What guests think

At Airport International Motel Brisbane, travelers highlight spacious, generally clean rooms and friendly staff, plus a handy location for the airport and Portside/Hamilton dining, while noting the property’s age, ongoing renovations, and intermittent noise from the busy road.

Several guests reported the elevator out of service and parts of the building affected by past flooding. After-hours check-in and communication about deposits or access codes drew repeated complaints, with limited reception hours causing confusion for some arrivals. There is no on-site dining for many stays, but numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance. Expect a practical overnight stop with good value and some rough edges.

Facilities

Free on-site parking is handy, but renovations and flood damage have left facilities uneven: the lift was often out of service and the on-site restaurant closed. The small pool and laundry drew mixed feedback.

In the process of doing some renovations (noted on the website)-we stayed one night & didn’t notice any noise. Staff was friendly; check in was very easy & fast. Appreciated use of free washer & dryer-was located in an area that would be uncomfortable to use after dark however. Overall was fairly basic but reasonable value for the money.

This is a local establishment convenient to airport. Close to river trail and nice restaurants; as well as quaint shops and grocery stores. The building is aged, though maintained well. The kitchenette is a nice surprise. The downside is having to pay for cab to get here and back to airport since we have large luggage. Bus would be an option if we travelled light. They also let us store the luggage while we explored the area after check out. Pool is small, and the laundry machine did not work.

Lift was not working. No dining facilities, dining room destroyed in Cyclone in January? Still not repaired. I thought airport international hotel would be in close proximity to the airport, not a 10 minute $40 cab away. Staff however, were excellent, over and above. Also, annoyed at constant emails to complete check-in procedure days before I was even in the state!

Stayed on the second floor in a great room with lovely high ceilings. Comfortable bed. Lovely leafy outlook through the window. The only thing that stopped this from being a 5 star review was the heavily mould stained shower which was disappointing. The only way to fix would be to regrout given the age of the bathroom, but I would recommend the hotel to do this as it would really improve the room for travellers who want a nice hot shower and a comfy bed (really that’s ALL that people want from an airport hotel)

We choose this place on its proximity to the airport as we had an early morning flight. The lady at the desk was lovely and helpful. The room was clean at a glance, but closer inspection revealed the window sills were thick with dust, cobwebs and dead bugs. Many other surfaces such as skirtings and the toilet roll holder very dusty too, thankfully the shower was nice and clean. Definitely overdue for a spring clean in between the usual room turnover!

The carpet in my room was wet in 1 area, looks like someone tried to clean it prior to our arrival as there was a stain on it. Was advised by staff that the room was down for maintenance for some days prior so obviously management didn’t inspect the room properly before they reinstated it.

So tricky to address this stay. Reception was unfortunately out to lunch for another half hour when I arrived. I was able to sit in air conditioned comfort but would have been tricky if a group had done so. The room (66) was broken nearly everywhere you looked. Plantation shutters broken (no privacy or other curtains there), dust all over them. Massive plaster cracks in the ceiling and corners. HUGE cracks. Bathroom tiles not sealed at mirror - in fact a spacer is still in there! lol. But here's the thing. That bed is one of the most comfy I've ever slept in and when I was a bit mopey about heat and humidity the aircon was a blessing. The maintenance chainsaw waking me each day plus the fact it was too easy to hear other guests noise means I wont stay there again but I will always remember those sleeps as some of the best of my life.

Remember what travelling was like in the '90s? Lots of space, a kitchenette with a microwave, toaster and a kettle, your own bathroom, a carpark and staff who are genuinely interested in you. Well, that's what this motel is like. Admittedly, its decor has probably not had a facelift since the 90s too, but I really liked the spacious room, amenities and friendly staff - beats an overpriced, tiny Air BnB. The area around the hotel is also quite nice.

The room was spacious and very clean. It would be great for a family on an overnight stay before heading to the airport as it had a kitchenette too. The shower lacked pressure, but all in all, it was in a good position, close to the airport, and a clean room with parking included for the cost of the stay. Well done folks.

Being in a room facing the main road on a Friday night was quite loud. Even with windows shut it sounded like a drag strip, which wasn't ideal when needing to rest to get to airport early. Not at fault of owners and property was very clean. Would stay here again but request a room closer to their carpark.

Great little property near the airport and about 5 min walk from the local pub and eateries along the waterfront. Only disappointed about the wifi at the property, there are multiple ones to connect to but unfortunately none have strong access and constantly dropped out. I imagine this is the telco’s fault as there was little phone service at the property as well, hopefully it gets upgraded! I will stay again, staff were lovely and the cleaning staff always greeting you with a smile on their faces!

The room was nice enough but the bathroom had very dim lighting. The worst thing about this is that the deposit held during check in was not released at so almost a month now and there is still a pending transaction on my card. The direct contact number is near impossible to et through so I ended up wasting a lot of time chasing them up to release the deposit. The hassle of doing this makes it a very poor choice

This hotel is ridiculous. They allow to be discovered in the PAY AT HOTEL category in the search bar but then as soon as booked started harassing me for full payment. Via email and even missed calls!!! Before the FREE CANCELLATION period even passed. When I called to check other details about this the only response was one that was both rude and dismissive. Citing that their own subset of rules superceded the info displayed on the hotels app. Completely missing my point. I even explained that this added a layer of stress and pressure that was utterly unnecessary while travelling.

Reception is non existent. Showed up to check in at 1230 and no one at reception and a note saying check in after 2pm. Returned at 430pm and again no reception and locked out of the hotel now… telephone outside the door does not work. 2 other check ins showed up also. Together we got ahold of someone who directed us to envelopes in a safe outside which contained our keys for entry. It was a very bizarre check in process. The unit itself was clean and cozy

The property itself and the rooms are only average and just ok for the price. The lack of a microwave any where on the property for guest use is a huge negative. Also, accessibility is a major problem. There's a lift but you need to go up or down two steps to use it! The worst thing about staying here is the lack of staff on-site and checking in after hours. Even on my third stay it was impossible to contact any one to arrange a late check-in. When we finally arrived after travelling all day I was stuck on a special phone near the door in the freezing cold yelling out my Visa numbers to some hard of hearing, random call centre person for an outrageous bond (still not returned) - even though I had paid well in advance and was a returning customer. Anyone walking past or in the carpark could of heard me. Very unsafe. There was one car park left, the furthest from the door of course, so trudging back and forth to do this, then accessing keys from a safe to open the foyer doors then stairs to a dodgy lift and then different keys to a very smelly room was just too much at that time of night. We won't be back unless there's no other option. The Brisbane motel market just has too many other options at this price point to be treated so impersonally.

Close to Brisbane airport, large room, biscuits & hot chocolate provided along with tea & coffee, milk and water. Walking distance to loads of excellent restaurants & a Foodary across the road. We had a room that faced the road so a little noisy at times, I wear ear plugs so not an issue. The lift was not working due to flooding, but it did not worry us or our travel party too much but may be difficult for elderly people or those with mobility issues. I’m sure it will be fixed soon.
