Considering that Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and Australia's third biggest city, a short Brisbane accommodation guide could just as easily end up as a fat book. Thing is, there are just so many choices, from motels and backpackers to hotels and resorts. There are also non-traditional visitor accommodations, such as farms and caravans.
For those looking for cheap accommodations, there are a huge number of backpackers in the City. There are many bunched around the Roma St. Transit Centre, and also in the West End and South Bank. The other option is Fortitude Valley, but hat's going to need an entire new section, so hold that thought.
The most visitor-friendly Backpackers are to be found in the West End. They usually have everything that guests look for in cheap accommodations, and then some. Common facilities include a swimming pool, kitchen, game room and/or bar, and wi-fi internet all over the place. Some will even offer a free ride to the Transit Centre.
For those looking for something a little more luxurious, the large luxury hotels are in Southern Brisbane. The best ones are close to the Convention Centre, Kangaroo Point and the QPAC. Another place to find posh hotels suitable for business and leisure travelers is around the Airport.
Of course, the 5-star hotels and the sprawling resorts are at one end of the available options. The cheap backpackers and YHA are at the other end. In between, there's a lot of space filled by motels and B&B's and all kinds of lodging choices.
Unconventional accommodation options for tourists include apartments and vacation homes. There are also luxury cottages and farm-houses available, for those willing to look beyond Brisbane City. Options in the Greater Brisbane area include Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast accommodations.
Coming back to Fortitude Valley, it offers one of the most sought after locales for tourists and visitors who want to have a good time without spending too much. The accommodations are cheap and the nightlife and the pubs are good. As an added advantage, it is just a couple of stops away by train from Roma St, and also offers a direct train to the airport.
Lastly, there are caravans and campgrounds for those who want to experience the outdoors and the best of Queensland. Renting a caravan can be especially cheap and convenient. It not only takes care of accommodation, but also transport to all the attractions. To be noted that caravans, apartments, cabins and cottages are all more economical than a hotel room. This is especially true for extended stays and if the rent is shared by a group.
In summary, a Brisbane accommodation guide, not unlike the city itself, is a vast melting-pot with many choices. It all depends on the nature of the visit, and the budget. There are areas more suitable for business travelers and others better for pleasure seekers. From expensive 5-star hotels and sprawling resorts to bunk bed dorms, there's something for everyone.
