Yes, it's very very very central. Staying here will enable you to go surfing, shopping and also get drunk, stumble back and open your hotel room door without any issues. What I didn't like was the dated looking hotel. Yes they have renovated rooms but the hotel lobby seems to be out of the 1980s. Would I come back? Probably... More

I stayed here 2 nights to visit friends I used to work with so it was a quick break away from work. I booked a standard King room through Hotel Club. I checked in on Sun morn at 11.00 and a room was ready, room 2008, overlooking the beach, an older unrenovated room, but spotless in presentation, it had a... More

I think My room is refurbished and spacious. But the other 2 rooms i booked were not. The email enquiries I sent were responded almost instantly. Which I think will certainly determine whether we will be considering coming back again. Hope to be back soon. Cheers More

This hotel is going through a renovation and the new parts are great. They have whole new foyer with concierge, lobby bar/cafe and plenty of couches to sit on. It is right in the middle of everything, connecting to the Centro, Hard Rock Cafe and Cavill Mall. The room on 35 floor was spacious with two TVs, a main and... More

Dear Lock_12 Thank you so much for this great review! I totally agree with you on your room tip. The price to upgrade to a new room is slight in comparison to the quality of the room you receive for it. I am glad you enjoyed the stay and found it to be quiet and peaceful. Our major works have...

Mate and I stayed for one night, we didn't pay extra for the upgrade so the dated decor was tolerable, but nothing at all stood out to make for a memorable stay and the reception staff were very blunt! The housekeepers missed some food in the fridge from the previous guest, but they came and collected this without fault.. More

From the moment we checked in our opinion of this place went down hill. The lady that checked us in was extremely rude and un helpful. The room was old and terribly out dated. Defiantly not a 4.5 star hotel as state, at best a 3 star. The beds are uncomfortable. We couldn't wait to check out the next morning. More

We booked the room for our Anniversary 5 months in advance. Long story short we got an old room that was worthy of 2stars not the new 4 &1/2 stars rooms. Even though they admitted it was their mistake we were still charged $50 per night to upgrade to a room we originally booked. We showed the manager our print... More

We've stayed here when it was the Courtyard Marriott and now the Grand Chancellor Hotel, and the standard has been about the same - one notch below the adjoining Hilton, and the much grander Marriott Resort Surfers Paradise, but then you're paying $100-200 less per night. Its great attribute is the location, smack bang in the middle of Cavill Mall,... More
