Listed below are the QUT designated temporary accommodation options for you to choose from. All are close to the city centre and QUT's Gardens Point campus. Make your own booking directly with one of the providers below and let them know that you are an international student studying with QUT. International Student Services (ISS) has arranged special rates for QUT international students.

Staff at all the motels/ hotels below are very approachable and are familiar with the needs of students. Food can be purchased either at the motel or within walking distance. Prices range from $23 (backpacker style- dorm of 4) to approx. $110 (single hotel room) and subject to availability.

For map locations of these motels/ hotels use www.whereis.com.au

It is advisable to book your accommodation as soon as you know your flight date, to give you the best chance of obtaining your first choice of accommodation. We suggest that you book yourself for two or three nights, even longer if you arrive on the weekend. Students usually find permanent accommodation within a week of arriving in Brisbane.

Once you've made your booking indicate which temporary accommodation option you've chosen on the ISS Airport Reception form before submitting it to ISS. Students booking into any temporary accommodation in the city will be transferred from the airport compliments of the university.

If there are no vacancies in the places below, search through www.wotif.com for other hotels in Brisbane at discounted rates. Contact ISS if you have any problems
