Soho Motel

Brisbane


A short hop from Roma St Station, this red-brick, 50-room joint is better inside than it looks from the street, with tasteful, compact rooms featuring little balconies. The owners are friendly and savvy, and pay attention to the little things: free wi-fi, 11am check-out, free (limited) parking, custom-made furniture and plush linen. Good value for money.
