- Cicely (7/5): We ended up booking an extra 2 nights there after finding it to be in such a good location - We liked everything about the location, as it was an easy drive from the Airport & Rental Car pickup and right by Portside.

- DUGGAN (5/5): - Proximity to airport The lack of after hours service
- shayne (10/5): - Very convenient across the street from Hamilton Hotel. Quite night sleep. Bonus Airport drop off. Nothing
- Mark (8/5): - Good service
- DUGGAN (5/5): -
- Marina (7/5): -
- Kerry (6/5): - comfortable bed tv remote not working couldn’t change channels air con didn’t work at all and very hard to see where the rooms were at 10 pm needs lighting at door
- John (10/5): Best place to stay if you are Cruising from Brisbane. - This motel is older but that is ok. Most of the room was new. Its attraction is the host family will take you to the cruise port for 5$A. So location is not an issue. It is close to the airport but not at the airport so your Uber/taxi is less than other motels. The owners/family were very nice. If I cruise out of Brisbane again I will stay here. The price is right and the transportation is right. Some plates would have been nice. Has microwave and tea kettle and fridge.
- Pru (6/5): A budget stay, utilitarian in tired facilities, clean and tidy, no people anywhere, all entry and exit via notices and c - The price was low It was a long way from the airport and a busy (free) bus ride wound its way to the hotel
- Georgina (6/5): Good value for money and free airport drop-off - Free drop-off to the airport (must book this when you book your room as only 2 options first thing in morning) Courteous staff. Comfy bed. Right beside Hamilton Hotel so it’s very convenient for dinner. Also 5 minutes walk from the City Cat jetty if arriving via public transport. Getting very tired. A well used Motel. Needs painting out and some new curtains and carpets.
- Susan (6/5): Saw no one just slept showered and deposited the key - As I was delayed in arriving by cancelled flights and only there for a few hours of much needed sleep
- Andrew (3/5): - Lovely hostess Apart from... Finger marks on the walls.. someone's soap in the shower... Shower head so loose it washed the bathroom... So close to the road that every car door sounded like mine....and everytime anyone in the complex closed their door my windows rattled.. otherwise it was clean (ish). Ohh... And the light switch was hidden behind the pillows!
- Teresa (10/5): Perfect for overnight stay before early morning airport check in, lovely helpful staff and an airport transfer included, - Great location, close to airport, very quiet for a good night sleep. Very friendly team, easy transfer to airport included. Everything you need within walking distance, restaurants, supermarket, eat street-food markets, city cat water taxi.
- Yu-Jung (10/5): 附近的餐廳東西都好吃、環境優美且櫃檯人員態度親切熱情,我有疑問都能馬上協助服務。浴室的水壓足夠、熱水也來很快,還有附吹風機超讚👍 - 距離餐廳、超市都很近且櫃檯人員態度親切 沒有
- andrew (9/5): - Good place to stay, near the airport.
- Suzy Thomas (7/5): -
- Stephen (6/5): -
- Janet (8/5): -
- ILENIA (7/5): - Gli spazi della stanza, la pulizia, e la disponibilità della struttura nel risolvere alcune problematiche. Il posto dove è situato sembra un po' fatiscente, e seppure sono 11 km dall' aeroporto con i mezzi di trasporto ci metti 40 minuti e i taxi Uber non hanno tariffe così competitive per i pochi km di distanza.Io poi sono dovuta andare e tornare più volte perché la compagnia aerea mi aveva perso il bagaglio, e se non scegli la soluzione "shared" è un bagno di sangue. Il pick up offerto dalla struttura c'è solo in due ore alle 6 e alle 8 di mattina, questo nella mail a prenotazione con booking non era specificato.
- Laura (10/5): - It was close to transport and some shops .. The free shuttle to the airport was amazing . The room was good .and the communication with the staff was great the beds were comfortable would stay again . Good price for what it is. A little a bit mold in bathroom behind the door it was the size of Aussie 50c apart from that nothing bad about it
- Neville (8/5): - Location Clean ok for 1 night
- Kim (4/5): It was convenient for a very short stay but probably would not stay again sorry - The location was great the staff were lovely and helpful Not like the pictures at all
There were no dishes or cutlery to use
The remote to tv did not work we had to use our own batteries the heater didn’t work there was a large gap under the door so was breezy the pillows looked old and awful
- Greg (7/5): -
- Weeks (7/5): -
- Devine (3/5): necessary to needs. transit - location dilapidated old room, squeeky floor, narrow staircase, bathroom out of the room down a hallway
- Lola (9/5): -
- William (8/5): Convenient for airport - I have stayed here several times. The building has some age but it is clean and comfortable and is handy to the airport. would recommend this motel
- Heather (3/5): - When we asked for something staff responded positively Windows were left open to the verandah prior to our arrival. The neighbours were smoking on the verandah and our room stunk of cigarette smoke.
The door did not fit into the door jam properly, so as the neighbours continued to smoke on the verandah, the smoke filtered into the unsealed doorway. I am asthmatic and this was a real issue for me.
There was no crockery and cutlery in the room (as advertised), staff tried to tell me it needed to be requested - I checked the booking details and it was definitely included in the booking.
The advertised free shuttle bus service to the airport was no longer free.
The booking was made for self catering and free shuttle bus service.
- Shirley (9/5): For the price, it was great value. Clean and comfortable and conveniently located - Convenient and close to the river and pub
- Terri (8/5): -
- krystal (1/5): Location is handy, that's the only positive. - Location is good. Great cafes close by. Convenient to airport and other services. Communication from staff was good. And late check in was handy getting in on a late flight. I've stayed at a lot of budget places but have always had the mind set of yeh its cheap and outdated, but at least it's clean... this place was atrocious!. Immediate strong smell of old sweat/urine when you walked in and on closer inspection of the beds..well... it made me want to just turn around and walk out. Unfortunately I was so tired from travel I picked the "cleanest" of the 3 beds and got a few hours sleep. Then was out of there as soon as I could(without a shower as it was covered with weird bugs). I don't think of myself as having high expectations but I wouldn't let my dog sleep on these beds.
- Roslyn (5/5): Disappointed - Bathroom clean & renovated. We were on first floor, only stair access
Very old facility
Photos on line were depicted with the rooms having fresh, bright decor
But n fact they were old, tired & unpleasant surroundings and much smaller than depicted.
- Shane (8/5): - races
- Amanda (8/5): Safe and Sound - warm bed, great shower, private, quiet, tea coffee milk bisciuts..nice I was unable to access my room on arrival, this was due to my incorrect cell phone number (my fault) which i have updated now
- Saskia (10/5): Great motel - Close location to the airport, big sized room with aircon unit. A bit noisy being next to the road but not really a problem.
- Wharmby (6/5): - Proximity to restaurants
Comfy bed No shuttle available to take us to airport so had to pay for Uber which was unexpected expense
- Kenter-Hupkes (7/5): -
- Judy (10/5): Fantastic - Fantastic airport drop off
- Wakelin (10/5): - Would highly recommend staying here. Very clean and comfy rooms and free shuttle to the airport included. Great service and value for money, thank you 😁 Decor a bit outdated but that doesn't bother us
- Bystrom (5/5): Disappointing - Convenient to food on a public holiday Nothing like the photos, run down, they supply toaster kettle and microwave but no plates or cutlery. So what’s the point.
- Linda (9/5): Great location to airport and comfortable bed - Comfy bed, close to pub for dinner and 15mins to airport. Closed window before going out and came back to cigarette smell in the room. Opened door and window and put aircon on to get rid of the smell.
The decor was bland not like the photos on booking.com. No retro artworks, doilies or colourful bedcovers/cushions. Only 1 vase of fake flowers remained. Bring back the retro artworks!
- Ian (8/5): -
- Miguel (8/5): -
- Ilse H Thomas (8/5): -
- MIYUKI (6/5): 普通 - エアポートに近く、早朝に車で送ってもらえる。
スタッフの方は感じ良い。 バスルームは壊れているのか照明がつかなかった。
- Justin (10/5): -
- Paul (8/5): Very comfortable and convenient for the price - Location convenient to the airport for an early morning departure. Good value, quiet, hot shower and comfortable bed. One side of the double bed was right against the wall, which was not ideal.
- Thomas (10/5): Very nice stay will be back, Really appreciate the Airport drop off shuttle - Very nice stay will be back, Really appreciate the Airport drop off shuttle N/A
- Snell (9/5): -
- Denise (9/5): Enjoyable and great location - The location of Motel Nothing
- Amanda (7/5): -
- Paula (8/5): - Close to City Cat and Airport. Great pub across the road.
- Lynnette (8/5): Rooms are quirkily dated but in a good way; clean, functional and staff are great! - Convenient location to shops & restaurants, but if you are too tired to go out the in room microwave is a bonus with Woolies Metro just down the road and a Coles only a few blocks away.
- Robert (1/5): Booking.com needs to review it's accommodation standards. This motel is nothing short of a dump. - I liked nothing about this motelo. I didn't like:
1. The location - it is nowhere near the airport and to call itself the Airport Riverview Motel is very misleading.
2. The room - rips in the curtain, faulty light in the bathroom, no lightshade in the lounge/bedroom.
- Vikki (9/5): Comfortable and friendly - Location Nothing
- Anne (8/5): -
- Denis the menace (9/5): -
- Annette (7/5): -
- Christine (7/5): It was adequate for one night. - Clean and comfortable beds No cutlery or plates
- George (8/5): Great location to Brisbane Airport, very friendly staff Manager - Manager was excellent help with any information, provided free shuttle to airport the next morning.
Across the road there are several restuarant options. Short walk to river ferries which connect to city. Accomodation was as described by owner no issues.
- Leesa (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Very good, served my purposes well - Close to Brisbane airport, easy to get to, close to bus stops and transport n/a
- chris (4/5): Overnight - Location is excellent Very old that looks like a DYI fixup
