Was undoubtedly a 10/10 in the past…
The staff were excellent and bent over backwards to accommodate requests and took feedback really well. The design of the hotel is also spectacular, with uber cool art and a great bar/restaurant. We were also very happy with the room size.
It’s time for an update, don’t you think? In our room alone, the sink was cracked, the bathtub was cracked (!), and there was rising damp and damp spots on the wall by our window — all of which we brought to the attention of the check out crew. The gym was absolutely despicable; an airless room with insufficient aircon and decrepit equipment. Enough about that. I’m also of mixed opinion about the CBD location, which is great if you’re there for work or on a mission to shop, but still quite a walk to the waterfront or The Rocks.

Beautiful hotel, great location - worth every cent!!
Everything - it’s a beautiful hotel. Very clean, great service, very comfy. Bathroom was exceptional. My only complaint is we only had a one night stay and didn’t get to spend much time enjoying the hotel itself!
Nothing.

A stay at the QT is always an absolute delight.
QT is my favourite hotel for Sydney trips. It's really quirky. I love the interesting decor, which is slightly different in every room and the music in / random comments from the elevator always puts a smile on my face.
The restaurant was really busy at breakfast time - it took a while to get a table which is entirely understandable (especially as I was on my own) - but the poached eggs were overcooked and butter for the toast took another 10 minutes to arrive. If you're breakfasting there, order the pork sausage - best one I've ever tasted!

As soon as you walk up to the doors it’s almost like going back in time. The old style vintage vibe is so welcoming and the staff are amazing very personal and professional. The rooms are amazing quirky modern and set the mood for a romantic weekend or night out on the town definitely one our favourite places to stay Sydney

A lovely escape from reality
Central location in the city close to all major attractions and shopping. Beautiful interior that made me feel like I was in an old school Hollywood film.
A little tricky to navigate the entry.

Quirky with a great location.
The hotel has a great quirky atmosphere. Fantastic location in the city, and very friendly staff. We were in two rooms, 516 which bright and comfortable and 805 which has a great view of QVB. Very large room and bathroom.
Nothing-will happily stay here again.

Lack of USB C outlets. Hip hotel but not current technology
18 January 2026
Was pleasant overall.
I like the vibe of the hotel. Centrally located. Was able to enjoy boxing day coz it was easy to go back to the hotel after we have gone shopping.
Elevators where situated in 2 different areas. You can get a bit confused.

A uniquely designed hotel in the heart of Sydney
A uniquely designed hotel, with very friendly staff and in a great location. The bed was sooo comfortable
For. 5 star hotel, the settee in our room was not very comfortable
11 January 2026
Stylish, comfortable, very well located hotel.
Very attractive hotel with a lot of style and very comfortable rooms. Superb location near major shopping centres, walk to Darling Harbour / Barangaroo and access frequent trams to Circular Quay. Felt like a destination in itself rather then then just a place to sleep. Also enjoyed excellent breakfast at Parlour on the ground floor. Very welcoming staff.
Whilst the vibe in the room required subdued lighting, an option to turn on some illumination when needed, especially at the desk, would be appreciated.

Fantastic stay in CBD. Great location for getting around all areas and very comfortable, quiet, rooms for relaxing afterwards. They do a steak frites on Monday and Tuesday for $40, which was very good too.
Our room was quite dark. A mirror in the room (as opposed to inside the cupboard) would be good for getting ready. Open shower situation can get very wet in the bathroom. Not a huge issue as housekeeping are brilliant but could be better designed.

Very good
Amazing location, in the center of the city but the sound isolation is very good so there is no noise in the rooms. Rooms were spacious enough and comfortable.
Lack of buffet breakfast was a big dissapointment. For a 5 star hotel, I also expected a pool which is not available.

Our Twin Room was a good size & comfortable.
Bit disappointed in the restaurant this time around. Standards slipped a bit from previous visit. Bar staff were excellent.
9 January 2026
Very nice but I felt a bit mislead.
The room I was assigned was a nice room but it was not what booking.com showed me at time of booking online.
It would have been nice to get the room that I was shown online. It was very easy to determine that it was not the room I was shown online.

Stylish Sydney base for our city-break.
Fabulous, stylish hotel in perfect, central location. Great drinks & dining in Parlour.

Great hotel and location, loved the decor - bar staff could do with a wake up call.
restaurant downstairs is really enjoyable, excellent staff and food, drinks. great people watching loaction around theatre time, if you get near the window / doors.
The bar was often overcrowded (especially around theatre time) which was a little annoying as a guest wanting to pull up a chair or stool..... service at the bar was not like the restaurant - you have to muscle in to get someone to actually care that you want a drink. The bar staff do not do eye contact with customers and this would be a great training opportunity for management to instigate. They should be looking to see "if he wants a drink" It's not supposed to be up to the customer to wave them down every time. After all, drinking is the money. It is not difficult for the team to also offer a drinks menu when someone sits down, I short cut that to get up and go get my own from the end of the bar..... not a big deal but mmmmm could be better.

Great location and one of our favs!
Second stay here and it's always one of our favourite hotels in the city. The location in terms of central Sydney is by far the best, especially if you are moving around shopping or going to dinner. Check in is so easy online and makes the physical check in process very quick. The staff are super lovely as well!
Pricing of parking is a little rough!

Perfect stay in the heart of Sidney with great travel links to the entire city.
We were staying for a week so the QT upgraded our room. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay; the breakfast is delicious; the bar and dinner joint Gowings is great. Our bedrooms were very comfortable indeed. we loved our stay here - thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Fab stay in Sydney CBD
This might be the comfiest bed I've ever slept on! It's a really thoughtful hotel, they've put alot of effort into making your stay as fun as possible. The location is also excellent - its super close to lots of tourist attractions and the Town Hall station is great for exploring further afield!
Nothing much - our view wasn't great, but that didn't take away from the expierence.

Would recommend this hotel, staff were lovely and room was spacious, clean and comfortable
Very clean Lovely staff at check in Great central location
Rooms are quite dark - not necessarily a bad thing as pictures do show this A bit noisy at times, never heard road noise but room would shake when neighbours came and went and would make the glass ornaments rattl for quite a while after any vibrations Didn’t recognise the entrance but staff were very helpful and directed us as we blindly walked past

Overall excellent
The service at QT was outstanding, particularly from Andy the valet and luggage attendant. He was warm, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about his role, proudly mentioning that he’s put his heart and soul into his work for the past eight years. That level of dedication made a real impression.
