked OK until we discovered that it appeared NOT to have been cleaned! The old cooker was filthy and had to be scrubbed before we could use it. None of the cutlery or dishes were from same sets. The windows may have been wiped, but with a greasy rag. Having completed our own clean we sat down on a badly worn, sagging sofa which had stains and grease marks all over it. If that wasn't bad enough, the shower screen came off its rusty rails and there were many loose surrounding tiles. When the tumbler drier gave up, so did we and we checked out!Such a pity, Well manicured gardens and a fantastic location but the apartment interior was old and tattered and from our experience, very little effective management. Just to put the boot in, wifi is NOT free and is horrendously expensive. Stay here at your peril!!

Stayed here with a few guests and booked 3 rooms during February. Reception were only too kind and gave us really good tips on the Brisbane area. Rooms were spacious and quite modern. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

Stars rounded up because management were friendly. We got a neat well furnished apartment looking over the river. Appliances are modern but the washer and dryer are cheap. The dryer is faulty but useable if you jury-rig it. The bathroom floor drain doesnt have a trap so youre best off covering it to prevent air from venting out. Everything else was nice, the pool is a plus and the location is good.
