Expert reviews:

Fodor's

"With service, style and hospitality above and beyond the call of duty, Spicers Balfour is a distinctly local, disarmingly welcoming experience." Full review

Rough Guide

"A hip boutique hotel home to nine cushy yet compact rooms... For more space, splash out on a courtyard or terrace room."

The Telegraph

7.0

"This boutique nine-room hotel offers chic, urban luxury (and a small day spa) in one of Brisbane’s hippest inner-city suburbs." Full review

Make sure you squeeze in time for a sundowner in the rooftop bar; it serves free munchies after 5:30pm.

Mr & Mrs Smith

"A renovated, 110-year-old classic Queenslander topped with a 24-hour rooftop bar – perfect for impromptu nightcaps – this stylish spot makes for an ideal urban escape." Full review

Time Out

"You’re in the genteel inner suburb of New Farm, with bakeries, cafés and bars all within shouting distance; the city and Fortitude Valley are barely more than a 15 minute walk away too. " Full review

Lonely Planet

"The nine fancy rooms here score highly in the style and comfort stakes, spread over two levels in a lavishly renovated old Queenslander." Full review
