Hotel Bondi

The location, the staff, the room - I liked pretty much everything. I was on the level 3 and it wasn’t noisy for me at all - cause I saw people complaining about it in the reviews - so there was no need to use the earplugs provided (and I stayed for 9 nights and I am kinda a light sleeper). My window was overlooking the inner courtyard and not the street per se. Bed was comfortable. However the wall between the room and the inner courtyard was thin indeed and once there was a lady who decided to take a phone call there and I could hear every word as if she was in my room. Great a/c - could set up your own room temperature. Decent size shower, there was also a kettle and a fridge and the housekeeping was daily however I thought it depended on a person who cleaned the room, sometimes they would leave me milk in the fridge for my coffee and sometimes they wouldn’t. I took a bus nr 333 to go to town and it would typically take me 50 minutes to an hour to go to the circular quay one way. Not ideal but I preferred to live near the ocean. Bus stop was a 2 min walk. Grocery store Woolworth was 3 minutes walk, McDonald’s was 2 min walk. Bondi icebergs was like a 7 minutes walk and the beach itself like a 2 min walk.

Close proximity to beach, the excellent restaurant and the friendly, courteous and helpful staff who also kept and informed me of something I inadvertently left behind. To the kind, slim lady housekeeper who informed me and the staff who kept it safe, a huge thank you. I also liked the table and chairs on the balcony but they should be maintained. The one cushion was stained and the table needs a daily disinfected clean which did not appear to be the case, despite the very busy and good cleaning staff.

The rooms were just fine. I have no complaints. The property was cute, had a restaurant and bars. Plus it was right there with every type of eatery, ice cream, grocery store or activity. The beach is across the street, a busy street; however, Aussies have great crosswalks. I bought the parking, which was cheaper than anywhere else. Just be able to park really well. It was tight. It was quite the experience. Book early though.

Great location for the event we attended at Bronte. Very comfortable room that was a good size with all the facilities you would want. If I needed to stay in the area again, would definitely stay here. Only realised we needed to reserve a parking space in advance at the last minute. When I called they thought they were full but they called back and had managed to find us a space which we were very grateful for :)

Fabulous location to central Bondi, walking distance to beach and surrounds. The room was comfortable and clean and suited our needs for a brief weekend stay. The room had a small fridge, kettle, hair dryer and tea/coffee. The hotel staff were helpful and courteous. We checked in late due to flight delays, which they accommodated.
