Top Brisbane Hotel Reviews

The Chermside Apartments

The Chermside Apartments

8/10 Good
"Good hotel, staff very helpful. Located across street from Westfield Mall, which was huge. Close to bus route that took you into town. The shower never got hot, it barely got lukewarm, and that took forever. There was a TV issue which was determined to be weather related. But, they addressed it quickly. As first time visitors, and as two single female seniors, I should have done better research. I probably would have picked something closer to the CBD and the Cat Ferry."
