Absolutely gorgeous.
So gorgeous! Lush for the senses. The building is beautiful. Rooms are so quiet. Adore this location. We had a room directly looking on to the QVB - beautiful!

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

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

Wonderful hotel with spacious rooms above the State Theatre

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.

Good but nowhere near as impressive as it was on our initial visit
Location & mood/ambience
Ummm - the other side of the hotel doesn’t have the same feel to it as the dark side where we stayed previously & the lift is a real nuisance as it doesn’t go to all floors & throws you out onto the street instead of the old worlde foyer down below.

Great staycation in Sydney
The room was clean and the bed was super comfy. Paired with the black out blinds, I had the best sleep I've had in a while. I also liked the dual shower hose and head and the bathroom and tea amenities were also great. And the kettle was super quiet. Albeit a little smaller.
The toilet being in the same room as the shower was a little awkward when my partner and I needed to use the bathroom to get ready at the same time. We also had to ask for cutlery because there wasn't anything available in the room. The mini bar fridge was also stocked full so we had to remove a few items to be able to put our water bottles inside.

Great stay!
The hotel has a nice quirky vibe. The room was spacious and had a lot of facilities. The staff was super friendly and the location is right in the middle of all the shops and close to public transport. We had an amazing time. Downstairs there's also a very nice French restaurant with great steak and fries.
The room was a bit dark as it had a bit of moody lighting. But that is only something very minor.

Good hotel in a great location. Needs some improving
Quiet, large rooms. Location is perfect for exploring the City. Interesting and fun vibe to the hotel. Extremely comfy bed with black out curtains. A nice touch when managing jet lag
Room lighting isn’t great. We had an Executive room with a single window which didn’t help, but the room was generally quite dark with all lights on. Film selection was woeful. Hotel bar was quite small and normally packed with other guests. Bathtub next to the wet room shower means that every time you shower, water goes everywhere.
