QT Gold Coast

What can I say—don’t judge this place by Google reviews! I’ve stayed at QT Sydney, Melbourne, Queenstown, and now Gold Coast, and once again QT did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our entire 5-night stay. Our room was perfect, with stunning city views. There was no balcony access, which didn’t bother us at all. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, with a great variety of options, including gluten-free choices. The pool area was great too—yes, it could be a little busy at times (expected during the holiday season), but it didn’t take away from the experience. The location is unbeatable: literally a minute’s walk to the beach and tram access, or an easy 10-minute walk into Surfers Paradise. Overall, our stay at QT Gold Coast was amazing, memorable, and exactly what we expected from QT. We absolutely loved it and will 100% be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at QT Gold Coast. The staff were very friendly and professional. The pool and the ambience near the pool were amazing. Buffet breakfast was good with variety of options. Special thanks to staff who were working on Christmas Day to make our day special and comfortable, they always had a warm and welcoming smile. The rooms were neat and clean. The bathroom design could have been better as it was always wet with the bathtub and washbasin always spilling out water. The balconies were closed, best to mention this on website to be transparent, we knew about this after checking in.

We thoroughly enjoyed the QT Gingerland High Tea. I can't explain how exceptional this experience was. Best high tea I have been to by far. There were sweet and savory towers to share, with an edible beach scene, it was incredible! Two chefs came out and explained all the delicious, skillfully made delicacies to us, so everything felt very personalised. There was a great selection of drinks. Our waitress Sarah was absolutely amazing, so lovely, nothing was too much trouble, she was so kind, attentive and professional, and made our day so special. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a very memorable day!

My husband booked this for 1 night as a surprise for our 1st Wedding Anniversary. We have stayed in many 5 star hotels and were extremely disappointed and tbh don't know how they got the 5 star rating. We arrived early and wasn't expecting to be able to check in straight away but was told by the lady at reception that she would ask the cleaners to prioritise our room and would msg when it was ready. We had lunch at the Japanese restaurant which was spectacular. The food was amazing and we had a very attentive waiter. However that's where the positives end. After no msg we headed to the desk to see multitudes of people getting keys for their rooms and were told it's almost ready, another couple of minutes. Half an hour later at 3.35pm the room was finally ready. It was nice but nothing to write home about for a 5 star hotel. The next morning we went down to breakfast and there were no tables available. It was way too small for a hotel of that size so we just decided to leave and go home. We also told the lady on the desk the reason for us being there. Not that we expected anything but every other 5 star hotel we have been in for a special occasion have sent us a bottle of wine or champagne complimentary. Considering my husband paid $580 just for the room, I would not choose to stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic stay overall. We’ve had two successful nights so far, with tomorrow being our last night, and the experience has been excellent. The hotel is in a perfect location, very close to the beach, which was a huge plus. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. We initially booked a twin-bed room, but the hotel kindly accommodated our request and provided us with a nice double bed, which we really appreciated. Air conditioning worked perfectly, and both housekeeping and room service were absolutely fabulous — attentive, friendly, and efficient. Coffee at downstairs cafe was super tasty and definitely worth it. The only minor downside was noticing a small chip, possibly from the door or ceiling. We informed the front desk and they immediately sent someone to inspect it. While it was concluded that it didn’t come from our room. Overall, a wonderful 5-star experience with excellent service and a prime beachfront location.

Our stay at QT Gold Coast was truly wonderful. The hotel has such a stylish, vibrant atmosphere, and everything from the lobby to the rooms feels modern, clean, and full of character. Our room was comfortable, beautifully designed, and had great views that made the stay even more enjoyable. We also want to acknowledge the hotel’s exceptional service. When our balcony door wasn’t working, the team handled the situation with great care and professionalism. As a gesture of goodwill, they offered us complimentary breakfast and parking — something we appreciated very much. It really showed their commitment to making guests feel valued and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety, and the overall experience felt relaxing and memorable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend QT Gold Coast for its quality, style, and excellent customer service.

We were very impressed with this hotel. The staff were attentive and friendly, the room was comfortable with a beautiful view, and the buffet breakfast was absolutely delicious. The pool area was also a standout. The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the beach and shops. We booked a package that included parking, breakfast, and drink and meal vouchers, which our kids thoroughly enjoyed. My husband also thought the gym was excellent. Overall, a fantastic stay and we’ll definitely be back.

QT Gold Coast is neat, tidy and conveniently located 2 tram stops from Cavill Ave, the same tram can take you all the way to Pacific Fair shopping centre or in the opposite direction (tram and bus to the fun parks), obviously Ubers and taxis are also available which our exhausted bodies did on the return trip. Five minutes from the hotel is a beautiful patrolled beach which could be seem from our King balcony ocean view room; we loved opening the balcony doors of an evening to feel the ocean breeze and hear the roar of the waves rolling in.

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.

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.

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

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.
