QT Gold Coast

We booked the QT for the pool and it was out of action. However, they went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. Buffet breakfast, room service, free parking and drinks on arrival. I have never heard of a hotel being so generous! We ended up having three pools to choose from and swam at the Sea World Resort. My nine year old boy loved it. The buffet breakfast was amazing with a lot of good quality food. The hotel is arty and the lobby area and restaurant is a great place to sit. The rooms are large, comfortable beds and well designed. Room service was the best I have ever had in a hotel and I have stayed in a lot of hotels. A good price, quick to come to the room and quality food. Everything about this hotel is quality and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The beach is walking distance, and everything is in close proximity. |Thank you for a wonderful stay. We didn't want to go home. The staff on front reception was also so friendly.

Wonderful Hotel. We stayed for 5 nights from 16th Oct. All staff we encountered were exceptional, welcoming, helpful, accomodating and friendly. They made our stay most enjoyable. Im a true believer, if you make the effort to interreact nicely with staff, you will get the best in return. No one disappointed. Our Ocean View King Room was great, very comfortable bed, spaceous large room. Buffet breakfasts, good range, with cook to order omelettes (just ask) and the best pastries each day. (hotel has its own pastry chefs) Yamagem Japanese was brillant, the set menu high quality, 5 star service as well. A must visit. Stingray bar, cool fun vibe, eat one night, perfectly cooked steak, calamari and crinkle cut fries. Faultless. Reasonable prices. The hotels 4 lifts made floor access very quick. Never needed to wait more than 9 seconds ( yes I timed them ! ) 200m from light rail, beach a stones though away. ( I recommend get the Airport express bus 777 outside airport door, goes direct to Broadbeach South, then walk straight onto light rail to Cypress Ave Stop) 50 cents all the way, tap on/off with a credit card, way better than Uber. No timetable needed, plenty of services. Overall, the hotel felt like home, and thats all one can ask, for an enjoyable memorable stay.

We love QT at Surfers Paradise. It's in a great location and the rooms are a great size. The king beds are so comfortable that we want to buy one ourselves. The breakfast is amongst the best buffets I've had. The food and service is always great. A lovely manager even gave us credit to make up for some renovations occurring and we didn't pay a thing for food and drinks for our 3 night stay! We will be back.

Literally have had the most beautiful weekend at the QT! Don’t worry about the pool being closed as the pool next door is lovely, plus you’re 2 minutes walk from the beach! We had a 2 night stay we did 1 night in a cabin 1 night in an ocean view room, The cabins are absolutely amazing they have thought of every detail for a stay to remember, the walk in, you pass the most magical little seating area with a fireplace in the middle to go to your very private cabin, it’s surrounded by greenery and the sounds of birds, with a little swinging egg chair and some extra table & chairs to relax on, the bed is so cosy and the window beside bed you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset, they supply T2 tea bags, and raw treats which include snicker flavour triangles bites, jammie dodger biscuits and salted I think sweet potato chips, which can be refilled on request which is included in your stay! We had a cheese board each night with drinks, so good and all the little touches are well thought out, at night we came home to some fresh herbal tea and a little chocolate such a sweet gesture! I’ll try post pics The hotel staff couldn’t do enough for you they are all very friendly and welcoming they had given us some jigsaw chocolate complimentary and I rang to request to buy some to bring home to our kids which they gave us complimentary too! Our ocean view room had the most beautiful view with a little day bed to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and beautiful pinks sky at night the rooms are very fresh and cosy all the bedding in each room was so comfortable and the bonus of having a Dyson hair dryer in the rooms plus good quality shampoo/conditioner/body wash. The balcony in our room was closed because of maintenance they are doing to the pool/hotel but didn’t make a difference to our stay as we could still enjoy the view from the comfort of our room I’m not sure this applies to all rooms as I did see some people out on their balcony when on a lower level. We used the gym while we where there, there is enough equipment to get a good work out in plus they provide towels and filtered water We booked in the yamagen japanese for the sushi making experience, it went for an hour and we got to make 4 large sushi rolls cut into four pieces it was actually so good! We got to eat the sushi and my husband had the whisky too he said it was great, The staff at the QT made this weekend so relaxing, they cannot do enough for you, this hotel has everything you need, we went to stingray to watch the lions game they have big screens and a good atmosphere, We didn’t get to try the spa but will be back again soon and will defs give it a go! The hotel is 5 minutes walk to surfers where you have lots of restaurants to choose from and plenty for the kids to do, location is very central but far enough away to be nice a quiet at night, the tram is a 3 minute walk. All in all had a great stay and will 100% be back with the kids the next time,

We had an enjoyable stay overall. Breakfast buffet pretty good. Staff were very friendly. We were very disappointed that the pool area was out of action the whole time (3 nights & still off limits) and were only told about this upon checking in. We did have use of the pool at the hotel over the road (see pic) which was lovely but not the same as relaxing on the premises here. We were woken early (6am) with building/construction works down near the hotel entrance (we were on floor 6). One of the main eateries was also closed for refurbishment. Balconies off limits too. We’re thankful for free breakfast buffet for our stay plus $100 room credit to compensate. But honestly if we knew about all this earlier we would have booked elsewhere. Room was great and beds super comfortable. Housekeeping was hit & miss. I imagine it would be a lovely place to stay after all the refurbishment/construction has finished.

Very pleasant communication in the lead-up to our stay. Check-in was handled by a friendly staff member, though unfortunately, one of our rooms wasn’t ready at the 2pm check-in time. As an apology, we were offered complimentary parking and drink vouchers, which was a thoughtful gesture. The room became available around 5pm. Rooms were spotless and beautifully presented — modern, with stylish finishes and thoughtful touches throughout. Room service was absolutely delicious. While on the pricier side, the generous portions and high quality made it feel worthwhile. It’s also great to see they offer dog-friendly rooms. However, it’s worth noting that while dogs are welcome in the room, they’re not allowed in shared areas like the restaurant or pool. (Also, we weren’t sure if the dog treats on the table were complimentary.) A big thank you for the lovely birthday surprise left in our room — it made our stay feel extra special! We’ll definitely be returning!

QT is recently remodeled and they did a fantastic job. The rooms were fantastic and we really enjoyed the time spent in the room. Materials, bedding was exceptionally nice, and of course the view was great as well. Location is excellent also. I highly recommend a visit to QT.

We came here for a relaxing holiday. Unfortunately, the pool is out of action however the staff are very lovely and accommodating. In general the room was very lush and the hotel is really nice. The alternative pool facilities were excellent. I would avoid room service as it was very expensive and not very good. We ordered roast chicken but it came deep-fried. The staff here are excellent and dealt with all the difficulties incredibly well. The breakfast buffet was good but not as good as when it is in its permanent location.

We had our buffets with Bazaar restaurant during our stay in Gold Coast. The food were not that amazing as it supposed to be, medium Angus was over cooked, pizza was a little bit burned lol dessert section covered a great variety, but then again, not so much tasty. Overall, don't think it deserve such price.

What can I say growing up in the seventies and eighties and visiting the Gold Coast as kid - QT pulls off a retro chic of an era that never quite was... It is fun and sophisticated all roiled into one, yet the do it in a way that is never cringeworthy or lampooning. I think the young staff who always seem to be moving really do this place justice! The rooms are well appoint and quite spacious the designer furniture despite some appearances is not just for show it is genuinely comfortable and sure as the decor might not suit all tastes however it rare feels over the top. Even the restaurant and bar give a slight twist on the old classics; and server too quality food even when busy - including when serving up meals in the ballroom for our work closing night summit dinner. Well done team! and next time I am in town expect to see me checked in here!

It may surprise you that as a born and bred Queenslander, Surfers Paradise and I have never really been a huge part of each others lives. But towards the end of last year, with Foo Fighters tickets in our hands, we needed somewhere to stay overnight after their concert at Metricon Stadium (Dave Grohl, right? right?). The QT Hotel, touted as "nostalgic surfer chic meets Miami catwalk cool" was the perfect place to rest our heads and was the classiest nod to Surfers Paradise I had seen in a while. You'd be forgiven for waiting for Don Johnson circa Miami Vice to walk through the doors. As you walk into the foyer you're greeted with a modern and design friendly interior and if you're like me looking at all the detail you'll be distracted by the elegant green high back lounges or cafe table with filled candy jars atop. The staff greeted us with a friendly welcome and we were shown to our room. There's just enough quirk and kitsch (think ceramic cockatoo bedside lamps) to make the rooms cool without trying too hard and the "stir your own" homemade lemonade on arrive was the sweetest detail. The thing that makes the QT Hotel experience something to write home about it the details, they've made every effort to make the details the highlight of your stay. While we didn't eat on site there's three restaurants and one cafe where you can indulge in teppenyaki, a drink from one of 50 in-house tequilas or international cuisines at the Bazaar. Surfers Paradise itself may still have a lot of work to do to change my perception, but QT I wouldn't think twice about staying at your Gold Coast or Port Douglas hotels.

We stayed at QT for our honeymoon right around the time they had just finished all their renovations. I am not a Queenslander so I am not aware of the rich history QT apparently has, but I sure did appreciate the tiki style Hawaiian inspired contemporary decor they have chosen to deck the place out in. The lobby and communal areas have that feel that any moment a Pin-Up girl is going to accost you with a ukulele and demand you hula with her, which is wonderfully charming if you're in to that sort of thing, which I am. You can even hire an old sting-ray bicycle for a day! The rooms are lovely. Clean. Very important, they are impeccably clean! The bathroom was very clearly brand new, fit with spiffy fixtures and the like; so shiny one could apply ones make-up by simply gazing into the faucets. There was a super comfortable bed, larger than your usual hotel flat screen television with Foxtel, balcony over looking at the ocean in our case and a beautiful view of the Gold Coast. Waking to the sound of the sea was priceless. Everything else in the room was equally as new, elaborate and charming, we were given complimentary lemonade which I found too adorable to function! It being our honeymoon we had in our rooms waiting strawberries, chocolate and sparkling. All the staff seemed to be aware that we we were honeymooning and we were treated super special, overall the staff were wonderful to deal with whether it be at random, on the phone, in the lobby, in Bazaar (restaurant in facility- a must) or at Stingray (bar in facility- also a must.) I have recommended the hotel to friends and family and will continue to do so, it's close to main strip & beach, it's got probably the best 'all you can eat' restaurant, a fun bar and wonderful amenities.

I really enjoyed my stay here! Great vibey hotel with a cool & quirky feel. Really enjoyed the facilities, pool and hot tub, bar. Rooms were clean, spacious and I enjoyed a beautiful view with balcony. The staff were also excellent & really helpful. I want to give Dodie a special mention. I left my jackets in the wardrobe & only realized when i got to the next city. Luckily she was able to pop in the mail and email me a tracking number. The items arrived today! I'm very grateful to her and the housekeeping team for their efforts in returning these items to me. Thankyou guys so much!! You're the best

Finally a hotel in the GC that can pull off chic sophistication and the perfect blend of boutique and resort features. The hotel has been designed with such a focus on touches to match the retro theme. Staff outfits, room décor and furnishings, the complimentary lemonade ingredients for you to make in the room. As with the Port Douglas property, employees seem really happy to be here, and make conversation that seems genuine and warm, as opposed to the steely professionalism we have come to expect from properties part of a five star international chain. The hotel's location is fine, walking distance to cavil if that's your thing (although I'd question why you are staying here) and just across the road to the beach. We stayed in a King Suite and had a great view, heaps of room, basically two rooms put together, and a huge bathroom with rain shower head and separate bath. Touches like lights and lamps on dimmers were great. The whole hotel seems to have been refit, and it looks great, would recommend upgrading the gym though. Join as a priority member before booking (its free) and you get a welcome drink, complimentary 1pm late check out and 20% off food and drink at the hotel (excluding room service). See my other reviews for my thoughts on the restaurant here, bazaar, and the supposedly hip bar stingray.

The good: very cool 1950s lobby, incredibly polite and helpful staff, great location a couple of blocks from the beach. Also, the breakfast, though expensive, was probably one of the best buffet style hire breakfasts I've ever had. Rather than list all the amazing options, let's just say this: short of cold pizza, if you have ever eaten it for breakfast, they have it! The bad: It looked like since the time of the last renovation a few years ago, nothing had been maintained. That meant curtains that were grossly stained and wouldn't close properly, pillows with lumps in them, and a smell on some of the floors of mildew. Also, they charged a fee for using a credit card that was not disclosed (or at least not obviously) on the reservation. Bottom line: I suppose not a bad place for a clean, decently-located place for less than $200. But don't expect anything nice, either.

Excellent food, service, and apartments... The Pandanus Sub Penthouse suite is the bomb.,.. Awesome Teppanyaki restaurant, My favorite on the Coast..Check it out :) "Yamagen" http://www.qtgoldcoast.com.au/food-drink/yamagen/ The Stingray Bar down stairs, rocks... Great place to kick the night off..

There was a lot to like about this hotel. It has a very relaxed vibe and funky, colourful decor. The ocean view room was very big and well appointed. It was pleasing to find a Nescafé coffee machine rather than the usual sachets. Two toilets and two TV's was a welcome find. The room service was very good except the chips were quite cold and unappealing. Overall though, a very good hotel.

Cannot find a better Hotel than this. One of the most beautiful suites we have ever stayed in. Incredible staff incredible decor incredible memories. Right on the most incredible beach. What more could you want??

Nice, retro style hotel. A pleasant change from the norm. Free wifi in all rooms, and a nespresso machine. Also they serve free lemonade in the foyer. However the housekeeping staff knock off at 5pm, so if you arrive later and need something there is no one to answer the phone and your are left on hold listening to the "we'll be with you shortly" phone mesage! And when I went downstairs in the morning to ask the concierge for extra milk for the coffee machine I was told I would have to either buy it from the foyer cafe or go across the road to the mini mart.
