I started staying at the Sands as I live in the country and it was then very close to where two of my children lived. Even though they have moved further away I still choose to stay there. The staff are all friendly. There is an excellent bistro straight downstairs which is reasonably priced. You can buy your drinks at... More

We booked here for the June long weekend, Sydney city had marked up its prices to unreasonable levels, we found this hotel to be very neat, tidy, 20mins approx to Sydney, close to the beach and in a quiet area. The hotel accomodation is above the pub and bistro however you cannot hear any pub noise. We would totally recommend... More

pleasantly surprised - this small hotel had friendly staff and such spotlessly clean rooms, we had a connecting room with other family members, good sized rooms (sleeps 4 per room) and bathrooms and a small balcony which was great. Close to the beach, bistro down stairs, cot readily available for our grandson. Would happily stay here again.

My family and I stayed here for two nights in April. I wasn't expecting too much as I had read reviews and was aware that the motel was above the pub. My first concern was the noise however we were pleasantly surprised as our room was very quiet despite being on top of a pub. The rooms are very clean... More

This is a standard pub hotel, not a separate hotel with frills (as we thought looking at the location on Google maps). Small, clean, no-frill rooms. Deluxe rooms get cramped quickly for a family of four. The free wifi isn't free...you'll need to crouch awkwardly in the hallway outside your room while checking your email IF you can get a... More

Hi Nathan. Thank you for your great feedback about our WiFi set-up. It's taken some time, but since you stayed with us, we have completely overhauled our WiFi set up. We have added a second ADSL line, and 5 separate signal boosters so you can choose which signal strength is the best for your room. So no more dead zones!... More

This location was good for us as it allowed us to drive into Sydney via the M5 motorway past the airport and use only a few km of local roads, with free parking at the hotel. There is a good bus service from near the hotel to Maroubra Junction and into the city. The area is quiet residential and the... More

location is good, beach is really close and lots of shops next door. But the whole set up is very disappointing, by all the other reviews, we expected something completely different. the rooms are on top of a bar where people bet on horses and other sports, the receptions is behind a small door and all looks like there are...

We appreciate these comments and are sorry this guest had other expectations. We are quite proud to be what we are - a clean, friendly, surprisingly quiet country-style family hotel just a short walk from one of Australia's most famous surfing beaches, with lots of Aussie and international guests who love us and keep coming back. The bar downstairs is... More

This is such a lovely beach, why would you want to stay at Coogee or Bondi ? We were apprehensive because we heard after we booked that the hotel was above the pub and yes saturday night was a bit noisy but a pair of ear plugs sorted that and you have to expect that on a saturday night -... More

The rooms are a nice size, reasonably quiet, clean and comfortable. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. Location is perfect with the variety of shops next door, playground and its proximity to Maroubra beach. Will definitely stay again when in Sydney. Thanks for the nice experience.
