Excellent location, close to CBD and South Bank. Perfect apartment, practical and functional. The plus side- the balcony with river view and the car parking.
For me - the most amazing aspect was the proximity to the running / cycling track along the river, I really enjoyed each early morning running exercise.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kennigo Hotel. The location was ideal for us, tucked away in a quiet, leafy part of Fortitude Valley but still close enough to walk into the heart of the Valley and explore Brisbane.
Our room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We particularly liked how peaceful the hotel felt despite being so close to the city. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which always makes such a difference.

My sister and I booked a last minute stay in the middle of the night and when we got there at 1am in the morning, the staff couldn’t be more helpful! We were checked on by Ussain (sorry if I have spelled that wrong I imagine I did) and he couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful! Amazing service. On check out we dealt with Lane who was also lovely. Excellent service, good location and good room.
