Late arrival due to flight times. Complex key retrieval process due to the need to make a phone call and then use 1 of 2 safes. In the morning all of the team we dealt with were exceptional, offering us breakfast options near the hotel. Would stay there again, without question.

Hotel Kingsley was clean and convenient and perfect for our one night stay in the Brisbane area. The most outstanding feature of this property, though, was the property manager, Helen. She was incredibly friendly and very informative. Every time we entered the lobby, both coming and going, she would go out of her way to greet us and ensure that everything was satisfactory. She provided background information concerning the area in which the hotel was located and suggestions for breakfast and dinner including, of course, the hotel's restaurant. If we are able to return to Brisbane in the future, we will definitely stay at Hotel Kingsley!

This was a really nice hotel in great proximity to the airport and the guy who checked me in was very friendly and professional. The room itself was very small, but still comfortable. I think the biggest downside was the bathroom. It’s so old and dated... Looked like 1980’s style. The shower door was mouldy and wouldn’t close properly so the floor was soaked and the shower mixer was difficult to use and the hot/cold signs on the mixer were missing. The bedside light wasn’t working either. I’d stay here again but I would be requesting a room that had been updated and at the back of the hotel away from the busy Intersection.

I highly recommend Kingsford Smith Motel. We had horrible problems traveling and staying there certainly helped turn our trip around. We had not received our luggage from the airline we flew in on and were due to leave on a cruise. Being from the USA we were far from home and Helen, the owner and manager, went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She also personally drove us to the airport to retrieve our lost luggage. That kind of hospitality is very rare. And her motel is perfectly lovely!! You will certainly satisfied if you choose to stay there.
