Beach Hotels in Queensland, Australia

I recently stayed at the Dorsett Hotel and was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness throughout the property. From the lobby to the rooms, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job my room was cleaned daily with attention to detail, fresh towels were always available, and the bedding felt crisp and fresh. Even common areas like the elevators, hallways, and dining spaces were immaculate. It’s clear the hotel takes hygiene and presentation seriously, which made my stay feel comfortable and worry-free. If cleanliness is a top priority for you, the Dorsett Hotel absolutely delivers. Highly recommended!

After opening the window in the afternoon, we noticed a lot of insects on the rooftop outside. We informed the hotel, and they assured us it would be resolved by the time we returned from dinner. I'm not sure if winters here aren't cold, but the duvet was extremely thin – essentially just a light blanket sandwiched between two sheets. While it was clean, it felt quite unfamiliar. The hotel also doesn't provide any disposable amenities, so guests need to bring their own. The next morning, there was a three-minute power outage around 8 AM. Later, at 9:30 AM, when we tried to go downstairs, we discovered the elevators weren't working – another power cut. We waited for fifteen minutes, but the power was still out. We asked the cleaning staff nearby, but they couldn't provide any information. We had no choice but to carry our luggage down over twenty flights of stairs. Fortunately, the ground floor exit was accessible; otherwise, once you exit a floor via the fire escape, you can't get back in! I wouldn't recommend the hotel's breakfast. There weren't many options, and due to the power outage, several items weren't available. It was just enough to quickly fill our stomachs. The coffee wasn't freshly ground either; it was from a dispenser. For two adults and one child, it cost over ninety Australian dollars, which was definitely not worth it. The power didn't return until after 10:30 AM, right when we were checking out. Firefighters at the entrance were giving stickers to children and told us to leave quickly. We promptly gathered our belongings and departed. There's a train station right below the hotel, and it's reasonably close to the sea. The immediate area isn't very lively, but you can reach more bustling areas with plenty of dining options within two or three train stops.

Parking was difficult at Noosa Beach, so I left my car in the hotel parking lot and took an Uber! The location is good because it's not far! However, it is a bit disappointing that I had to pay a rather high price to stay at the hotel during the peak season.

The hotel itself was very clean and well-maintained. It’s located on a lively street with plenty of shops, restaurants, and everything you need within walking distance. 24-hour parking was available, so I could leave my car even after check-out and pick it up later, which was very convenient. There were massage shops and delicious food options nearby, and the train station was just a short walk away. Overall, I had a very satisfying stay.

It was great stay. Clean room, quiet, peaceful ambiance plus the beach itself. Professional staff. In short we love it ❤️

The three rooms are set beachside villa, very new, clean and tidy, and the room design is reasonable. The whole family is very, very satisfied! recommend!

The hotel was extremely customer friendly. We had booked an ocean view room and they initially did not put us in that. When we went to get it corrected, they not only put us in an oceanview room but also gave us free breakfast for two days. The staff was incredibly friendly. The location was super convenient.Overall was a fantastic stop.

It was a last minute booking we made (secured the deal for the last available room at that price) and it was the best decision we made! We had to leave our airbnb due to room cleanliness concerns.  Really great central location and lovely room, with great amenities. We enjoyed the proximity to shops nearby. The room size was suitable for up to 4 pax, along with the provision of amenities such as body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The complimentary snacks and beverage packets provided in the room upon check-in were a great touch, and we even got a refill on the chips (they were a great hit with my friends) on our second day.  Thank you for providing a great and welcoming experience and I’ll be considering staying here should I visit Gold Coast again.

Maz and Alan’s place is exactly as advertised, even better than the picture. We were so fortunate to stay at the tropical paradise over the weekend. They made us feel at home. We enjoyed the stories, and the most highly were the tropical breakfast, Maz put extra effort to add different varieties. I have tried something I never had in my life, they were so delicious. The B&B is so close to beach, you can just unpack and relax. Maz is so knowledgeable, she shared some local travel advice with us. We will be back again!

+ Was an excellent stay. Great pools and jacuzzi. - Room clean could be better as they did not top up the tea or sweetener, or laundry detergent. When called to bring sweetener, they brought sugar instead. = But overall, nothing that couldn't be rectified. Would stay again and as I usually do at the Meriton.
