Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Voco Gold Coast is appreciated for its proximity to Surfers Paradise attractions, being within walking distance of the beach and close to Cavill Avenue. The hotel features modern decor and comfortable, spacious rooms, and some guests particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Its location is convenient for public transport, with the Surfers Paradise light rail station nearby, and the Skypoint tower is just opposite the hotel; however, a few guests have found some rooms to be small and without a balcony.

Decent stay near the beach

fresh foodcentral locationwarm hospitalityfull car parkadditional costshort distance

The breakfast buffet offered many choices and fresh food. The location is central to the beach and restaurants. The staff provided warm hospitality (george and kanishka from front office were helpful!).

The car park was completely full upon arrival. I had to park a short distance from the hotel, incurring an additional cost. This was quite frustrating given the existing cost of the stay (parking should be included).

the location was indeed close to shops and restaurants, that was good.

check-in took too long, a bad start. i also found a dirty towel in the bathroom, a very unwelcome surprise. it made me question the cleanliness of EVERYTHING in the room, it was not very relaxing.
