Meridian Hotel

A very comfortable overnight stay in a very well maintained room and complex. Thank you.

I like there is restaurant in the hotel and many restaurants and the grocery stores around here, but there is a little bit noisy outside

My stay was good, but i did report a broken shower, as in the hands-free bracket was broken. I reported it on Friday midday and still not fixed by the time i left on Tuesday morning. I put electrical tape on it to hold the shower head. There was no communication at all after the time i told the staff about the problem.

Handy to train & bus services but the room wasn't very clean & it wasn't serviced during the time (two nights) I stayed there. I didn't require clean towels or linen but it would have been good to have the bins emptied at least, if not the bed made.

The early check-in was very nice however the room wasn't very clean (visible mold and dust). The room was also pretty noisy with an almost permanent static noise. The window has no real blinds and you couldn't really open it or anything. Other than the room was fairly big and comfortable.

This was my second time- my first time was quite good. However this time, the smoke from downstairs/outside came in my room though l closed the windows I could still smell. Secondly the bathroom had a sewerage smell. Most likely from the from drain pipes but perhaps the ventilator? Got pretty horrible. Sadly these 2 things made my stay not great this time around. The bed and bed sheets were very clean and comfy though. Wifi some reason wasn’t so strong on some area in room.

Dirty mold dirty bedding

Mould on bathroom ceiling and staff stating they didn’t know.

Good bits - fairly recently renovated room with a few minor maintenance issues (scuffs on walls, window wouldnt close), very spacious clean bathroom with the usual basic toiletries. Excellent access to Westfield and the train station. Coming in from the airport was very easy. Separate secure access from the pub so, apart from check-in, no need to go inside the hotel. Bad bits - no housekeeping so the bin isnt emptied, toilet paper restocked etc. No clock or phone. In-room safe not functional. Very noisy air-conditioner. VERY noisy. I had a back room and I could hear the bottle bins being emptied and the poker machines. Window open means a lot of noise from the pub and also the multi-level carpark from a street back, window (almost) closed means stuffy - almost closed because it wouldnt close/lock. Airconditioning on circulates air but its very noisy. Going by reviews on booking.com its noisy whether you're at the front or the back of the hotel. Overall its adequate for its price point but I wouldnt stay again due to the noise and the lack of usual hotel facilities.

the king bed was two smaller mattresses of different heights placed together... it made it impossible to sleep across the centre of the bed. management wouldnt acknowledge this.
