I am a local and have always wanted to stay at QT, so after reading a few good and bad reviews on here I decided I would stay with my partner. The service of the porters was disgusting, they ignored me as I dragged my bags into the lobby myself and then up to my room. But at least they... More

Dear BonnieL870, Lol. That's more of a review on me than the hotel, but I'll give it a go! These are hotels, and I am responding to people that we can't connect with on any level to find out if they even stayed with us. We need to be a bit lighthearted when the person reviewing directly under you had... More

The new QT is great value! It is the old Gold Coast International building that has been totally redesigned to a modern retro look. It's all new, really friendly staff and great rooms. The QT is only 5 minutes walk to the centre of Surfers, but just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The pool is small compared... More

Hey TonyW, We love that you loved us! We are really getting an education on our guests though this site and it is like gold to us. Stingray is for sure the place to be on the coast on Fridays and Saturdays, and we do have one night stays because sometimes we get people who trek to us just to... More

There's a real vision behind the overall style of this funky retro inspired (renovated) hotel. The breakfast buffet was AWESOME, one of the best I've ever had (and i've been all over the world). The rooms are fresh, and the staff are very helpful. One thing I would say is 'Stingray' the lobby bar was way too busy on the... More

Came back in december 2011, and it was still a perfect weekend stay! All the hotel rooms have been creatively renovated and the complimentary fresh lemonade 'stand' in the king deluxe suite was just icing on the cake! We also got room service which was delicious and it makes it a lot easier when you dont charge extra for the... More

Dear sweettraveller17, After week of tough reviews last month, I am tickled pink to see QT shining on TripAdvisor again! So delighted that you enjoyed the lemonade. It's a lovely thirst quencher on these balmy coastal summer days. We would love to see you agains soonest, Sas QT More

My 11 yr old son and I just spent 6 nights staying at QT and it was really very good. The room was clean and modern with a beautiful new bathroom and big comfortable bed. My son especially like the big flatscreen TV and we had an almost uninterrupted view of the beach. All the staff we had contact with... More

Dear Kazzygirl, I love to hear a great story about a family coming away and enjoying QT. Surfers Paradise is such a wonderful place for kids, and we think that our hotel provides a really great place for parents to be able to get a proper holiday experience themselves while doing the theme park trail. We often say how wonderful... More

I took a mate from Vegas and the lady up to the Gold Coast in early Jan after hearing the radio advertising for QT – thought it sounded pretty much up our alley. In summary, QT is close to being a great hotel but seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. “Come and play”, “Miami cool” and “glamour... More

It does happen, and it does take a mammoth clean up job to make 100% sure that it is back and perfect for guests. So sorry that this happened during your birthday stay! Boo. Also sorry... More
