We like QT hotels & this one is convenient to ANU. Nice rooms. Clean. Helpful staff. But…. I’ve stayed there twice in the past year & both times the construction noise level is ridiculous —-right outside the window Mon-Sat. Nice bar but I really wish there was a quiet space you could byo wine & snacks & chat with other guests/friends staying the same nights (without the beef for perching on the end of their bed!). I did try the level 15 ‘lounge’ but was told very directly by a staff member that is not public access - functions only. I thought I was imagining it but confirmed it with others: there is quite a weird & unpleasant smell at the receotion counter at times.

The hotel is showing its age. The condition of the room was below my expectations. I have stayed at the QT a number of times before but not for a couple of years and there's been little investment in room upkeep and maintenance in the meantime. Quite disappointing
