AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

At ibis Budget Brisbane Airport, travellers report a very basic stopover close to the terminals, with tiny, dated rooms and traffic noise, mixed cleanliness, and inconsistent service, offset by convenient airport access and some friendly, efficient front-desk staff.

What guests think

Many reviews note there is no lift and no airport shuttle, and the industrial location has few dining options, so most guests rely on taxis or deliveries. Rooms are extremely small, basic and dated, with frequent traffic or A/C noise and some maintenance issues, though a number of guests found the beds comfortable. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with recurring comments about dust, stains or odors and occasional reports of pests, while others say their rooms were clean. Expect a simple, short stay geared to catching flights rather than comfort.

This hotel delivered exactly what it promised: A very basic hotel, close to the airport. Be warned that the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so if you don't like carrying luggage up/down flights of stairs, then you should try to get a room on the ground floor

It certainly is a budget Motel and that fine, But they had a luggage weight scale which I thought was a great idea but there was a cost of $2 FOR 30 SECONDS, not $2 for it usage. I mentioned it to the staff and they told me it wasn't theirs. What a joke. By the time you load your 1st bag and then any other bags you have to pay more. I told them it was an insult and it should be taken away

Room 320 was clean and functional but tired and overdue for refurbishment. The price is steep for what it is. The bed is comfortable but I didn't sleep well due to the constant noise from the nearby motorway. The window is double-glazed but the rubber around the glass has perished and the window doesn't seal tight. Try for a room at the rear of the property as the noise may be less prominent.

Incredible lack of communication with staff. Was going to check in late so rang, as was required to get instructions for late check-in. Rang at least 30 times, left literally dozens of messages. Got one call answered and was told they'd send instructions, she didn't bother. Finally got through late afternoon to an actual human who answered my question. Shocking service.

This property should be avoided at all costs. They left me stranded at the airport without a room. I specifically followed their guidelines to let them know my flight was getting in late at 11:30pm, and provided an email address. They told me they would send my room number and code the day off. Early morning day of I had not received the room code so I sent them another reminder. They did not respond or provide the room code. I was stranded and had to find a hotel room last minute at a much higher cost. Read other reviews which are similar to mine. AVOID this hotel!

We always stay here as its really convenient and comfortable. This time we felt the reception guy was pre occupied, and I swear he put us in the furthest room in the building to lug our bags up 3 sets of stairs, right at the end of the building, so we could hear the traffic all night, and our window was right under a flood light. We will stay here again as they are great little rooms and the staff are usually very friendly and helpful.

Check In Staff were a bit quiet and not overly welcoming! Very pokey rooms. Dining area wasn’t very clean. Breakfast was minimal but good. Housekeeping Staff were nice and friendly. You only get 2 towels, no face washer or seperate soap in sink/ shower. Not worth $133 a night but conveniently located near airport. Noisy traffic all night. No lifts so carrying luggage downstairs and upstairs isn’t much fun

If you are getting in on a late flight ask the others in the taxi line if they are heading there as when I showed up about 4 taxis from the airport arrived at the same time. You could potentially save on a $30 taxi ride that was only about 5 minutes long. Good breakfast options too.

The room is very old and in poor taste. The breakfast (an extra $10) is terrible. The food they offer has been open for days, and everyone has been using the same containers. If you want muffins or decent coffee, you have to pay another $7. The breakfast area is very dirty and messy. Extremely disappointed.

Just be aware the budget in the title is correct. The hotel is very dated and could use some renovations, specifically on the floors in the bathroom. The rooms are quite small, but the beds and pillows are comfy. My rooms were clean but I did note some of the other review comments about cleanliness of rooms. I think the bathroom floors are heavily stained but not necessarily dirty, but the look of them is not great. There is no soundproofing so you can hear the traffic, the doors on the floor slamming, and people talking/coughing in surrounding rooms. There is also no elevator so if you have a heavy suitcase, be prepared that you might have to lug it up a number of flights of stairs. Thankfully I was in the 2nd floor for both overnight stays. There is also no food nearby, and no restaurant onsite so you may need to bring food in or utilise Uber Eats. Also the cost of a taxi from the airport ranges between $23-$30 one way, so what you are saving price wise, may/may not be worthwhile given the closer proximity to the other 2 airport hotels that are within walking distance to the airport. There is parking if you have a vehicle, I am not sure if the hotel charges for parking as I didn’t arrive by vehicle. The hotel was adequate but I would probably not choose to stay again unless there was no other option, but for budget conscious travellers I am sure the cost is very reasonable for proximity to the airport.
