There were a lot of food options which was one reason I stayed there. Very convenient buffet breakfast with a lot of options. Good coffee shop, bar and restaurants plus room service. I liked the option to skip housekeeping and get more points for my account which was good for me as a single traveller and not needing daily housekeeping. Some areas were a bit old and needed renovation. All staff I met were helpful. The wait for a table at breakfast in the morning was too long. They had only one staff member doing a lengthy process to check people in and show them around the buffet and to their table while many hungry people waited. Two staff would have been better to not keep people waiting ages. The tram right outside the hotel was extremely convenient. Location was good and an easy walk to Cavil avenue for food and activities. I would stay again.

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.
