I have traveled a lot and this was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at in my life. What the pictures on the website don't indicate are the rooms in the "heritage" part of the hotel. "Heritage" must be short-hand for dilapidated and poorly maintained. The way one reaches the "heritage" section from the parking garage is... More

If you want to enter the hotel pub you have to submit fingerprint and photographic scans (face and a driver license) . I don't think this worth it... If they did scan your details and you want to remove them from the database (assuming you didn't get into trouble..) it is possible via http://www.nightkey.com.au/manage-details.php More

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights this month. Nice, well appointed, clean and simple rooms, with good staff interaction at check in and out. Great location close to the beach, and surprisingly little noise, although at times was a factor. The room rate was expensive for this type of hotel and included a "light" breakfast that certainly lived up... More

This is really one of the worst hotels I've stayed in so far. It is not worth the high price! When we came into the nice looking reception a colleague and me were quite optimistic that this is a nice hotel. However, a series of failiures startet with the inactivity of the lady at the reception. All employees in this... More

I stayed here last Saturday when in Sydney for a concert. The area was awesome with some great cares and restaurants across the street as well as a chemist and other shops which came in handy for my hangover. I stayed in a pub room which was old with a few cracks in the walls and some mould in the... More

We only stayed one night to attend an event in Randwick/Coogee in a 'Boutique District Kitchen' room with our 3 kids. Perfect location and good to be back in Coogee for the weekend. Room was very clean, decent size bathroom with shower and a bath. Great to have a kitchen, but didn't get to use it much with all the... More

Great fun place to stop over - we were lucky enough to have 2 nights there. We were given a spacious and beautiful Ocean View suite on the pub side, with the very best ocean view & a large shared veranda.
