This hotel is excellent value for money we stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment for 7 nights costing $450. The facilities are great with secure parking in the basement. The pool was clean and the Gymnasium well equiped. Rooms were large but the kitchen could be improved, I would suggest a toaster, small oven and hotplate and a full size fridge. Otherwise graet value.

Stayed at the Australis Sovereign Hotel in January 2012. Had a twin room without balcony and for the price it was good value. The furniture was a little dated but everything was clean and in good condition. We booked directly with the hotel and got a great rate of $109.00 per night which included a full breakfast. We enjoyed the swimming pool which was hardly used by other guests during our stay. The food at the restaurant was delicious and well priced. Staff at the hotel and restaurant were friendly and we would definitely return.

I paid AU$282.95 for one night in interconnecting rooms 706-707.

The rooms were large and had a nice view. The carpet had an assortment of small and large badly repaired holes, together with burn marks from careless placed hot irons.

The curtains have also seen better times. Noise from the street is inaudible with the windows closed and the air conditioner is old but efficient.

In spite of requesting a non-smoking room, the room smelled of many, many cigarettes smoked over a lot of years.

The doors had lots of chips in the paint. The chairs were covered in thread bare fabric. All very sad looking and depressing.

Breakfast was adequate if you don’t expect much variety.

The check-in girl was, as somebody said in another review, ‘off with the fairies’. I wonder what sort of pills they are on.

The location is very pleasant, but not right in the middle of Surfers Paradise. Public transport is close and buses run very often.

If this were a budget price hotel, many of its shortcomings could be forgiven. But it is not; it is aimed at a market where people don’t live in decaying houses.

All in all, spend the same money at a much better place on the Coast. You don’t need to search long to find one.

I was booked to stay at this dicgraceful place from 20th- 22nd January 2011. The room had 2 burn marks in the carpet caused by an iron been placed on the floor, A large hole in the carpet caused by ripping that was under the end of the bed, holes in the bedroom wall and also a large hole in the door between the bedroom and lounge area and also the bath/ shower was cracked and did not drain properly. When I complained to the staff on duty I was told "what do you expect us to do about it??". I said i can stay at many other places for the same price or less per night and not have a single problem like this at all. the reply form the staff member was " Its australia this is what you get!", the duty manager on saturday morning offered after a while to attempt to change room for me after intiially telling me the whole place was booked out. when I asked if this room now offered would be any different and of a proper standard the reply was I have no idea but i would suspect it is exactly the same condition. The room i was in was 103. I let the place on Saturday morning and am still waiting for my money to be refunded which i was promised would be done. I moved to the Sheraton mirage resort and Spa which I am happy to say took care of my every request and had a room ready for my friend and i within half an hour of calling them
