Top hotels in Buranda
Quest Woolloongabba
The boom gate on the car park was not working when we arrived but was repaired by the time we left. One of the two lifts was not working for all of our stay. Our bathroom sink plug was stuck but one of the staff managed to dislodge it.

Had a great stay here. One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Everything was very good, breakfast was excellent, staff were so helpful particularly Lydia on reception. Great location for train station, river ferry and shops.

Very convenient location! Good access to Public Transportation and Great Shopping adjacent to the Hotel! Unfortunately, the Hotel room had VERY Poor Internet (SLOW and got disconnected several times). Also what Hotel does not have Facial tissue int the rooms?!?
