Find the Cheap Herston Hotels

My husband and I recently stayed at the Herston Place Motel . We found the manager Chris to be completely professional ,friendly and accomodating. Nothing was too much hassle. He was very courteous and had a great and wicked sense of humour. He was well dressed and very likeable. A great character indeed. He treated us like long lost friends. The room was very clean and had everything that you could possibly need. We will most definitely stay there again on our next trip. Big thumbs up. Lyn and John.

LOCATION Very close to the Brisbane Royal & Women’s Hospital. ROOM The hotel has a number of apartment blocks. The corridors are dark and quite depressing, but inside the rooms are a different story. Our apartment had a comfy living room, two double bedrooms and a kitchen, with a kettle, microwave, fridge freezer, a washer / drier, and an iron and ironing board. It also had a balcony, not that we found the time to sit out there! FACILITIES We never used any of the other facilities. STAFF The reception staff were helpful. OTHER Can I suggest that Oaks reconsider the message card placed in the room that asks that when you leave, you dispose of your rubbish down the garbage shute near the lifts, as our block had no such facility. We ended up handing it to reception! I also have to comment that this was the only place we stayed where the cleanliness was questionable. The kitchen surfaces and drawers were sticky, and the carpets didn't look like they'd been properly hoovered.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My friend booked this accomodation for me and booked it through ***********; two months before our booking we extended two days so I could arrive to the trip earlier. (On *********** it says check in is from 2pm-12am) When I arrived at 9:30pm I was greeted by a giant door which was locked and it was POURING down with rain. I’ve was left in the rain for just over an hour trying to call the hotel as their intercom system has stopped working due to the rain. Once I finally got through they had lost my booking and took 2 hours to finally let me into a room after a constant back and forth with an incompetent after hours phone service assistant who kept putting me on hold (the manager spent 20 mins blaming me saying it was my fault they didn’t have my booking and that I should’ve called prior, never once in my life have I had to call a hotel prior to check in). The staff had absolutely no empathy for my health or safety being a young woman in a foreign city alone standing stranded in the rain. They stuffed me into whatever room they could for the night and told me they’d ‘sort it in the morning’. Next morning I was greeted by the manager (who had a bit of an attitude) telling me he just ‘missed the email’ about us extending our stay… Pretty useless excuse. Day 1 I was in a tiny closet sized room and the cleaning lady knocked on my door and asked if I needed cleaning to which I said no, she then came back 20 minutes later and barged into my room without even knocking!!! Talk about invasion of privacy!! The second room we were put in smelt like piss, was falling apart (the carpet was peeling off the floors) and was riddled with roaches and other bugs. Not to mention the powerpoint was faulty and I struggled to charge my phone… Then went to have a shower and had a door swung into my face by another cleaning lady who seemed to be mad that I needed to use the ammenities she had finished cleaning. I completely understand that a budget hotel means lesser quality but we booked this place purely for location as it was close to a concert that we were there for. There are places much much nicer in Brisbane/Fortitude Valley for the same price range, such as ‘BUNK Brisbane’ which is a lovely place btw. After this traumatic experience was hoping for my booking to be comped or discounted or even the slightest bit of sympathy from management but nope! Surprised after reading the other google reviews that this place hasn’t gone out of business or been shut down by the health department.

Great hotel close to the Valley but also far enough to be away from the noise, great cafes close by. Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Bed was amazing, I have a bad back and slept so well. All staff helpful and efficient. We will stay again

The hotel is just about okay. I feel like they are trying to hard to be a good hotel but are falling really short. It’s easy to get to the airport from here but after staying in numerous hotels in Australia over the past couple of weeks, this one is definitely at the bottom of my list.

Our sleepover stay was a very pleasant experience from the time we checked in until we checked out. The service was very helpful and thorough and our apartment was more than we hoped for. It was a hot day and the staff were very thoughtful to put the air-conditioning on before we arrived. As we had just travelled for 30 hrs the room was on the quiet side and very comfortable so we really appreciated this gesture. There are many cafes and restaurants in walking distance, also an IGA for any groceries needs as the apartment has a full kitchen and appliances. We will definitely stay there again when visiting and hopefully make more use of the enormous rooftop BBQ and entertainment area. With Gratitude 🙏

Place is extremely nice and has everything I need. Pros - Super clean. - Soundproofing is good. - Room Aircon doesn't get overwelmed. - Shower is to die for. - Staff are super helpful (we got lost trying to find our room). Cons - It is pricey but nothing crazy for the area. - 3 buildings and we got lost (if you can call it a con). - All the extra's you get for staying require you staying more than a day to use so much offered. - Leaving after dark on a weekend might be hell because its the valley. - If you are younger Egirls will try your dm's to get to come swim in the many pools. - Parking is a nightmare.

Friendly staff, not far from transport, but not much food around the place

The hotel is quite new. Supposed to book a female dorm but mistakenly selected a mixed dorm. However, the experience is not bad. Facilities are new. I like the locker which is large enough for a 23kg-size luggage and accessible by the room key. Love the kitchen and rooftop areas. Hand wash and bath gel are provided in the bathroom. Location is near to Fortitude Valley station. 24/7 front desk makes it more convenient for late flight passengers like me. However, it's quite warm inside the pod.
