Eastern Suburbs Hotels in Sydney

huge reception area and nice friendly check in.we had 2 double beds in our room which didn't leave much space to move around, but we were only staying overnight,so it didn't matter too much.bathroom was tiny.overpriced we thought,but we couldn't get anywhere else at such short notice.perfectly located for beach,shops and nightlife.

Wonderful! Close to everyting in the city by bus.

Location is very good, right across the parking lot from the beach. (Any indication - a Crowne type hotel is about 200m away & this one is closer to the beach than that one). Also, down the street (meaning VERY short walk) from shops & food. Next door to another Hotel that has a nightclub/bar/restaurant & also down the street from two similar ones. This proximity can mean loud music on Fri & Sat nights, but otherwise quiet. Hotel has agreement with a few shops along the walk (imagine it as 'along the boardwalk') where you can charge the food to the room & pay at the hotel. Customer service is pretty good. The hotel is small so the front desk people will remember you & provide minimal concierge service if requested (they can arrange taxi, recommend where to eat, arrange & book trips). We had a few issues (2 'sea roaches' as I call them [large brown roach like bugs that aren't scared of the light, don't move fast & can also be found in the ocean] were found in our room (one each on two different days) and they just cleaned our room extra good (didn't offer to switch us). Courtyard room is on ground level which means the discourteous people upstairs can spit on you if they're not cognizant that there are people below them. I called the hotel immediately after booking to ensure I got a courtyard through the entire stay [& could stay in the same room] (I booked 2 separate trips dates meeting in the middle 1/2 courtyard & half 'regular'), the manager on duty at the time looked it up in the system, said that would be doable & that we'd pay on check in. During my stay I had to They didn't offer any concessions for the inconvenience other than keeping me in the courtyard room as long as possible before moving. Room appointments for studio rooms are average at best - blow dryer in bathroom, iron in living area. Kitchen includes microwave, fridge. TV doesn't have a DVD player & has about 19 channels of cable. Price is pretty high considering how 'basic' the hotel is, but everything is priced high in the area, so I gave value an 'average' rating. I wouldn't discourage anyone from staying here, but would also weigh my options.

TOO SMALL FOR TWO ADULTS AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN. ALSO NOT ENOUGH UNDER COVER PARKING. VIEWS OF OPPOSITE BUILDINGS. WOULD NOT RETURN.

Great location Clean and modern feel I would return The lift is rediculously slow and should be air conditioned.

Some rooms can be very noisy - street noise and room air conditioning compressors on balconies that serve two arpartments. Great access to cheap restaurants and supermarket.

Clean, simple rooms; more like a motel than an apartment. Beds not comfortable - sofa bed nearly impossible to sleep on, but not unexpected for the price. One review said soap not provided- it is. Good location near good cafes.

Easy walk to the beach, clean and spacious room with lounge and kitchenette.We enjoyed our stay and would book again next time in Bondi.
