Hi - if we get any surveys about our accommodation at The Star please give it a 0 out of 5 rating… They didn’t service my room even though i pressed the service button in the morning. Out of x 4 nights it was serviced once. they didn’t give any replacements of anything except a soap bar, rubbish bins weren’t emptied… Concierge team were wonderful we wanted a meeting room for 1.5 hours and they wanted to charge $700 which was apparently half price - yet there were no people anywhere near any of the meeting rooms… Frankly never want to stay there again please

We stayed for 2 weeks and we liked the price and location. It would have been nice if the room was cleaned twice a week especially staying that long. And 1 towel per person for a week I don’t think is enough. It was fairly clean. Wish I was up one level so I could have used the Balcony and had a bit of a view. It was strange that the desk closed so early as well but maybe that’s Australia. I know some places they are open 24/7 The hot tub wasn’t very hot

The staff were great, friendly and helpful but I wouldn't call this a hotel. They have good facilities like the pool, spa and sauna but also no bar, no restaurant, no café. You have no phone in your room. The sheets are not changed (you can pay for a room service). Beds are not made. You have to empty your own rubbish. I've never experienced this at any other 4 star and I don't expect this of a 4 star hotel but maybe in Australia 4 stars are given just for amenities. But as I say, staff were lovely.

The hotel understood my concerns about the traffic noise and my request to move to a quieter room. However they said: As our property is located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, right on the main road, some level of noise is unfortunately unavoidable due to the central location. My response: I was not prepared to pay more to move.
