I’m a business traveler staying 1-4 nights in Brisbane every fortnight. Working for a small start up company, I take the www.wotif.com.au Brisbane CBD mystery hotel when available. Tonight it’s the Mercure Brisbane. Great location. Check in excellent, very good service. I was late’ish (19:30) and scored an unexpected upgrade to a “River View” room – its more freeway than... more

I stayed end of Aug/start of Sep '09 as i was attending conference nearby. I contacted the hotel prior to my stay to request to swap my final night with an extra day at the start, as i was arriving early in the morning and wanted to get straight into my room. This was done efficiently with no problems. The... more

We stopped over in Brisbane on our way back from Cairns and had booked a room with 2 double beds to accommodate our family of four. However, we were alarmed to find our room only had bedding for 3 (a double and a single). A quick phone call to reception saw the concierge arrive promptly with keys to a new... more

We stayed as a family during a layover some years ago and it was disgraceful. The people next door were having a party and the walls were so thin. We had to call down to reception 3 times and by 3:30am asked to be moved (or the people partying next door), so when a work conference was booked there I... more

The staff make up for any shortcomings this place may have. In general, they're friendly and helpful. When we got to our room, the smell instantly told us it was a smoking room. Being non-smokers we asked to be moved to a non-smoking room and the staff quickly saw to it that we were. The rooms seem to have been... more

Check in was smooth and effortless, we got a room with city views which was gorgeous at night! but i have got to say. Best beds ever!!! I just didnt want to get out of bed in the morning! best sleep I had in... more

This was just a one night stay between train journeys - I was planning on staying at something just a couple of steps up from the pavement, but wotif was advertising a CBD 3 1/2 star "wot hotel" for less than most of the backpacker places around Roma St station, so I took a punt and scored this one, which... more

Average to worn room, but great restaurant and worth getting the river view room for the view. One night free room redemption in an ordinary room at the Mercure Brisbane. They upgraded us to a river view room which looks across freeway ramps and the river to south bank. A first for an advantage plus free night, you usually get... more

We loved this hotel. For our 1st stop as travellers to Australia it was perfect. Its basic but clean and comfortable. Very well located if you dont mind a short walk to the centre along the coast. The staff at this hotel were extremely helpful in finding us the best tours at the best prices (recommed Reef Magic.) more
