Mantra on View Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked in for one night, staff were amazing , place was good, but maybe a little dusty because my son’s allergies fleared up really bad. His eye was blood shot red and itchy But also the next morning we woke up to dripping and I thought my son didn’t turn the shower off. But it was the place above us dripping water into the bath. Which I found gross. And I still had to have a shower and wash my hair 😭 , when I told them they did say they would move our room. But we were checking out that day anyway. But I would probably stay here again."

Meriton Suites Broadbeach, Gold Coast

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is presented nicely and in a very convenient location. The major problem was the rooms are very noisy and have entry foyers for say an A and B suite. This meant that you heard doors banging closed all night. If you are a light sleeper this is not the hotel for you. Worst sleep experience but a great reception experience."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast

2/10 Terrible

"I had no issue with the property as we didn't stay there. We tried to book the property via the Hotel website for a date in June but there was no availability. However, the web site said that rooms were available via Expedia. I clicked on the link assuming that the dates we had already selected would carry accross. We booked a room in the Hotel through Expedia. We received a confirmation email and noted that the date booked was that day not the June date. We tried to call the number shown on the Expedia email and the recording said that the number didn't exist. We then called the Hotel and cancelled the booking for that night and they said they would contact Expedia. We received an email advising that the reservation falls within the cancellation penalty window. We were assured that our concern had been forwarded, and they would assist us in ensuring the cancellation is processed that same day. We have not heard anything since and despite cancelling immediately we paid the full fare for the room."

The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The only thing impinging on our stay was the car park. We had great difficulty finding the way out. There were very few signs (2 that I saw), and these small and faded. We drove round and round for 10 minutes, up and down the levels, without finding the exit, and getting increasingly frustrated. At last we managed to follow another visitor out. Please invest in some more, larger, and brightly lit signs. Apart from that issue as we left the hotel, everything else was great. Staff at the entrance and check in were wonderful - pleasant, helpful and efficient. Nothing was a problem."

Nightelier Mermaid Waters

8/10 Good

"The room was fine, there were a few little things that I noticed that could’ve done with a proper clean. The bed was awful. We stayed three nights and by the third both of us were nearly crippled. The breakfast buffet was a tad disappointing, though the staff there were fantastic. There was issues with hot water and we ended up with barely warm water for the last night and morning showers. Reception staff were super friendly upon check in and out. Location is good too, tucked away like it is. It’s quiet and we didn’t hear road noise. Food was really great!"
