Only stayed one night at this pleasant apartment located adjacent to Holy Spirit Northside Hospital. The welcome was warm - but the water wasn't. I had a sleep in and got up at 8am and was surprised to find the shower was only tepid. The room was clean and well appointed - especially so for longer stays. No alcohol in... More

I have read most of the revues on trip advisor and agree with most of them and can understand where the negative revues are coming from, but can see they are being a little harsh.

I first stayed here last year and gave it full marks as an affordable shot term option in Brisbane.

We were heading to Brisbane for a couple of nights. Considered staying in the city but as we were driving we were reluctant to pay $60 or 70 for car parking plus Wifi charges in addition to a hotel bill of around $500. We found these apartments on Wotif and got a great deal of just over $300 for two... More

The Essence Apartments were well located for what we needed. It's close to the airport and has easy access to both the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. The nearby Chermside shopping centre and surrounds has some good restaurants. Our apartment was a good size, clean and quiet and we had a small private courtyard.

We stayed here as it was close to the Chermside Hospital. We enjoyed our stay this time and the Managers were very helpful. Modern, clean and has everything you could need. We stayed in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and were very pleased. No road noise in this apartment.
