Amora Hotel Brisbane
Lovely hotel, beautiful and clean. Staff are all friendly, helpful and professional. The room was lovely, nice comfy bed. Breakfast is great, nice selection of cooked foods, fruit, pastries, yoghurts etc. Great location, 5 minutes walk from central train station. The only thing I'd say it's missing ...
