Family-friendly Hotels in Broadbeach

On our trip to Gold Coast we booked our accommodation with Meriton a studio apartment. Upon arrival and check in we got upgraded to a 1 bedroom apartment no charge, and couldn’t be happier , as their service was a friendly, fast, and professional. Our 1 bedroom apartment is amazing, featuring queen bed with t.v in room , spacious living area , kitchen, laundry and balcony with a beautiful view of the beach . The location convenience, being across the road from the casino and pacific fair , and Goya cafe downstairs for a close by breakfast before heading on your day of adventure. We’ll most definitely be checking in to Meriton in near future.

The hotel room is clean and housekeeping services are good. The only issue is that the car park is not free. Take note if you do plan to go to the ****** to play, always take a ticket when you enter the car park and when any of your travel mates have earned 5 tier points in the ****** with the star club card, go claim the free car park and you can save on paying for it. You can rent a car and go places like Yatala Pies and eat great pies.

The room is large in size and clean. The kitchen and laundry facilities are fully equipped. It is convenient to eat and buy nearby. There are no facial tissues and poor toiletries. The daily maintenance of the internal facilities is not good. There were false alarms during the day and night during the stay.

Difficult check-in, reception is open till certain time if you arrive latter they supposed to send you information for self check-in. Never did and I had to call them to get the information. This is an older, low-rise property with no lift or fancy extras. Room was big and clean; if you use the soap or toilet paper you have to buy more from reception.

1. The apartment is very large, the master bedroom faces the sea, with a big bed. The second bedroom is actually a study room, so there is no window. There is a bathroom separated from the master bedroom, and both sides can enter. 2. Sanitation is ok, the kitchenware is clean, the washing machine is still new, the dryer is a bit old but clean 3. Free parking. It is better to leave a comment when booking. When you arrive, stop at the door or on the side of the road. When you go in and check in, you will be given a sensor 4. Walk straight to the pacific fair and cross the bridge for 15 minutes. The restaurant will open in the evening and the store will close at about 5:30. There are Mobike bikes available for rent. 5. Going in the opposite direction to the pacific fair is the beach. There are not many people and there are lifeguards during working hours. If you go north there is a larger children’s play area. Is the location similar to Oasis? 6. Before leaving, remember to throw away all the trash. Recycle the trash can in the garage. Put all dirty tableware in the dishwasher. If it is too dirty, it seems that the hotel will charge a cleaning fee of $75 starting

The hotel was very good. The room had a small kitchen and it was great. I think the hotel service is good. Good transportation.

Another great stay at Ultra. Thank you Lindy and Jane. The staff are extremely friendly and offer great advice if required. Always a smile on your face Jane!! The apartment was very spacious, cleanliness was top notch and the kitchen was so well equipped. The pool was a huge hit with my granddaughter. Shops restaurants parks and beach all a short walking distance. Highly recommend for your next trip to Gold Coast. Flying in and you don't want to hire a car Catch the airport local bus outside the arrival gates and drops you right at South Broadbeach Station. 5 minute walk to Ultra front door. We will be back. Thank you.

After having a great holiday at the Talisman last year, we booked for six weeks of winter warmth and sunshine again. We asked for & received a NW or NE facing unit so that we had views and sunshine. All good, we had apartment 36 (NW), and the weather was wonderful. We had also booked a superior apartment again. This is where it started to come unravelled. We paid for a 'superior' apartment but it felt like a 'standard' apartment. When we arrived, there were new managers/owners of the business. I complained to them about our apartment and said that it didn't appear to be a 'superior' apartment (which cost extra $$ per week) - I was told that ”you should see the 'standard' apartments”. The manager said that if we were agreeable she would like to look through the unit at the issues I wa not happy about when she could get away from the office. Neither of us followed this through. The good bits - fairly freshly painted, lovely newish curtains, everything worked (except the vacuum cleaner). Pool and spa warm and great. The Talisman is just over the road from the beach and the Oasis shopping centre with a Woolworths and restaurants etc just five minutes’ walk away. The Talisman itself is the very best location in Broadbeach. The apartment itself: - The apartment just felt grubby. I asked that the loose couch covers be cleaned as I didn't want to sit on them. They were pretty worn as well - see photo post dry cleaning. - Bedding – sheets lovely ironed fresh white sheets changed every week. However, the cotton blankets and bedspreads all needed a wash. The towels were quite thin. The beach towels cost an extra $10 to hire. - All the beds had dust balls underneath them - The shower needed a good scrub (I cleaned it myself when we arrived) - One only available power point in the kitchen area. A double, but one side was already taken up with the WIFI. Our first purchase was a power board so we could use kettle / toaster / charge phones etc. - The stove/ cooktop was clean. The oven racks etc all covered with foil so nothing could be spilt. This meant that nothing cooked properly as no air circulated; so I removed the foil. The cooktop's temperature control was haywire so everything was inclined to either burn or not cook. - The microwave was in the kitchen cupboard - maybe a fire hazard?? - No rangehood or fan in the kitchen. – and a bamboo plate hanging over the hot plates as decoration – now surely that must be a fire hazard. - Personal security/privacy in our apartment – there is no deadlock of any kind and service people come and go as they wish – they knock - if no answer, they just come on in. Cleaners to change linen, the TV repair men, the window cleaners – they are all given the master key. I might add there is no safe in the apartment. Around the apartment: - Two lifts - one or the other was going to be out of service for 8 months from March 2023 which would take it to November 2023. However, before we left this was ex

We had a confirmed booking from Trip.com but when we arrived at reception they did not have our booking. It was not Trip’s fault as apparently an intermediate company bungled the booking. The Blues fest was on so everything was booked out for 100km2. Fortunately the very kind manager at the Phoenician miraculously found a 1 br apartment for us and saved the holiday. The hotel is lovely and very central. Cannot fault it but confirm your booking directly with the hotel

I stay here at least twice a year even though I live in Ashmore on the Gold Coast. Why? The view and location. I love the ocean view from the 2 or 3 bedroom units so I always book and stay there so I can thoroughly enjoy that amazing view. I also love the fact that I can walk across to the beach and go for a morning or afternoon beach walk (barefoot as it is literally straight across the road and onto the sand). I can also easily walk 6 mins into the restaurant and bar area of Broadbeach. The staff- Marion, Chris, Donna and team are always so friendly and fabulous too. I always stay here for Groundwater Country Music festival with a group of friends too. Fabulous fabulous spot :). I have added some photos but keep in mind I am not a professional photographer -these are just taken on my phone so probably dont do the view justice.
