“Perfect Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Coogee Sands are perfectly located apartments right on Coogee Beach. It serves its purpose well, close to all amenities. Families with young children will love the ease of strolling to playgrounds, restaurants, beach and the public transport.The rooms are of a generous size and clean. Pay the little bit extra for the courtyard room for that extra bit of space you need with kids, or even to be able to enjoy the fresh air without leaving your room. The rooftop BBQ area was lovely with great views. Avoid paying the extra surcharge for breakfast as you will find much better value and quality at various cafes only five minutes walk away.If you are driving into Coogee with a 4WD, note their undercover carpark is restricted to 1.8 metres. Friendly staff, great service and fabulous stay. Would recommend to friends and family.

Room Tip: Rooms with a patio will give you the little extra space you need with kids

“Second stay better than the first”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

We have stayed here two years in a row in December. Both times we have been very pleased with service from all staff and the amenities of the apartment. Off-street parking is a real boon in Coogee, and easy to access.

Room Tip: Go for Partial View rooms if you want to see the ocean, or Full Ocean View for the best view. But be...

“Great Stay for any occasion”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

I have stayed here now 4 times and the funny thing is I live in Sydney only 20 mins drive away. This hotel is great for any reason to get away from home it is in Coogee right on the beach where you can feel like you are miles away from home. The hotel is fantastic the rooms are clean and roomy, rates are very affordable and what really mean't alot to me is that the staff are friendly and helpful.Coogee has heaps to offer as everything you want is at your finger tips. There is a bus stop just 2 min walk away to catch a bus to the city and taxis are in abundance. When it comes to dining plenty of options in cusines and always a cold beer not far. Can't fault anything, worth the stay can't wait to go back to relax again and feel like I am out of Syney.A big thankyou to Rebecca on reception I know there are two of you but I hope you know by this BIG THANKYOU that it is you.

Room Tip: Love the third floor and the courtyard room is fantastic

“Lovely location, good for early flights”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

Second time staying here, very convenient for Canberra people with early morning international flights from Sydney (ie a same day flight from CBR won't get you to SYD in time). Lovely spot pretty well right on the beach, easy access to cafes etc a short walk away, and quick run to the airport in the morning against the traffic. Quiet, tho stayed on a week night so not sure about night noise from the hotel next door on weekends. Parking good underneath, though a bit squeezy to get into. I liked the helpful touch of a rubbish bin at each support column in the car park, handy for all that junk that accumulates on a road trip. Will no doubt stay there again.

“on the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

This hotel is right on the beach. I stayed just one night this time but have been before and will be back. It is not a fancy hotel but has everything that you want. The staff are very pleasant and the rooms are airy and clean. I was in a courtyard room and if you leave the door to the courtyard open you do sometimes get noise from neighbours or the bar next door, but it is not really bad. There is free car parking - although depending how many guests have cars you can miss out, but there is alternate parking across the road. Coogee is a lovely seaside spot, very relaxed for Sydney and it is an easy bus ride into the city. I've not stayed in the ocean view rooms at the front but I expect they have spectacular views.

Room Tip: Courtyards attached to courtyard rooms are quite large and private

Dear MartinCanberra,

Thanks for taking the time to review our hotel.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. You are right in assuming our Ocean View Studios have spectacular views of Coogee Beach. In the warmer months, our 2 levels of complimentary undercover car parking can be quite popular, which is why we note that it is subject to availability. Our staff always assist guests to find nearby parking on the occasions that the car park is full.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Coogee Sands Hotel & Apartments.

Kind Regards,

The Management Team
