Great location, but the room was terrible. The soundproofing is awful, I had a neighbour come back at 3am and could hear every word of her hour-long phone conversation. I could also hear people in the hall constantly and upstairs. The temperature control didn't work either. The staff are nice, view was lovely, and it was a clean hotel. But the noise really ruined the experience.

We had a good experience! The staff were wonderful, and the location was perfect, walking distance to everything and right in front of the tram stop. Our fridge stopped working, but maintenance replaced it within 10 minutes, which was impressive. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

Too crowded at breakfast restaurant. No cutlery until asked for it and no much variety of food. Room conditions is good but hard to differentiate hot and cold taps. Chargrilled restaurant service is poor. Food is not hot / warm and needs improvement on taste. Hotel receptionists are polite and welcoming.

I had a pleasant stay at Voco Gold Coast. One thing I wasn’t aware of beforehand was the AUD 350 security deposit, which would have been helpful to know in advance. That aside, the complimentary breakfast was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and the location—right at the Surfers Paradise Tram Stop—made it incredibly convenient to explore all the sights and sounds of the Gold Coast.
