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 rooms were a good size, featuring nice towels and a comfortable bed. However, they didn't quite look as nice as the pictures. It was a bit noisy on the weekend due to the pub downstairs, which was a downside.

Dining was a letdown this time. I found the food overpriced and the new menu fell short of expectations. The squid salad was mostly garnish, and the burger tasted too much like a fast-food classic—not what I hoped for.

The facilities seemed quite standard for a hotel of this type. The bar area outside is nice for drinks, but overall, I expected more variety in offerings.

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.

The rooms were okay, but overlooking the main street meant dealing with traffic noise a bit too early in the morning. The bedding was comfortable, which was a plus.

The dining experience was quite disappointing, as I found the food overpriced for the quality. A burger resembling a fast-food option was not what I expected.

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.

Rooms

The room was clean, beautifully styled, and had a comfy bed. However, the windows were paper thin, leading to a noisy experience throughout the night.

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.
