Expert reviews
“Rough concrete surfaces, brass trim, lifts with tapestry light boxes that play house music and say random stuff in a Russian accent: this is one of Melbourne’s newest, quirkiest and best boutique hotels.”
“QT Melbourne, recognizable from the outside by its reflective copper double doors, is a 188-room hotel whose striped, gold-accented and neon lobby encapsulates its quirky industrial vibe and maximalist décor. Its central location is unbeatable for convenience.”
“The hottest hotel in town. QT Melbourne finds its inspiration in the historic rag trade of nearby Flinders Lane and the ‘Paris End’ of Collins Street. Kitted out in video art, neon sculptures and chatty, flirtatious lifts, this is a hotel that engages, intrigues and bemuses like no other.”

Very comfy night to celebrate my wife's 40th
Super comfy hotel. Liked the attention to detail and my wife loved the dyson hair-dryer!
Check in took too long. The left hand bedside table looked tired.

Great room, great bathroom, fantastic modern furnishings.
Not set up for people that wear makeup- ie. poor bathroom lighting (mood lighting only), can’t get close to mirror to do makeup.

Lovely break in great location with friendly staff
Stylish hotel Lovely rooms great rooftop bar
Nothing to really dislike. Only slight thing to point out is that the rooftop bar is open to the public and is quite popular , so at night time it gets a bit taken over by the general public. When we were returning to our floor after using the bar there were large groups of people who were a bit drunk and swearing etc

Quick Melbourne weekend
We loved everything about the hotel! Our room was super spacious and stylish. The bathroom included a huge bath, Kevin Murphy products and a Dyson hairdryer. Would 100% stay here again!
The check in time of 3pm felt a little late.

Great weekend getaway!
The hotel was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is great for a weekend getaway in the city.

A really cool hotel in central Melbourne.
Cool, modern, relaxing, central.
If I was being super picky the traffic was sometimes a bit more audio than I’d have liked. Not a deal breaker though as this is an awesome hotel. But if you’re super sensitive ask for a room on the other side.

A property to stay at for location to central CBD.
Great location and comfortable bed
We were put into a ‘disabled amenities’ room due to maintenance issues which was fine other than the low cabinets and the shower leaked water everywhere- also the lighting was not the best. The bed however was very comfortable and we slept well.

Stylish hotel in the heart of Melbourne with spacious rooms and great comfort
We had a fantastic stay at the QT Melbourne. The room was spacious, the bed super comfortable, and the bathroom was a great size with everything we needed. A stylish hotel with excellent attention to detail - highly recommend!
Only downside was being on the 2nd floor facing Russell St, where some street noise from cars and motorbikes carried through at night. Otherwise, a fantastic experience and would happily stay again!

Soundproofing from the hallway into the room is not amazing.

Good option in CBD
Central location, big spacious rooms, friendly staff, good food.
Could do with some refurbishment, appeared a bit worn out. Key card gave problems multiple times.

Happy to go there again. Location, staf, design and rooms are marvelous
Location, room size and layout, artwork on display
Coffee capsule under the wardrobe implies that cleaning is fast and at times superficial in hidden corners

The only place I stay in Melbourne walking in and smelling the signatureWT scent feels like home
Comfort and styling

Excellent. Would stay again
The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The room was beautifully decorated with a very well stocked mini bar and cupboard.

Very good
Great style, location and vibe. Great place to stay to enjoy all that Melbourne has to offer.
As business traveler who likes a hip hotel and having stayed with twice in the past month I'd really like a better set up to work. Even if you nominated a couple of rooms with a desk or offered a 'business area'. While there is a table the ergonomics of trying to lean over your laptop from the seating is difficult and uncomfortable. I ended up decamping to the bar downstairs but that wasn't easy having all the noise in the background.

excellent room clean quiet well laid out
Postmix tonic water is a bit of a surprise at 5 star hotel prices

The QT exceeded our expectations, the room including the 'extras' such as shower products, dryer and sound system were all above what you would normally get in a 5 star hotel, even the tea options were from T2. Considering you are right in the city the room was very quiet. The service was also excellent especially from the gentleman from Barcelona. We were looking for a relaxing night away in a 'boutique' hotel and this was perfect.

Perfect for our short stay
Restaurant was perfect for our anniversary dinner Place was quirky and comfortable

Enjoyed our night in the city for our anniversary
Great location to explore the city. Excellent roof top bar.
Rooms are quite dark. Bathrooms/toilet are very open which may not be to everyone's liking. Views aren't great. A bit of a night club feel.
