In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Our #7 pick is the highest-rated stay on this list, and it's easy to see why. Capri by Fraser Brisbane is a Fraser Hospitality serviced residence on Albert Street in the heart of the CBD, with a lobby that feels modern and a little playful — newer-generation hotel rather than corporate apartment block. There are roughly 239 rooms, all done in a clean, contemporary style that photographs well and stays uncluttered. It's no surprise the place scores high; the rooms simply look and feel current.
Food and amenities
Every room has a kitchenette with a microwave and an espresso machine, so you can brew fresh coffee in your room every morning and reheat last night's takeaway without leaving the floor. Each room also has a proper work desk that's comfortable for a laptop, which makes it just as workable for business travelers as for couples on a city break. Shared facilities include a pool and a gym, and there's a guest laundry on site. Breakfast (Western, daily) and parking are both available for an extra charge — and parking needs to be booked ahead.
Location and getting there
The Albert Street address puts you a flat 5-minute walk from Queen Street Mall, Brisbane's main pedestrian shopping strip, and only about 0.4 km from the City Botanic Gardens on the river. From Brisbane Airport it's roughly 20 minutes by Airtrain into the CBD or by car, so arrivals are simple. You're central enough to leave the car parked and do most of the city on foot.
Things to know before booking
The headline catch is cost creep: breakfast and parking are both extras, and parking must be pre-booked, so factor those in if you drive or want a morning meal on site. The rooms have a kitchenette, not a full kitchen — fine for coffee and reheating, less so for cooking a real dinner. And because it holds the highest score on this list, it's popular: rooms book out fast in high season, so reserve well ahead for school holidays or big Brisbane events.
Our take
Capri by Fraser Brisbane suits couples and business travelers who want a modern, high-scoring room with a kitchenette at a fair rate — from around AUD$135 a night. If you value a well-designed room and the service guests rate highest on this list, this is the one we'd point you to.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- A 4-star Fraser Hospitality serviced residence with a clean, contemporary look — the lobby feels like a newer-generation hotel, not a bland apartment block.
- Around 239 rooms, and every one comes with a kitchenette, microwave, and espresso machine, so you can brew fresh coffee and reheat takeaway in your room.
- A guest pool, an on-site gym, and a real work desk in each room cover both downtime and laptop time.
- The guest score runs as high as 9.2 — the highest on this entire list — built on 234 Trip.com reviews praising clean rooms and steady service.
- Walkable from the start: about 5 minutes on foot to Queen Street Mall and roughly 0.4 km to the City Botanic Gardens.
- Breakfast and parking are both add-ons rather than included, and parking has to be pre-booked, so budget for extras if you drive or want a morning meal on site.
- Rooms have a kitchenette — a compact cooking corner with a microwave — not the full kitchen you'd get in a true serviced apartment, so it's better for reheating than cooking dinner from scratch.
- It's a popular address with a top score, which means rooms sell out fast in high season — book well ahead for school holidays or major Brisbane events.

Insider Tips
- Use the in-room kitchenette and espresso machine to skip the paid breakfast — a quick coffee and reheated pastry in your room saves on the daily extra.
- Walk to the City Botanic Gardens 0.4 km away first thing in the morning, before the CBD heats up, then loop back through Queen Street Mall.
- Book early — with the highest score on the list and limited rooms, this one fills fastest of any hotel here.
