Clean, Convenient, quiet

This was our second stay at Essence Serviced Apartments. I have had to travel here to attend Holy Spirit Hospital. I was super pleased this time to have the same room that we received last time, as it was quite comfortable. We arrived late, and gave reception a heads up. They are always very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have all the conveniences you could need such as a kitchenette with a small oven and dishwasher.

So convenient for Hospitals and Chermside Shopping centre.

The Staff here were very helpful with our change of dates. We were involved in a 5 car pile up on the Bruce Highway towards Noosa the day we arrived in Brisbane. We were supposed to come on Saturday however as we had no car and my husband went into hospital we stayed at my Sons the extra day.

Everything they said was true.

Recently my husband had heart surgery at Holy Spirit Northside Brisbane. I wanted to be there with him and after some research chose Essence Serviced Apartments.
