Coogee Sands Hotel And Apartments On The Beach

The location drives the price for this property. It ia a very average place to stay, nothing special. The staff however were very friendly, helpful and upbeat. The parking is also a huge advantage being directly opposite the beach and any parking in this area (in summer/sunny days) is very hard to find.

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.

wonderful location right on Coogee Beach with beautiful views right outside the door. Walk to the beach and the rocky headland. Lots of great restaurants just up the street. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful . I found twin beds too soft , otherwise I would highly recommend

I thought the place was great. I found a shuttle from the airport to drop me off right on the doorstep. Room was decent sized with a nice bathroom as well. I did the Coastal Beaches walk from Coogee to Bondi which was spectacular! Bus ride was about 20ish minutes to the Circular Quay.

great location with attentive staff and well looked after

The location was handy to shops and restaurants at Coogee and right at the beach. Reception staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions for local restaurants. Parking was a bit tight with not a lot of room to manouvre, but we would be happy to stay again.

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

the best spot ever

A comfortable hotel right on the beach at Coogee, so some distance from the city although transport into the city and elsewhere is easy. The staff are friendly and it is a great place just to relax.

Bit expensive considering there was absolutely no view, except for the wall of the building nect door. For the price would have at least expected a bit of a view considering it was very close to the beach.
