Meriton Suites Herschel Street, Brisbane

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel during my visit to Brisbane! It’s undoubtedly one of the tallest and most striking buildings in downtown. I checked in around 1 PM, and the lovely lady who assisted me was not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. To my delight, she informed me that the marketing team had graciously upgraded my room to a stunning one-bedroom suite on the 66th floor, where the views were simply breathtaking. The hotel boasts an ideal location, just a stone's throw away from popular attractions, exquisite dining options, and convenient grocery stores. If you're in the mood for a quick bite, you'll find an abundance of delightful sushi and Vietnamese cuisine nearby. I was also pleasantly surprised by how fast the elevators were, especially considering I was staying so high up. While the gym was on the smaller side, it was well-equipped and provided everything I needed for a satisfying workout. Without a doubt, I would choose to stay here again on my next trip to Brisbane—it was truly a memorable experience!

We stayed for four nights in a lovely apartment on the 72 nd floor. A fantastic view facing the river. The apartment was spotlessly clean , well equipped and attractive. Great position opposite Roma Station and near the shops and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff. Thanks to Christina who checked us in and Paige who checked us out.Great to meet reception staff who enjoy their work.

The service is superb! They let me checked in early even though it wasn’t the checkin time. The room didn’t have the best view but it was really clean, and everything was equipped, even had a small bottle of detergent for laundry! It’s also close to the station so it’s very convenient to get around. Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay there and would definitely recommend it! :)

The views are great, and the front desk staff helpful, but there's nothing else to recommend! The rates are so high and you don't get much in return.||The location - geographically it's close to many of Brisbane's sights but the immediate area is unpleasant and full of construction. The area actually feels unsafe.||The quality of the furnishings and fittings inside is low and equipment in our unit was clearly not maintained or updated as needed. Everything felt "cheap". We had problems with the A/C, the TVs, and even the toilets.||The elevators take forever! There are simply not enough of them for such a tall building. And there are no floor indicators in the hallways so you don't know whether you'll be waiting 5 seconds or 5 minutes. Frustrating.||The indoor pool is tiny and unheated - not usable. Not sure why this tiny pool was even built.||This Meriton screams "investment property" above all else. From the outside it looks like a fun place to stay with views but once you are inside you realize you made a mistake. The staff do what they can and I could see them truly doing their best, but they are working with a property which has a lot of physical defects and things which don't seem like they will ever be addressed.

The suites were spacious, exceptionally comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The kitchen facilities were outstanding, allowing us to enjoy the convenience of preparing our own meals. The amenities, including the gym, spa, sauna, and pool, were beautifully maintained and enhanced our overall experience. The staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. Upon our arrival, they kindly informed us that our room was ready for check-in, which was a pleasant and welcome surprise. The Meriton on Herschel Street is conveniently located near reliable public transportation options, facilitating easy access to various destinations. The only aspect that was less satisfactory was the absence of daily room servicing. During our four night stay, fresh towels were only provided and were left on the table, and the bed was not made during our entire stay.

The cleanliness of the apartment was not up to my liking as I am a professional cleaner! There was mould in the bathroom in the shower also the kitchen bench was not wipe down properly and there was dust in the rooms! Overall great view and good location definitely child friendly and their facilities are amazing however if the cleanliness of the room would have been a little bit better I would have definitely been a lot more happy! I did order and pay for a luxury apartment however it was more of a standard apartment! I definitely would stay here again definitely needs to be clean this time though! Including the linen which had stains over them! The Riverview was amazing and the location was great! I will leave a 4-star review only because of the cleanliness! Thank you Meriton I definitely will be back!!!

I had an amazing experience at Meriton Suites on Herschel Street! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and professional. The suite was incredibly spacious, spotless, and offered breathtaking views of the Brisbane River and city skyline. The location couldn't be better - just a short walk to South Bank, Queen Street Mall, and Central Station. The room had everything I needed: a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, fast Wi-Fi, and a super comfortable bed. The pool, spa, and gym were also top-notch - perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city. This is hands-down one of the best places to stay in Brisbane. I'll definitely be back!

This was a great find. It's one of the tallest buildings in Brisbane so the views are very good. We had a view of the river and south bank, stunning. Staff and service were top notch. On the evening we checked in, the State of Origin rugby match was taking place ... there were two young ladies working the front desk that evening, June 18, they were beyond charming and helpful. I'm so sorry I can't remember their names, but they deserve praise and kudos. Go Maroons!!! Washer and dryer, although small, work great. Just request additional laundry detergent and they'll bring it right up, as all as anything else you might've forgotten to pack. The only drawback was the AC. It would not go below a certain temperature and would shut down. I'll be blunt, menopause and hot flashes are not fun, sleeping in what seems to be a sauna is not helpful. People should have the ability to regulate the temperature in their rooms as they please. We ended up opening, or propping open all windows in the room to help ventilate. Luckily it was cool outside and it helped. But please address this issue, I'm sure there are many others like my wife who need a cold room. Other than this, we had no issues. Location is great, the Roma Street train station is about a block away. This is where you can get on a train to Gold Coast. Queen street shopping mall just a 10 minute walk, same for South Bank.

'Ello chaps! Meriton Suites 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.

This is a superb place to stay and it is best defined by listing the negatives first. Here are the negatives; the room could use a frying pan or one more additional cooking pot, and a larger garbage can. There you have it. The positives are many and it starts with the staff. The front desk personnel at this hotel are marvelous. I am talking each and every one of them. We were lucky enough to be greeted by Adam which makes sense as it was "the beginning" (get it) of our trip. Adam is flat out one cool knowledgeable major dude! The check in was quick and painless and Adam even offered us the opportunity to save the credit card fee. After that we received a short concise information filled briefing on the areas of the city, ways to get around, the value of the local public transit card, restaurants, the man-made beach, the free ferry system and of course the drinking hole where we could get a Meritone discount. Adam has an endless sense of humor and was a veritable walking Australian Chamber of Commerce. I only regret not having the chance to have a pint with him. Thank you Adam, "you da man!" Let me also send a "shout out" to Jack. I can listen to Jack talk all day long. There is just something about the way he speaks to you that makes you just want to smile. We needed directions to Lone Pine and we received them along with facts about discount transit cards. Later when we needed to get to Hertz, Jack came to the rescue. When you are near the front desk ask Jack a question, just because. When we walked away I looked at "Baby" and we simultaneously said "what a cool guy." The hotel is easy to find by taking the TransLink train from the airport but do not get off at the Central Station like we did, go one train stop further to Roma Street Station and save a twenty minute walk. Buy your ticket on line and save. The hotel is literally across the street from Roma Street Station. The check in process was absolutely seamless. The lobby is clean and airy and the hotel is extremely secure. A swipe of your room key by the elevator bay allows you to access an assigned elevator. The elevators do not even have buttons, it is your room key that provides access. Speaking of elevators, there are many and they are spacious. We never had to wait more than two minutes. Our room was outstanding. We had a side view of the Brisbane River on the fourteenth floor. Spend the extra coin and get as high a floor as possible. The internet was excellent. The queen bed was firm, the closet space was just fine and the room had a desk area that you could partition off with sliding glass doors! We had a nice living room area with a large flat-screen and ample channels, plenty of power outlets, lights and a real clean carpet! The kitchen was fantastic. There is a full refrigerator and freezer, dishes, cutlery, wine glasses, Champaign flutes, knives, coffee and tea. You are provided a four burner stove, microwave, toaster, hot water dispenser and the hotel does not skimp on the tea, coffee and sugar! You also get a nice desk, dishwasher, iron, ironing board, washer, dryer and laundry detergent! The bathroom was nice. The towels were new and fluffy, the toiletries were plentiful and the shower was large enough for two. The location is fantastic. You are minutes away from the center of town and great shopping or one of the many bridges that will take you across the Brisbane River. This is a great place to stay and I will remember our Brisbane experience for a long time to come!

Great Stay We have stayed here many times. Close to the city. Apartment's beautifully furnished and clean. Great views. Staff friendly and helpful. Would return and recommend to everyone. Have tried, one, two and three room apartments, standard always excellent!

We stayed at the Meriton while in Brisbane for our honeymoon. There is really nothing I would change from our stay except maybe pay for a higher room and request a SW facing room. As it stood, our room was plenty high (above almost all the surrounding buildings) and we had a nice south facing room where we could see most of Brisbane. If you're looking for a luxury hotel with all the amenities, the Meriton serviced apartments probably aren't what you're looking for. We wanted a spacious, clean, centrally located, quiet room. Meriton was perfect for that. The rooms were spotless, we had a full kitchen, washer and dryer for laundry (which we definitely used), and parking was always a breeze. Yes, it costs a bit more but it was worth it. The pedestrian bridge to access the South Bank was a block away and we were a short walk from a mall area and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The main train / transit station was nearby too. Really an excellent location. Our room was near the recycling / trash shoot but we never really heard anything. Maybe an occasional voice but overall it was very quiet. The bathrooms were compartmentalized to have a toilet and sink in one room and a shower and sink in a separate room next to it. Really nice design that allows people to get ready while maintaining privacy when needed. One of the sinks was having issues with the drain falling shut. We called down to the front desk to report the issue and they had someone there to fix it within 10 minutes. We then realized that the batteries for the safe were running low so we let the repairman know. He didn't look annoyed that we were mentioning this after he had arrived. Instead he said he didn't have enough batteries of that size with him but would bring some by once he finished. We were on our way out at the time and the batteries were sitting on the kitchen counter when we returned. I highly recommend staying at Meriton if you want a more homey feel while on vacation. We loved having a bedroom separate from a large living room area. The laundry (free, in unit, and included soap) was extremely useful. We were able to cut down on the amount we packed as we knew we could do laundry before leaving Brisbane. 5 stars.

I stayed here on a business trip, and will stay here again when in Brisbane. It's very conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and nightlife entertainment. The hotel itself was nice, and the rooms are very spacious and clean. The rooms even have a washer and dryer in them in case you need to do laundry. The staff was also very friendly. I will be traveling throughout the country for the next year, and noticed that they have other locations in Gold Coast and Sydney. I will definitely stay at the others when passing through based on the experience that I had at this location.

Well appointed apartments in one of Brisbane's newest and tallest towers. I highly recommend the view from the 68th floor, especially if you don't have to pay for it yourself. Comfy beds, soft but not too soft. Thermostat air-conditioning; and windows to open for some fresh air.

Very new and clean hotel with an inside pool and gym. The rooms are spacious and have a nicely equipped kitchen. The staff are nice. No complaints - cheap as well.

Very clean new hotel and apartment with a pool and gym. Excellent service! Restaurant and shopping centers are very close just 5 to 10 minutes walk. Actually this is the tallest building in Brisbane city which is view amazing

I booked this hotel because I was moving to Brisbane yet hadn't yet found a permanent place to live. Subsequently, I stayed at the Meriton for over three weeks. In sum, my stay was disappointing. For one, I was put on the ninth floor, which has provided me with breathtaking views directly into my neighbors apartments. Second, the room was run-down, aesthetically unpleasing, and smelled bad. *(to be noted that my rate ranged from $120-250 nightly). Most importantly, the rates were unpredictable. When I initially booked online, I committed to a specified rate, yet once I moved in, they explained that the rate changed daily based on "demand". This explanation made no sense, because many of the most expensive nights that I paid for were simulated when the hotel was least occupied (bottom line: they reserve the right to charge whatever they want in order to maintain a high profit). On the nights that my rate surged above $200, I could have stayed at the Emporium and had a far nicer experience.
