Very friendly staff and great location. The bed was SO comfy. We received a call before our stay asking if we would like an extra bed for our 5 year old. Very thoughtful.

The location is excellent—just a short walk to shopping areas. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were attentive. We were even allowed to check in early as the room was ready.

Really nice hotel in a great location.
Always love the QT properties and especially the location of the Sydney one. The room was nice and spacious, great bathroom and well thought out little details, such as the light switches next to the bed. Staff were also really friendly and helpful.
The property is looking a little tired and missing some of the extra, quirky touches that it used to have. I was there for a week and only one lift was working in my section of the hotel the whole time - made it very slow to get and down from the 11th floor. It is also a little annoying that unless you know the additional entrance (which the staff don't tell you about) you have to get one lift, walk through reception and up stairs (difficult with heavy bags) and then to another lift.

Beautifully unique in character, fantastic vibe.
Loved the location, perfect for seeing a show at the State Theatre, as well as walking about the city.
Room was a litle cold for me, even with the air con set to max. Turning it off altogether was the best option. Other than that, the lighting in the bathroom was a little too dim, almost goomy.

Very pleasant stay
QT Hotel is a very beautiful establishment, tastefully decorated and elegant. The room was spacious and functional with very comfortable bedding and a large practical bathroom
The only downsides were that the room was a bit dark (lacking natural light) and the staff were somewhat cold

Great place for a staycation - will look at it when booking theatre next time.
Very unique style. Restaurant fantastic so no need to leave but also opposite QVB so somewhere to wander easily around.

Comfortable hotel in the heart of the CBD, bedding, exceptional, and amenities is great
Location really great !! Always love QTs well appointed, large rooms, a Dyson dryer , really comfy bath & beautiful bedding !
Of all the QT’s I have stayed in, this one has the most bizarre decor. A little bit crazy, and a little bit kitsch, and I have to say the bathrooms are exceptionally masculine and 1980s …not in a good way. Other than that, the hotel is lovely. They always smell great!

A long weekend stay to catch up with family. The QT was a great location & excellent rooms.
Beautifully appointed rooms with great ambiance. Brilliant location.
We should have booked earlier for the spa facilities as it was booked up.

Always love staying at the QT
Love the QT always my preferred place to stay anywhere I travel. Love the quirkiness its a vibe! The staff was very nice, I got an upgraded room with the choice of what facing of the city I would prefer. Checkout 11am. Water pressure in the shower was perfect. I also ordered a coffee to the room in the morning which was an amazing coffee and was extra hot and the service was great.

Love this place, had such a fantastic time. Unlike like the bland “modern” vibe that so many hotels have now days, this place has character and has been arranged with care and attention to detail in even the smallest of areas. Highly recommend!

Fun, exciting and an amazing central city getaway location to enjoy Vivid Sydney
Andrew at the front desk was super helpful ad friendly and kindly gave us an upgrade just for being nice.

Comfortable and quirky
The room was comfortable and quirky. Loved the little touches that made the space unique - the top hat lamp, cabinet with perfume stoppers.
The shower. I love a good shower, and I know that the fashion is to have a rainshower along with a handheld shower head, but sometimes this just doesn't work. This was one of those times! Both shower heads ended up soaking the bathroom! It was not a relaxing experience at all.

Very good
I love the hotel but
But my same negative as last time. The lighting. It’s too dark. I find it frustrating. There are more than enough power points in the rooom and lights but not bright enough for reading. Placement of the lights on the ceiling should be above the bed. One small thing the closet is too small for 2 people.

Superb - we would stay again at a QT Hotel, with either in Sydney or elsewhere - we have previously
Beds and pillows were superb; Decor was interesting and exciting; welcome at reception was great; location is amazing
A better explanation of where to enter the hotel and what to look for would have helped; when asking for a map, waiting until everyone at reception had been dealt with could have been better managed

Quirky perfection!
This is one of my favourite hotels to stay at. The staff are so friendly and attentive and the styling/facilities are unmatched. The rooms are spacious and have the most comfortable beds! I was slightly overcharged on my room service bill and was happy to have the difference refunded but was refunded the whole cost. They know how to do customer service at this hotel.
It’s probably time for a little freshen up as some areas are looking a bit worse for wear eg the lifts, dust inside cabinets, edges of bathroom tiles/sink/shower.
