Mercure Hotels in Brisbane

Wir haben eine Woche geblieben, aber das Frühstück ist jeden Tag gleich. Ich will etwas Neues. Ich freue mich auf neue Veränderungen für meinen nächsten Aufenthalt in den nächsten Tagen von Auckland.

This was our third visit here and so far the best (although each visit has been excellent) We were allocated a lovely room with a great view. Clean and comfortable bedroom. Plenty of toiletry provisions and towels. Good choices for the included buffet breakfast. We chose the snapper for dinner followed by the cheesecake for dessert. Both were delicious. All the staff, without exception, continue to be so friendly and helpful. Particular thanks to Russell (maintenance) for his help on arrival and to Sarah in the restaurant. Also the lovely lady who serviced our room. A big thank you to each and every one of the staff. Unfortunately on our last night the whole area experienced a power outage around dinner time but the staff were amazing and did everything they could to ensure the dining room functioned as normal as possible under the circumstances. We can’t wait for our next visit, which hopefully will be soon. Thoroughly recommend this place for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

We stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise that was leaving from the International Cruise Terminal. The main reason we chose this hotel was its close proximity to Roma Street Station as we caught the train from the airport. While it is close to the train station it is located at the top of a reasonable hill and it took a bit of effort to navigate the way to the top, apart from the effort. Several escalators/lifts and then a steep path with no real directions on which way to go. I thought I would be able to see the hotel to give me an idea which way but had to resort to Google Maps to find the way. Unfortunately we were on an early flight into Brisbane so as it was 09:30AM I was not expecting our room to be ready but just needed to store our bags so we good do some exploring. As expected, our room was not ready but the guy behind the counter checked me in, stored our bags and advised that the hotel was busy and our room would not be ready until about 02:00PM. No worries we will be back. We arrived back at 01:00PM and our room was still not ready and waited in the foyer till 02:00PM as previously discussed. Reception gave me our keys and we proceeded to our room on Level 1, or so I thought……..room card would not let me use the lift. Back to reception to have the card re-coded. On entry to our room, it was reasonably spacious and looked clean and reasonably comfortable. Décor a bit dated, but functional. We had a rather large balcony but we could not use it as there was no furniture so the balcony was wasted. Bathroom was small but functional, bit dated but appeared clean. It was only after we used the toilet several times that we noticed water on the floor. We ignored it for quite a while as we thought we had spilt water on the floor but it was not till the next morning that I realised it was coming from under the toilet. I reported it to reception on checkout. As we were tired from our early start we chose to order room service. While we knew how much it was going to cost it was very expensive. Two hamburgers and chips over $70. A bit steep, but as we were so tired we paid so we did not have to go out. The hamburgers were good by the way, but still way too expensive. Overall, this hotel was OK, but the room was supposed to be a superior room. OK. I would hate to be in a Standard Room………..as the room was pretty average for a Superior. After reading some of the other reviews the price we paid was fair and the location is good, just not when you have to push two big suitcases that we were taking on a cruise up the hill from the station. PS. It cost us $73 in the taxi to get to the Cruise Terminal.

The hotel has the potential to be good but for me, it missed the mark. I can overlook the decor as I feel this can be a personal thing. The room itself is satisfactory - the bed was a king, shower pressure was excellent, had a small fridge and ironing board. The airconditioner is good (but noisy) and there is a lot of light that comes in from the main corridor at night (tip: put a towel against the door to block the lightl). I requested a quiet room and one away from the elevator. Unfortunately I got a room next to the elevator and the room directly opposite me had music playing which I could hear from my room. Most rooms seem to look out on to the carpark/entrance. During the middle of the night (1am/2am) people would sit out the front and have a cigarette but the conversation could be heard from the room. Overall, I found it to be very noisy and disruptive to sleep (which is very important to me).Very limited food options from the hotel but if you have Uber Eats, there are lots of food place near by. Would I stay here again - not at this stage.
