Great service and location
Great service, particularly from Maddie and Josh. Lovely big room. I am grateful they stored the luggage of other people who were joining us and not staying at the property

Fabulous
Loved the room
Clearer instructions on how to access the room would have been helpful. It seemed like multiple building pulled together with different lift option depends on room number. We eventually worked out we could leave the building by a service door as apposed to dealing with multiple lifts.

Delightfully quirky in design, staff MOST empathetic
Has character
I was unable to contact re cancellation up to 1 day before, reception gave empathetic response. Lighting subtle, reception responded when I requested a magnifying mirror on loan

Fabulous guest experience
Everything about the hotel was excellent. Fantastic location, hotel decor is quirky and fun and staff service exceptional. So many hotels don't have comfortable beds, these were great. The shower was massive.

It was short but sweet!
The staff were very accommodating
My son said that the cot that he slept on was very dusty. He has a dust allergy so he was a bit uncomfortable.

Excellent, centrally located hotel
The room was quite large and spacious. The decor was interesting and quirky as typical of the QT hotels
The room outlook was a little ordinary on that side.

Great hotel, will definitely stay there again
Loved the hotel, great location. Staff were wonderful and I had a great 3 night stay. The room was a great size. In particular I loved the very comfortable bed, and the giant bath towels! Brunch at The Parlour was very nice and very convenient.
Minor thoughts only - Shower design was definitely form over function - looked great (the entire bathroom was very styley), but water spayed everywhere making the entire bathroom floor very slippery - its was one of those ones where the shower has no sides. The only coffee in the room was Nespresso capsule coffee, would have been nice to just be able to make an instant coffee.

Great Location, beautiful room
Great location, you walked out of the hotel into shopping heaven and it was only a short walk to the various bays of the waterfront, Darling Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. The trams were handily located as was the subway to get to and from the airport. Comfortable bed, big room, wonderful bathroom with an amazing bath (I had an upgrade)
Everything was great but perhaps a tray or similar to make your cup of tea/coffee on as it felt like I was making it on a beautiful piece of furniture and I was worried about damaging it
29 September 2025
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. Thank you
Staff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. We received a room upgrade that made our stay much more enjoyable and comfortable with the extra space for our son to stay with us. We appreciated the gesture.

Enjoyable - short
facilities perfect - Idea - provide one free martini on arrival in the room (Optional)
The female receptionist was not overly receptive whilst the male front of house was much more welcoming - this is the important as l have stayed before and travel to Sydney frequently - also stay at the Establishment - also staff on the street Entrance - Excellent and welcoming

Highly recommend
Very clean, very quiet and in a great location
It would have been nice to have a bit more lighting in the rooms especially the bathroom

A great stay in the centre of Sydney
We stayed here for my birthday and it was an amazing time. The rooms are so spacious and clean with well-appointed bathrooms. The room was so quiet! We would definitely stay here again.
Nothing to note.

Loved it!
We had a short but very enjoyable stay. The room was quiet, clean, spacious & equipped with everything to make for a very comfortable stay, including kettle & coffee machine. Inner city location was perfect for our needs. We loved the theatrical decor & had dinner at Gowings which was outstanding. We look forward to coming back for a longer stay! Thank you.

Location location location
Super convenient location on Market Street, especially for shoppers being across from Myer, Westfield, David Jones etc. The hotel is in a character building - it was a little hard to find the entrance to the hotel ( up a lift just inside the cafe entrance) but was rescued by a friendly member staff. Very comfortable bed, spacious bathroom with rain shower, lovely bath and separate toilet which is great. Excellent food, fast room service. Happy hour in bar with limited choice but very good cocktails. Little French cafe on ground floor does excellent steak and frites as well as breakfast.
I found the hotel too dark. The dark colored decor - some might find opulent but I find gloomy and a bit depressing. I couldn’t wait to get out of the hotel into the light outdoors.

Great experience in the heart of the city
Unique decor, fantastic location for shops, eating out, and taking in a show at the state theatre. Large rooms with modern, great amenities. Very quiet considering it's the middle of the city and there was a nightclub operating 2 floors below us.
Had to carry out bags up a flight of stairs to get to the lift to our room.
28 August 2025
Very good
The locating was fantastic and staff superb.
I wasn't a fan of the dark scenario and found all the black in the rooms to be quite dusty and old looking.

A pleasant hotel in a great spot
Room was quiet and comfortable Breakfast a Parlour was very enjoyable and I was able to take time out to do some work and enjoy breakfast. Coffee was very good. At the Gowings Bar, it was a nice spot to kick back and do a but of work over a drink. One of the waitresses was very attentive skipping around the tables to ensure that you had food and or drink. It made for a great experience. Location was perfect with proximity to Rail, Tram and Buses.
I thought the concierge lacked attention to detail or any awareness of what was going on. When I arrived and started unloading my luggage, they just stood there. Once I unloaded everything (in the rain), only then did they ask me if I was staying there. All the while, the concierge was playing with his football in the doorway.

Fun and convenient location when you need somewhere in the city
Very funky and unique, decor was a lot of fun both in reception area and the room
Didn’t like that there’s no way of completely blocking the people in the bedroom space from being able to see people inside the bathroom-I shared with friends not my partner, so made it a little awkward

Staff always willing to help

It was the best, most relaxing, comfortable stay I have had in a hotel (and I travel A LOT)!
I loved everything about the QT. I stayed for 3 nights. It was the perfect location, the room (Jnr Suite) was AMAZING, the staff were so helpful, and I love the overall vibe. The uniforms the staff wear are so cool! Adds to the vibe. I was so sad to leave and I cannot wait to stay again!
There was nothing I didn't like. I will always have great memories for the QT Sydney and I can't wait to come again!
