Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the scenic walk from Coogee to Bondi and close to great beaches. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering good value for the price. However, I experienced significant noise from the pub below, which made it difficult to sleep, and the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired.
I had a great time at the Coogee Bay Hotel overall, especially reminiscing about my previous visit. The garden area is lovely for a drink, and the location near the beach is unbeatable. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with the new menu not hitting the mark for me. I enjoyed my stay, but there are definitely areas needing improvement, especially in terms of food quality.
The hotel experience was a mixed bag. While the rooms were decent and the pub area was enjoyable for a night out, finding the check-in and navigating to the rooms was quite tricky. Additionally, the dining experience left much to be desired, as the food was overpriced and not very good. Overall, it offered some fun moments, but certain aspects need improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is truly unbeatable, just a short stroll to the beach, and the building is beautifully renovated. However, the noise from the outside traffic made it really hard to get a good night's sleep, which is a big downside. While the room itself was lovely and comfortable, the dining options are overpriced, and I found myself disappointed by the food quality.
I had an amazing experience at the hotel, with beautiful rooms and incredibly helpful staff. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, which was a huge plus for me. However, my dining experience was less than ideal due to the service issues we encountered late at night. Overall, it had great value for money, especially considering the amenities offered.
