Beach Hotels in Sydney

I don’t usually go out of my way to give hotel reviews. Postive or negative. However I must for this hotel. I was recommended this hotel by someone I am having a meeting with in the area. It was shockingly expensive, but I figured it would be worth it due to location and it was recommended by my contact. I don’t always stay in 5star, but when staying in 5star, and super expensive, I absolutely expect 5star service. 1. Having being dropped off at the hotel there was zero bell boy to help with my luggage. I did all myself. After going inside the hotel I was asked if I would like help with my bags, but replied I already had them… again I already go it myself. 2. At every single hotel I stay in the world it’s common when you ask at reception, how is my room, do I have a good view or location they check and my change it a little for better location or room type if they have vacancies. I was replied to by the girl in reception in a somewhat arrogant manner, sir you have the standard room… with zero intent to look to see if there was better option. In countless years and counties I’ve never had this response. At lease some carding or trying, even if they were full but not just arrogant cold “you have standard”. 3. The sauna advertised is NOT free. It’s paid extra and you need to book. Why would a hotel advertise sauna when it’s an additional cost. In addition it closes at 7:30pm. In all my years I’ve never been to a hotel where it closes so early. How can one have meetings and get back to have a sauna in time. When I complained about this also I was met with coke arrogant smiles. 4. The last day on check out in morning there was no body at the front desk. Zero. Very strange. Never have I been in a hotel there was no body in reception. Even more so strange for such an expensive hotel. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. I would in fact go, and have done put my way to NOT recommend. Not even a 1 star. For the price this is ridiculously over priced. The arrive is a lousy 1 star budge hotel. In fact a 1 star would have friendlier and better authentic service. On one positive note. The gym is amazing. The gym is a 5star as it’s not a “hotel gym” but a membership gym part of hotel. My overall rating therefore is a 2 star for the gym alone. Hotel for the price they charge and the well below average service zero!

This is my first time traveling alone, so I booked a youth hostel to experience the food, accommodation and transportation of young people, and also to relive the memories of college dormitory life. I booked a triple room, which was clean and quiet. The whole hotel environment was good, and the front desk staff was also enthusiastic. Breakfast was a highlight, with many varieties. In addition to the usual bread 🍞, there were also croissants, cakes and yogurt that I loved, bacon, cheese and fresh flat fruit, oranges 🍎🍎. The transportation was convenient, there was a bus stop at the door, but Manly Wharf was only one stop away, not far away, and the beach was also close, just a few minutes walk away. I will come again next time and will introduce my relatives and friends to come.

It is a very interesting place to stay. I had a room with a seperate bathroom, which was fine as I was alone. The toilet was also seperate (and you get a toilet and also a toilet in your bathroom). So that is handy of you are with two people. Room was clean and large. What is truly nice about this place is just the history and all the services that they had. There are shuttle buses all over the park and even a shuttle bus from and to Manly. So that was great! Restaurant was lovely too.. personally I found it a bit pricey compared to other restaurants in Australia and they did not have the specials. But, the food was good, service was great and they had some live music. So overall I enjoyed it!

I recently stayed at St Marks for a few nights and found the stay to be very pleasant. The guest house is beautifully designed, it’s fresh and clean and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The location is convenient, close to shops, restaurants and the hospital and close enough to wander down to the beach as well.  My room was just the right size for me, a comfortable single bed with crisp sheets, enough storage space for my personal belongings, a little kitchenette for preparing cups of tea and a fridge to store some fruits and veggies in (bonus points for the large sink for washing them in) and a private neat bathroom. Also the added communal kitchenette was a great addition, I used the microwave quite a few times and the coffee machine too. There is also a laundry room for the guests to use which I didn’t require this time around but perhaps next time.  Thank you for a lovely stay! I would gladly stay here again in the future and recommend you to my friends as well.

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel.  The location was very good for restaurants and the LRT.  The distances from downtown was the last stop on the LRT, which depending on time took from 35 minutes to 45 minutes.  The parking was very limited and you needed to get lucky to find street parking.  Our room was on the lower level, it was very small and we needed to go up two stairs to go to the bathroom.  The bathroom was very very small. Bigger than an average sized person would not be able to sit on the toilet. We were concerned about the bars on the window.  No way to open them in case of a fire.  We also found the sound proofing in the walls and ceiling not very good.

The overall stay experience of this hotel is very good. First of all, the hotel is in a prime location, close to major attractions, with convenient transportation and very convenient travel. The front desk service is warm and friendly, and the check-in procedure is quick, which leaves a good first impression. The room is well-equipped, clean and tidy, and the bed is comfortable, which can ensure good sleep quality. Both the bathroom equipment and the air-conditioning system work well, providing a satisfactory living experience. The hotel's breakfast is rich in variety and delicious, which makes the whole day full of energy.

Just left the Intercontinental Coogee Beach and I'm already missing it! 📍 Location: Perfect. A quiet, relaxed street but directly opposite the beach. 🏨 Vibe: Superb decor and spotlessly clean. Feels luxurious but relaxed. 🌊 The View: The balcony view is everything! Waking up to that ocean panorama is unbeatable. Verdict: An absolutely brilliant stay. Will definitely be back!

• room: overall clean and equipped with fridge and microwave which was very convenient. My room was facing the side of a kindergarten so in the morning after 7.30 it was pretty noisy and during the day also • amenities: there is a well equipped kitchen, a little small for all guests but it is just about planning when to use it, there is a nice garden and books and games available in the living room • location: 10 min walk to the beach, 20 min walk to the supermarket and overall it is in a nice quier neighbourhood • staff: friendly and supportive my background: I travel 320 days a year since 8 years staying in all range of accomodation from hostel to 5star. I just review objectively what I see with no judgement

Booked this hotel based on its high review rating, but was disappointed. If you are from the Uk, I’d compared this hotel to a Travelodge. Basic facilities, bathroom felt a bit grubby, crumbs etc on the sofa in the room, and the room smelled a bit musty. The staff were all very pleasant, laundry room is available, and while it feels like it’s in an industrial estate, the bus stops just outside to travel elsewhere, and it’s around a 30 minute walk to the very nice Curl Curl beach. Great if you want a quick stop off for a night or two, or don’t plan on spending long at the hotel - but wasn’t really what I was hoping for.

The interior and the shower needs to be updated, very old and outdated. The floor in the shower fills up quickly and not running down the drain fast enough which was quite unpleasant to experience. The place needs heating or a heater as it can get quite cold during the winter. The queen bed was comfortable and warm and the room was spacious for 1 person. The reception is friendly and always smiling although it would be good to know in advance if my single bedroom that I booked for another booking so I didn't have to lugged 2 luggages and my handbag with my laptop into up and down the stairs as there are no lifts. I was surprised that a woman knocked on my door at 9:45am that she was ready to get into my room when in the booking, it says check out is 10am. That made check out a very annoying experience for me. The location is great as it's a short walk to the beach and Cronulla centre.
