Top Forest Lake Hotel Reviews

View Brisbane

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, AC worked wonderful, staff was nice, but didn’t let us check into the room early which was disappointing given that it said on Expedia since I’m a platinum member and they’re listed as a VIP hotel we would be allowed that wasn’t the case and they wanted to charge us. Not centrally located so not the most walkable into the city center."

The Chermside Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful checkin staff and service. This is my second stay here. On the first stay, I had accidentally left my laptop charger behind. I got in touch with them and they had it stored for me to collect on my next stay a well a later. Wonderful and helpful service. Very comfortable room on the sixth floor. Spacious and clean. Location is conveniently next to 24hr Maccas and Chermside mall. Just a quick walk from it all."

Great Southern Hotel Brisbane

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great and very convenient location. We used the CityCat to explore and this was located very close nearby. The hotel is undergoing renovations and this did not impact our stay. The breakfast (extra) was very good and suited our needs perfectly. The room was big, well maintained, good amenities and looked like it had just been renovated. The tiles in the bathroom and shower were slightly slippery but on the whole we would definitely recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay here again when we next come to Brisbane."

The Star Grand Brisbane

8/10 Good

"Overall I found the hotel was very good, but not exceptional, certainly not when considering the cost of the room. The staff were excellent. The room was very clean. There were a couple of things that affected my star rating. First, I was disappointed that there was no bath. I had been looking forward to a long soak. Secondly the whole complex was confusing to navigate. The car park is located across the road without clear directions how to access the check-in desk. The lifts limit the access to certain floors and I found myself walking around trying to find the correct lifts for my part of the hotel. I twice encountered people riding the lifts up and down trying to reach their desired floor."
