Readers choosing a base in Chermside usually weigh three things: how far a property sits from Westfield Chermside, what guests report, and what a night costs. This page sets out the properties named across the sources we reviewed and separates listing facts from review scores that disagree with each other. Expedia’s Westfield Chermside guide rates The Chermside Apartments 7.8 out of 10 from 1,004 reviews, one fewer than the property’s own Expedia listing shows.

How we researched this
Dating: Several listings show no publication date, so this page gives no single check date. The newest dated item in the sources is the 2026 build year of Adina Chermside Brisbane.
Sources reviewed: online travel agency property listings, aggregator hotel guides, a review platform (Tripadvisor), and rating and price pages from Trip.com, Wotif, Kayak, Skyscanner and Travelocity.
We did not visit any property, interview staff or guests, check live rates or availability, or confirm amenities such as pools against hotel websites.

The Chermside Apartments
The Chermside Apartments has 55 rooms on Expedia’s listing, which describes it as close to Westfield Chermside and St Vincent’s Private Hospital Northside. The same listing mentions free on-the-go breakfast, a terrace, a coffee shop and an on-site Italian restaurant, Bella Cosi. The property’s guest scores are split: Tripadvisor’s review page rates it 3.3 of 5 from 220 reviews, and one reviewer wrote:
Our bathroom had mould on the ceiling and smelled so bad we had to buy candles.
Adam F, Tripadvisor reviewer
Warning: The mould complaint is one review, dated May 2023. Other reviews on the same page mention a room that did not resemble the website images, so check the most recent guest comments before booking.
Adina Chermside Brisbane and new openings
Tripadvisor AU describes Adina Chermside Brisbane as a new-build contemporary apartment-style hotel with 148 studios, one-bedroom apartments and family interconnecting two-bedroom apartments. Travelocity lists it at 523 Hamilton Road, rated 4 out of 5 stars, with a gym and a bar/lounge.
Best for
- Westfield shoppers: Expedia lists Chermside Court Motel 0.7 km from Westfield Chermside, the shortest distance stated in the sources. The Chermside Apartments is described as close to Westfield Chermside.
- Stays needing laundry: Expedia lists dry cleaning and laundry services at Quest Chermside, and Tripadvisor AU lists a laundry service at Chermside Motor Inn. The sources do not confirm in-room kitchens at any property. Adina is described as apartment-style, and Quest as serviced apartments.
- Airport-bound travellers: None of the sources gives a distance from a Chermside hotel to Brisbane Airport, so check the route on a map before booking.
Location and getting there
Westfield Chermside is the reference point used across most listings. Expedia places Chermside Court Motel 0.7 km from it. Chermside Motor Inn sits on the north-bound side of Gympie Road between Rode and Hamilton Roads, and its Skyscanner address is 644 Gympie Rd, Chermside, Brisbane 4032.
The catch: Adina has the highest platform score in the set but only 27 reviews on Expedia, while Chermside Court Motel is the closest property to Westfield Chermside and carries a 3.4 out of 5 Tripadvisor rating.
Quick summary
The pattern across the set: the closest property to Westfield, Chermside Court Motel, has a 3.4 out of 5 Tripadvisor rating, just above The Chermside Apartments’ 3.3, and the newest property has the thinnest review record.
Chermside hotel prices
Price data in the sources is sparse, and it uses different periods and platforms, so this section gives price positions rather than a rate guide. Tripadvisor’s Chermside index lists hotels from $144, with an average of $169 in high season (June to August) and $154 in low season (December to February). The sources do not state the currency behind that $ symbol, so treat those figures as the page shows them.
How room format affects cost
Apartment-style units and motel rooms are different products. Trip.com AU lists The Chermside Apartments from AU$130 and includes breakfast in its listing. Wotif charges AUD 25 per adult for Adina’s to-go breakfast, so a bare room rate does not show the full cost of a morning meal.
Tip: Before comparing totals, check whether breakfast, parking and WiFi are included in each rate. The Chermside Apartments includes breakfast in its listing; Adina’s breakfast is a paid add-on.
Price band
- Lowest listed starting price: from $144 on Tripadvisor’s Chermside index.
- Apartment listing on Trip.com AU: from AU$130 for The Chermside Apartments.
- Seasonal averages on Tripadvisor: $169 in high season and $154 in low season.
- Adina Chermside Brisbane: no room rate appears in the sources; the verified figure is the AUD 25 breakfast add-on.
Booking timing and price movement
Tripadvisor’s index shows June to August as the high season and December to February as the low season, with a $15 gap between the two average prices. The sources do not show how much prices move for any single hotel between those windows, so the gap is an index-level average rather than a property-level one.
What this means: on these averages, the seasonal gap is modest, so room format and breakfast terms are likely to change the total more than the calendar.
Chermside hotel reviews
Scores for the same property differ by platform because each uses its own scale and review pool. Chermside Motor Inn is rated 8.8 out of 10 on Expedia from 138 reviews, 8.5 out of 10 on Kayak, 4.4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor AU from 525 reviews, and 4.2 out of 5 on Skyscanner from 692 reviews.
Note: Expedia’s own listing and its Westfield guide differ by one review for The Chermside Apartments (1,005 and 1,004). Larger gaps, such as Chermside Court Motel’s 8.0 out of 10 on Expedia against 3.4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, call for reading the review text rather than averaging the scores.
Reading reviews for newer openings
Adina Chermside Brisbane is rated 9.6 out of 10 on Wotif, and Expedia’s guide shows the same 9.6 from 27 reviews. A score built on so few reviews rests on a small sample, so read the newest comments before treating it as settled.
The rooms are always clean and modern and the management is extremely friendly.

Recurring review themes to look for
Cleanliness complaints appear at three properties, each in a single review or summary: mould at The Chermside Apartments, a sewage smell and cockroaches described at Chermside Motor Inn, and stained carpets at Quest Chermside. Noise is the other recurring issue. Kayak scores Chermside Motor Inn’s noise level at 2.5 out of 10, and a Court Motel reviewer wrote:
Very noisy, construction starts next door at 6am, staff inside motel are no better.
Leanne F, Tripadvisor reviewer

Quick summary
The implication: platform scores disagree enough that a single figure is a poor guide, and the reviews explain the gaps better than the averages do.
Does Quest Chermside have a pool?
The sources do not confirm a pool at Quest Chermside on Playfield. Among the Chermside listings reviewed, the only pool recorded is at Chermside Motor Inn, on its Tripadvisor AU listing.
Quest Chermside on Playfield at a glance
Tripadvisor’s Chermside index rates Quest Chermside on Playfield at 4.6 out of 5 from 1,119 reviews. Expedia’s separate Quest Chermside listing describes a luxury aparthotel near The Prince Charles Hospital, with free continental breakfast, a terrace, dry cleaning and laundry services, free in-room WiFi and a conference centre. It lists 54 rooms and a 9.0 out of 10 score from 463 reviews.
Note: Quest listings appear under several names and IDs across Expedia, Tripadvisor and Trip.com. A Tripadvisor page gives the street as Thomas Street for Quest Chermside (Thomas St), but the sources do not confirm that it is the same property as Quest Chermside on Playfield. Check the name, street and room count on the listing you book.
How to verify amenities before booking
Amenity claims differ between platforms. Trip.com’s review summary for Quest Chermside describes parking as ample, secure and free, and Expedia lists a fire extinguisher as a safety feature. Neither source mentions a pool. Check the property’s own website and the facilities list on the booking page before assuming one is there.
The trade-off: Quest has one of the strongest guest scores among the apartment-style options, at 9.0 out of 10 on Expedia, but the sources leave its pool unanswered, so a pool-dependent stay needs a direct check.
Is it cheaper to book directly on a hotel website?
The sources reviewed do not compare direct and platform prices for any Chermside property, so this article cannot say which route is cheaper. A fair comparison needs the same dates, room type and inclusions on both sides, and the sources contain no matched pairs.
Direct booking trade-offs
The clearest inclusion difference in the sources is breakfast. The Chermside Apartments lists complimentary breakfast from 7 AM to 9 AM daily on Trip.com AU, while Adina’s to-go breakfast costs AUD 25 per adult on Wotif. The sources do not show whether a hotel’s own website bundles or waives these items.
Comparing booking platforms
Ratings also differ by platform, and a higher score on one site does not show a lower price there. Compare the same dates and room type on the property’s site and on one booking platform, and confirm breakfast, parking and WiFi on each before comparing totals.
Our pick
- Shoppers who want Westfield Chermside within walking distance: Chermside Court Motel is the closest property stated in the sources at 0.7 km, but its Tripadvisor rating of 3.4 out of 5 is among the lowest in this set, just above The Chermside Apartments’ 3.3, so read its recent reviews first.
- Longer stays that need a kitchen and laundry: Quest Chermside, which Expedia lists with laundry and dry cleaning services and a 9.0 out of 10 score. Kitchen facilities are not confirmed in the sources, so check them on the property’s own site.
- Airport-bound travellers: None of the sources gives a distance from these properties to Brisbane Airport, so check the route on a map. If the stay is longer and you want the newest apartment-style units, Adina Chermside Brisbane is the option to compare, though its review sample is small.
