Don't expect much from this place. I stayed in an Executive King room. As a bed and a bathroom it…read moreis fine but everything else is all about cost savings. From arrival the reception desk is often overworked and even though not much might be going on the manager seems busy with calls and guest requests. Whilst in room internet is free for 3h a day, slow as molasses. They have no hesitation in offering you more 3h vouchers but the wifi is useless anyway. The rooms are nothing like the website. More like a pub from the 90s with that sticky beer feeling everywhere on the timber and laminate furniture. The carpet hasn't been cleaned in forever and is more like my catscratch post than anything luxurious. Don't expect any peace or privacy because the gap under the door means all corridor noise leaks in (and out). The bathroom has been done up but the use of water saving shower head means that I feel like I'm at a public pool. Soap is poor quality and can't get a full spray of water to wash it off anyway. Water also regularly leaks all over the bathroom floor from the shower. As if that wasn't enough the cleaners are so under the pump that the only thing they do is change the sheets and replace some towels. Don't expect your glasses to be washed or changed, or anything more than a basic vacuum of the floor. And unlike other hotels don't put your used towels in the shower. They won't go in there to retrieve them. Would I stay here again? No way. This is the second TFE hotel that I have stayed at and both have been just as bad. I'm staying away from this chain in the future.

PROS The strengths of this hotel are its location and value…read morepricing. It's an easy walk to shopping, eateries, the bridge to South Bank, bus stops, and the casino. Our room was comfy. CONS The "cleaned" drinking glass contained remnants of my drink from the previous day. The free wifi is painfully slow and is good for only 3 contiguous hours a day, although it reportedly should last for 24 hours. Access can be renewed only once every 24 hours, so you can have free slow wifi for 3 out of 24 hours daily. The upgraded wifi access option requires a different access code daily for each of your devices (phone laptop, etc.). We explained that the free wifi didn't last for 24 hours as reported, so we received the access code without the daily $10 charge by repeatedly calling the front desk until someone answered the phone.

'Ello chaps! Meriton…read moreSuites is Australia's largest apartment developer. Most of their buildings offer spacious suites and sweeping views of the city they're in. Meriton Suites on Herschel Street great location as it is just a short walk from Queen Street Mall and across the bridge from the 7News Ferris Wheel, Streets Beach, and other attractions. If you're coming from the airport, you'll want to take the Air Train from Brisbane Airport (about a 20 minute ride) and get off at the Roma Street exit. From there it's a very short (less than 10 minute) walk from the train platform to the hotel lobby. Even with luggage is a quick and simple walk. Infinity Tower as its called is also the tallest building in Brisbane, giving sweeping views of the city. The extra few dollars for the top floor is well worth it. There's nothing like a suite on Floor 70. For early check in, staff is very accommodating, providing a space to change clothes and to leave your bags if your room isn't ready. TIP: If you're an American tourist you love your ice, well no worries because they have an ice machine on property. All you have to do is ask for a few bags of ice. The rooms themselves are fantastic, offering spacious living room and kitchenette space as well as spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The staff is very friendly and the stewards do a great job at cleaning the rooms. Overall I give Meriton five stars out of five.

You really couldn't ask for more from the look of the hotel, it's slick and urban but still has a warm homely feel. Unfortunately noise really is an issue. Chur Burger on the ground floor plays very loud music, and has an alfresco area that is below one side of the hotel, this is also the entrance area to the lift to the rooftop bar. Maybe I'm just getting old, or perhaps I should have realised this hotel is obviously a party style hotel and was best not to book here on weekends if I wasn't partying... My room was on the second floor and it was noisy, mostly with people talking in the alfresco area of Chur below. The lovely staff moved me to a quieter room on the fifth floor. One of the friendly staff members told me that they were currently looking in to how to make the rooms quieter. I suggest that when you book make a request to be in a quiet room if you're staying there on the weekend.

Sweet graphic art and edgy design in the bedroom and bathroom. One of the rooms with the hot tub has a larger balcony with more view - great if your having a couple of friends over. The other hot tub room has a more secluded balcony if you want a little more privacy. Nice bed, spacious shower, sweet toiletries and better entertainment system than The Emporium. But the towels aren't as nice as Emporium or even the ones on my house. Soft bed sheets though. I ordered room service from Chur. Amazing lamb burger - a must try. Check out Tryp, it really is worth a nights stay.

Unfortunately it did not meet the expectations of how it looked/felt. First and very frustrating is their Wi-Fi. You have to pay for the Wi-Fi and once you are on it, it is extremely, extremely slow! I'm talking late 90s early 2000s dial up speed. It goes in and out constantly and when I asked if they had other alternatives for Internet they said "sometimes if the weather is bad it's not very good" huh?? What!? I come here for work and I literally have to go across the street to the Starbucks to work and come back to my hotel because I can't even load emails, send emails, receive text messages, and makes it impossible to work. A lot of things are broken/does not function in the hotel 1. Elevator button broken and gets stuck 2. Toilet when you flush keeps running water and you need to jiggle the button until it stops flowing or it won't stop. 3. Internet slow and does not work (paying for it and its free at Starbucks and works 100x better) 4. Pool/spa heater broken and cannot use the pool For the price of those hotel there is many, many places in Brisbane that is better, functionally, and a mor enjoyable stay.

They are, quite literally, a stone's throw from the Queen Street Mall and walking distance to everywhere you could want to go in the city. Though the prices reflected this, at around $350 a night for 4 people, we had a huge suite and the location was fantastic. We had a two bedroom suite which had two king beds plus a fold out sofa, with a proper kitchen and two bathrooms. The rooms and living areas were enormous and everything was modern and squeaky clean. The balcony overlooked Albert Street and looking out, one could see right up into the mall. The rooms were plain and spartan but modern and sophisticated. The concierge was surprisingly friendly towards a group of young, obviously out for a good time, people and we ended up having a fantastic weekend.

Thank god we only had a one-night stay here before jetting off to New Zealand. The room that we…read morebooked (corner king-size room) had an amazing view of the river. However, the room was not very well designed nor functional. There is barely any storage space, and the bathroom sink was tiny. To make things worse, the WiFi kept getting disconnected, so we weren't able to get on Zoom calls while working remotely. The coffee mug was dirty (see picture), and there weren't any lotions in the bathroom. Despite being on the 15th floor, I was hearing music playing from outside the hotel at 11 p.m. Lastly, the service was just okay. We weren't given information about our welcome drink as an Accord member until we had to speak to the front desk twice about it (you have to go down to the hotel restaurant and redeem your coupon from a list of options). The only thing we enjoyed was the location - it was close to restaurants, bus stops, and ferry terminals. But as far as comfort goes, I will look for another hotel if I ever return to Brisbane again.

The parking is a little tricky so do tell the staff that you're parking a car. They're more than happy to help you out! Overall, this was a great place but do be aware that this is more like an apartment complex.

Great place for an extended stay when you don't want to unnecessarily burn cash by eating out 3 meals a day (Brisbane is a very expensive place... even more than Hawaii). If you keep in mind that it's an apartment hotel and not a swanky resort, this place will happily fit the bill. There's a 7-11 on the first floor and free pool/gym. My only complaint is the free in room WIFI is S-L-O-W slow. The fastest D/L was .37 Mbps and fastest U/L was .16 Mbps. Just enough to check email and some very light surfing. The good news is that you can take a 2 min walk to Queen Street mall and get some free WIFI there if you need something faster. I'm coming back!

They also offer 3-person accommodation, which is unusual and fantastic for myself, my mum and my sister (particularly for me, as I'm usually delegated to the sofa bed in this scenario!). The bathroom is also great, with a nice big shower, and our balcony was another bonus. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, dishwasher, hob (stove) and the other basics you might expect (although no oven) - perfect for some light cooking, and I suspect this would make a great corporate apartment. The apartment is generally clean although a little dusty in some corners. Wifi costs extra and our 24hr pass ran out after approx. 18hrs, and the "servicing" is fairly basic (e.g. beds were made but towels not properly hung). Overall, the Punthill is a great option if you're looking for extremely comfortable and relaxed accommodation where you can be self-sufficient. I would definitely look at staying here again if I'm back in Brisbane.
