8.5(7096)8/10 Nice Hotel in good location
Stayed here recently for one night on a work trip, whilst it is a nice hotel I wouldn't say it was a 5 star hotel.
Check in & out was fast and they were very friendly and informative, No Valet parking is offered, so if you arrive by car at the front door, you have to either drive all the way around the other side to the casino entrance for them to valet park or you enter the car park next door and self park, a little bit of a mark off for that, especially after a long day of driving.
The hotel is an easy covered connection into the casino so you can be in there within a few minutes to eat drink or gamble if you desire.
The room was nice, but not amazing, no real chair or desk to sit at and work if you need to, not much storage for clothes etc, but staying only one night didn't impact too much.
The bathroom was well appointed and plenty of space, but the water whilst good pressure it seemed to go from hot to cold and back again.
The one thing I thought was strange with the room was that strategically placed on the bed was a card outlining every item that is in the mini bar and the pricing of each item, but when I opened the fridge and drawer or cupboard, they were all completely empty, so not sure why they would promote it ??
Didn't get to use any of the other facilities as time was limited, but I did notice the lifts could be quite slow, and signage wasn't great to highlight which lifts were for Dorsett and which were for residences, also a few people seemed to have issues with the card swiping so they could select there floor, so had to ride up to a higher floor and then back down to lobby or whichever level they were on.
All in all was an ok stay and I would probably stay again if in the area for work.

9/10 Lovely hotel in a perfect location.
The location was great with quick access to the beach and shops. You would easily be able to get around on the tram as well. I liked the fit out and cleanliness.
There is room service options. The pillows were nice, the room was serviced. It wasn't too noisy. Staff were all incredibly friendly and they approached my daughter on arrival to gift her a teddy which was a lovely touch.

8/10 I'm so happy I chose the Dorsett. Loved the hotel and Staff .
Loved the hotel . The Cafe was great . The staff in the Cafe were lovely and made the best coffee . The gentleman that works there was really funny and extremely friendly . Gabi was also lovely and friendly . Always nice when staff want to have a chat and enjoy working . Nothing was too hard when I asked for my coffee to be made in a certain way . . I also liked the free bottles of water.
All staff were lovely and professional .

10/10 Fantastic stay! Great location
Thank you Dorsett for a lovely stay! We stayed here for a birthday celebration and were made to feel very welcomed. Staff were very friendly, checkin/check out was easy and quick. Location was AMAZING! Less than 5 minute walk to Broadbeach restaurant and cafes, and the beach was near by. On Easter Sunday there was Easter eggs hidden around the lobby which was cute of the hotel to do.
Overall will definitely stay again and highly recommend

7/10 Questionable and quite uncomfortable.
Not too bad.. We definitely had higher expectations of the staff. Didn’t seem too friendly or welcoming upon arrival and also during our departure. We weren’t even asked how our stay was let alone a thank you upon returning the keys directly to a staff member at the front desk.
We did only stay for a night due to our requirements but high chance we wouldn’t book again in the future for extended stays. Also included breakfast at ‘harvest buffet’ is very below average in quality.

10/10 Pleasant, beautiful, complete!
Everything was so lovely. The room is beautiful and comfortable. The lights system pretty easy and clean and modern look. You can regulate de air con to the half degree granularity. And the buffet at the Harvest restaurant was absolutely divine and heaven for severe coeliac people. Chef was so attentive and the whole staff pretty thoughtful and on top of their game with cross-contamination. Absolutely would come back

10/10 I loved staying there. We can’t wait to come back again.
It was great to stay on the executive level to have access to the executive lounge. We love relaxing there. The breakfast was great and we really enjoyed the canapés and drinks of an evening.

10/10 The perfect experience!
The best hotel! It is luxurious, in a perfect location and easily accessible. The staff were professional and welcoming, the beds were perfection and the facilities amazing! The price was the same as we have paid for a motel that doesn’t match any of the quality this hotel has! Excellent!

10/10 Definitely felt welcomed there
The staff were amazing, took my 94 year old grandmother down for the Elvis concert, while picking up my car in the car park I sat her down in the foyer, when I returned one of the staff went and asked if she would like anything and then made her a coffee, made her day and also made mine

Balcony overlooked a busy construction sight right next door. Would probably have paid for a different room if made aware.

I was asked for a card to be placed in the room written by me, which I was told after I rang up again that morning to make sure that it would be in the room that I would be and on arrival it wasn’t.

6/10 Disappointing
This hotel is very nice, but certainly not spectacular like the photos depict online.
The rooms are very clean, but there are no drawers and only a hanging rod for a wardrobe. We found one drawer which had an ironing board in it, so we removed it and used this for our clothes.
The bathroom is nicely appointed with great water pressure in the shower, though it was difficult to regulate the temperature.
It took forever for the hot water to start and then it would suddenly get scoldingly hot. The room itself was rather small with a balcony. The door was permanently locked so we couldn’t use the chairs outside. Though this didn’t really bother us.
We booked an Executive King Panoramic room which had a nice view, but don’t waste your money. The executive lounge is ordinary. The breakfast a huge disappointment with only a few choices. We were fortunate enough to be allowed to swap for the Star Casino’s Harvest buffet breakfast together with other guests, who had their breakfast included in non executive level rooms. We weee not offered compensation for this.
The Dorsett swimming pool was beautiful, but sadly not heated like the website states. If it was heated, everyone found it extremely chilly.
The beautiful chairs in the shallows of the swimming pool pictured on the website do not exist and have apparently been transferred to the Darling next door. Many commented on these missing!
So we used the beautifully heated Star swimming pool next door which was lovely, but the ambience not as nice as the Dorsett’s.
The website also states underneath room descriptions that it is “beachfront”. It’s a good 10 minute walk to the beach.
The staff were very polite and efficient

8/10 Dorsett was good,without being amazing.
Dorsett was good, without being amazing.
Stayed 4 days recently with my young bloke as treat for week before starting high school.
> Had room on 15th store, was woken a lot for noise big bangs of other room doors closing (may have had bad tenant)- mention to reception. Was clean and good room clean each day. Double twin is small.
> Breakfast is pretty bad- walk to casino in separate building, que, que for access to restuarant and food, auto coffee machines broken, still charge for barista! food was 2.5/5 at best.
> Pool good but can't handle traffic- get your towels down quick 7.30 am onward's in January
> location to Broadbeach works.
> last one that really annoys - asking for receipt at checkout p? no be emailed to you sir. you sure? yes - No email!
I think I will have to pay for exec lounge next.
Had good time but not sure i'll be back and book with Dorsett, booking.com doesnt get points

8/10 Not the panoramic view I’d imagined
Stayed for one night recently booking a panoramic view room - yes it had windows on two sides but looked straight out onto a construction site! Not really what I was imagining to be panoramic views.
This hotel is located in The Star complex - a few blocks from the beach and the hub of Broadbeach with some great restaurants.
Nicely decorated in the common areas and room and huge bathroom and while we didn’t use it the pool like great with plenty of lounges. Beds and pillows were super comfortable.
There was a little cafe in the lobby that was great for a morning coffee.
I feel we got good value at a rate for this hotel at under $300. Definitely not 5 star but would consider for future visits.

10/10 Couple of nights !
Love The Dorsett we stay at both The Star and here. We find The Dorsett is a bit more modern obviously because it’s newer. Pool area lovely but lack of shade especially on one side of the pool. Need more shadier areas! Bathroom/shower lovely, so are the rooms compact but adequate. Cafe/bar area very nice and staff welcoming.
