"The hotel is reasonable new, modern, and impeccably maintained. The majority of the staff are highly professional, well trained, and consistently delivered an exceptional level of service throughout our stay. The bar and lounge areas are well designed, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, although we did not have the opportunity to make use of the facilities on the occasion. We also would like to express our sincere appreciation for the warm hospitality extended to us during our special occasion. The thoughtful hotel gifts were a lovely gesture and greatly appreciated. Overall, our experience at Amora Hotel Brisbane was most enjoyable, and we would be happy to recommend the hotel."
