“Amazing hotel... Fantastic staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We stayed two nights at the hotel QT Sydney for a weekend getaway and shopaholic trip...
The staff were fantastic. Always attentive, fun and nothing was too much of a hassle. We will stay again just for the service!
The beds were comfy, bath was great (thanks to reception to talking me into the european bath). Coffee pods for first thing really beats instant (thank you so much... saved my sanity!).
The day spa treatment was great. My partner had the shave (the don??) but wasn't as happy unfortunately (but he really did enjoy the steam room).
Amazing decor... amazing staff... We will definately be back soon.

Room Tip: Go for the larger bath unless you are petite!

“This will get better as things settle down”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

Wife and I stayed one night, fortunately we called ahead about check-in parking and arrangements for overnight parking - it gets a bit hairy in Market Street around lunchtime! Check-in was very smooth and the "Chaos Managers" did their jobs with our bags and the car well (after a little nervous confusion at the start about who did what with the car. They'll no doubt get over that once the hotel is more than 5 weeks old). Rooms are a total hoot but finding room 25 on our floor was a trial. It's the only room not mentioned on a directory sign. Loved all the detail stuff in the rooms and the bed was super comfortable and, despite the location, the room was super quiet. That's two out of four of our essentials taken care of. Tip-top cleanliness and tight security are the other two so four out of four for all that. Our fifth star always goes to the fine detail and there are some small "misses" (like two bathroom basins but only one cake of soap and a smoke detector directly over the bed that blinks two lights all night). We'll be back at some stage to enjoy the amazing decor and musical lifts and anticipate that we'll be able to award a perfect score then! Great concept, Qt.

“Loved arriving to be greeted by the stunning Art Deco facade”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The lovely bell staff added to both the sense of 'arrival' and an anticipation of an exciting stay. We found all staff to be friendly and proficient without being overly intrusive. Throughout our stay we enjoyed 'discovering' different decorative items and "objects d'art" that we hadn't previously taken in (check out the evening gown constructed of 1950's type corsets on display in the downstairs coffee shop). Whilst there was an undoubted air of excitement in the hotel we did find when checking out the bar/grill that perhaps we were the wrong 'targeted' age demographic for the hotel. Both levels of the grill were crowded with people obviously enjoying themselves. But the noise level, both music and from guests (perhaps some acoustic mitigation needed), was overwhelming. The wait staff tried to find us a quieter corner but we could not find somewhere where we thought we could hear each other to relax and catch up on one another's day. We enjoyed our room which again felt like there was a lot to discover and also had everything we needed. We also liked the 'retractable' door which allowed one partner to talk to the other whilst one in the bedroom, the other in the bathroom. In summary we very much enjoyed our stay but would have liked to 'eat in' at night in comfort.

Dear Beppi from Brisneyland,

I have got to agree with you. The bar and restaurant are absolutely pumping, especially later in the week. We have had some really great, high-level press loving the food and drinks which has meant that these offerings are positively bustling at the moment. Many apologies that you didn't get to chill in at the se venues while you were with us.

As for the the rest of your stay, it sounds like we really hit the mark. The corset dress in the display case at Parlous Lane Roasters is one of my absolutely favourite pieces in the whole hotel. Truly naughty and very on theme with the property.

Next time you visit us, please send me an email at sas_rowlands@qthotels.com.au so we can look at making sure you get to have a relaxed and enjoyable evening. It might even be an extra special in room dining experience built just for you!

Loving that you loved the undies dress.

“Down the Rabbit hole !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

What an unbelievable property ! Decorated by Lewis Carroll, after he had gone down the rabbit hole, the most surprising mix of colour, objects and textures make the whole property a sensory overload.
The bar was incredible, although the service left a bit to be desired, terrific atmosphere and this place is clearly the place to be seen at the moment.
Front desk and door staff were friendly and informative.
Rooms were like the rest of the property, the only down point was the bathroom. Great layout, although the lack of a door on the toilet might be an issue for some, but awful lighting. I struggled to have enough light to shave in the mornings, even with the curtains in the room thrown wide open.
Overall, a terrific property, I'll definitely be back !

Dear Petefromrye,

When I describe the property to my friends, I always reference Alice in Wonderland. Oversized high backed chairs in the brightest of bright colours, tea sets, costumed staff. I completely agree with you, and I think that is one of the best compliments I have seen written about the property.

I'm delighted that the staff were their gorgeous selves and took wonderful care of you. Even more delighted that they knew their stuff as well! Not just pretty faces, the QT Team!

We've had a few questions about the lighting in the bathrooms. There is a light on the side of the mirrors that creates light specifically for applying makeup and shaving. We might need to give a little pointer out in the rooms methinks, as it's now a proper recurring question mark on this site!

Please come again soon, 'when you're lonely in a world of your (sic) own'!
