Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
8.6 (567 reviews)

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise ★★★★★

📍 86 Esplanade, Surfers Paradise

"I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. I visited during the May Day holiday, and there was a Caucasian woman at the front desk who had a bad attitude; she was cold and dismissive when I asked questions. I got angry right there at the front desk. Once she saw I was upset, her attitude changed a bit. The only thing I can say is that the view from the hotel's common area is decent, but the in-room facilities are a bit dated. I've seen the view now, and next time I'll choose Langham. No need to put up with bad service."

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise ★★★★★
"The only thing this hotel has going for it is the view; otherwise, it's worse than an Ibis. The front desk staff were incredibly unprofessional. Even after showing my confirmation, they kept insisting on a receipt. I showed them my Bank of China debit record, but they acted like they couldn't understand it, pretending to make a call to confirm for ages before finally letting me go. When I got to the room, there wasn't a single bottle of water. I called down, and they said for four of us, they'd only give a maximum of four bottles. They also refused to empty the trash, saying they only clean every four days. To top it off, they even chased me down for an extra cleaning fee because we hadn't emptied our own trash. Seriously, ridiculous."

Bunk Surfers Paradise International Backpacker Hostel ★★
"Lovely hostel!!! The bunk bed was probably the best I have ever slept on during my Australian backpacking journey! All the public facilities are nice! The only little problem was the plumbing in the room not working properly (the water goes down really slow lol) But not a big deal, still highly recommended!!!"

"The view from the window was excellent, and it was convenient to have dinner on the hotel's ground floor. They also offer room service. However, the underground parking fee of 25 AUD per day was a bit pricey."
