Find the Cheap Hendra Hotels

It’s what you would expect from a budget hotel - basic but clean and serviceable. Only slight concern was doing out of hours checkin where a code was required to open a safe to get our key and we had no email/text notification. Were able to contact reception via an intercom to get it sorted though. Basic breakfast (with pancakes) was as advertised. About 10 min from airport at night.

We originally booked into the Novotel on a premium king room rate paying $319 to include breakfast. This was booked incorrectly due to some glitch in their booking system - which meant I couldn’t stay there at the time I wanted to and I was given a credit to use at another time. We used this credit last night and when checking in we were told we could park downstairs. No mention anywhere of cost. We went to our room and upon showering at around 11:30 - our shower was blocked and wouldn’t drain. We had to call front desk and at midnight nearly had to change rooms so we could shower. Came down in the mornign to have our buffet breakfast that we paid for - and we’re told that we weren’t on the list and couldn’t have breakfast without paying again. Off to reception and point out that not only did we actually already pay for breakfast in our original booking but pointed out that we have paid $319 for our room and right now on the website you can pay $310 for the same room WITH breakfast included. The manager Teresa was extremely unhelpful and told us that there’s nothing to be done about it. We would have to just wait to talk to reservation team in an hour. We decided to check out and leave. Still nothing mentioned about parking and yet when I go to exit the car park I was asked to pay $25 to validate parking! Absolutely unacceptable service. We should have been comped breakfast straight away as ANY one can see we clearly paid a rate that matches breakfast and it’s not OUR fault that Novotel lost track of it and didn’t book the follow up room properly. I travel for work multiple times a month and I will never recommend a Novotel again for either business or personal use.

Normally stay at the Ibis for an airport overnighter, but the rates have gone through the roof, so tried Airport Clayfield Motel for the first time instead. Had a double on the the third floor facing busy Sandgate Road. Friendly host, but mention of the secret luggage lift would have saved lugging bag up the steps. Room was fairly basic (if you compare with the Ibis!) and traffic noise levels not too bad, but guess accommodation to the rear would have been a bit quieter. Did have a very noisy neighbour though. Small, yet attractive pool area out the back. No pickup from airport, but a handy 10 minute drop off minibus service which starts at 6.45am. If you fancy nipping into the CBD there is a handy bus stop bang outside. Overall, adequate for one night.

It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening. There was no front desk staff, and the room card was left in the password box. As a result, the hotel has two addresses. We found another address according to the map of the hotel. After several weeks, we found the room card. There is no service call. If you don't understand the map and instructions in English, or if you have problems with your room card, you will definitely not be able to enter the room at night. It is not too close to the airport for 30 Australian dollars. The room usually has a musty smell. Upgrade to the nearest airport, suggest picking other homes, not recommended

I've stayed here a few times before as its convenient location to where im going. I usually stay for 12-14hrs as its an overnight stay between transit, so I've never used any facilities. The rooms are always clean & usually quiet if people are considerate & not being noisy.

Handy location, close to airport and dining options close by. Very helpful staff. Clean and comfy beds, a little dated but currently receiving a reno/facelift.

The room was clean & today & the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of hot water for the shower & basin but be careful as the hot water comes our extremely very very hot & instant. It seems everyone has trouble locating the key pads. This is because they are digital screens, so when you arrive you just see a box & no keypad. Ad this is a keyless entry check in hotel I would suggest the instructions explain you won’t see a key pad but a little box & tap on it to light up digital keypad. We were in room 13 next to the closed reception and we heard many people ringing the helpline because they couldn’t locate the key pad for entry to the carpark or hotel. Our TV kept switching off at night with the screen message no signal, so we couldn’t watch TV any night which was extremely disappointing. We had 2 chairs in the room and one had faulty legs and was unsafe to sit on. We found the location good as it was a very casual walk to restaurants & cafes in Racecourse Rd. There is a fish & chip takeaway shop directly opposite the hotel. We were a little disappointed in that we would have liked a balcony as per the photo, but not all rooms have balconies.

What a wonderful choice for a stay in Brisbane, The amazing Cameron was very helpful in helping me sort the best accommodation for our family group and ironed out any difficulties before and during our stay. The rooms where clean and spacious a great place to spend time with family, access with codes easy. Great location for services, restaurants, chemist, transport, airport, shopping even a fabulous thai massage a few doors down. The magpies on the deck a little friendly (I even managed to catch one) but not a hassle. Cafe 63 a few steps from the door became the family breakfast place. Had a wonderful time with grandchildren at the Hurcules Street Park, and went to an amazing Monet in Paris show which all generations of our family loved (including the baby) at Northshore. A ferry ride up the river into the city. All within walking distance. Good value for money.

We stayed at the raceways twice recently. On our way to Norfolk Island and again on the way back. We have stayed before because it is so handy to the airport. It was a good choice again this time. The motel is a “golden chain classic “. And it is a classic. It is clean the beds are really comfortable air conditioning is good and quite and the motel is in a very quiet street. It is really close to some amazing restaurants in racecourse road and only a couple of blocks to even more in the bretts wharves area. The hosts are very nice and helpful. The room is a good size and there is a big long bench to repack bags and sort out your gear and a table and chairs. Would recommend as a good choice for a basic motel. Pool too looked good.

Close to the airport and wonderful for an early morning flight, the hosts are very lovely and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable, everything was in working order. To be honest the air con was great on a hot day, and close to some to shops.
