Top hotels in Hendra
Ibis Budget Brisbane Airport
Room was clean & comfy, parking is easy. A convenient choice for anyone needing a room close to the airport.

Amora Hotel Brisbane
Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Considering it’s a 5 star hotel the room price is honestly a steal. Buffet breakfast was good, nothing extravagant but definitely gets the job done. Parking is a little steep but expected.

Ibis Styles Brisbane Elizabeth Street
Overall the place was okay but very noisy. I also accidentally booked my room for the wrong weekend, they wouldn’t even consider changing the date. I understand I didn’t purchase a flexible room; however, I wasn’t asking for a credit. It left very poor taste in my mouth and I wouldn’t use them again ...
