Great family size apartment located right across the road from the patrolled beach, cafes and restaurants. There was also secure parking under the building. Although we didn't use the local buses, there looked to be frequent services to Bondi, Randwick and the city. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a family beach holiday.

Jacqueline, you are correct, our apartments are extremely spacious and very suitable for families who enjoy large living areas that overlook the beach. Parking in Coogee is at a premium and we are pleased to be able to offer secured underground parking complementary to our guests. We are located right on the beach and our guests have quick and easy access to all the vibrant cafes and restaurants, plus the public transport is easily accessed and constant. This enables guests and tourist the opportunity to quickly explore other well-known areas of Sydney. Thank you

Beautiful apartment and size but absolutely no sound proof as stated and may as well slept in the street. The windows felt like there was no glass in them. Room 806 view very restricted to the beach view as promised due to huge trees in front . Never slept for 4 nights. Shame as beautiful location but wouldn’t stay there again.

We found this property very nice. It was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and amenities were provided - shampoo, conditioner, soap, tea, coffee and sugar. We would have liked milk as well however there is a convenience shop just across the road. The property is also very close to Coogee Beach and lots of dining venues. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again ourselves for sure.

Wonderful sized apartment but the lifts were out of service all weekend. Very annoying when you are lugging a baby and pusher up and down stairs. Also rubbish when we left the apartment had to walked back out on the street before you could get access.

Good location with reasonably equipped kitchen, washing machine & dryer, a bit dated but functional, close to beach, eateries and buses, car parking a bonus. The main was a bit short, being 163 cm tall my feet still hung over the bottom, ended up sleeping in the single beds but otherwise good. Would book again.

Dirty unit and dangerous lift
As previously advised the unit was not clean with rubbish under the beds and lounge as well as between the lounge cushions. The curtains were dirty and falling off their tracks. No mattress toppers, beds were hard, towels were worn out, fridge leaked water over the floor, wifi didnt work, TV chanels not working, shower dripped, light bulbs blown, had to get the maintenance guy in, We got stuck in lift no. 1 and had to call the lift company. The permanent residents said that they never use lift 1 because it always breaks down. This is the worst stay I have booked through Hotels.com

Beware!!! Disgusting and very unclean! Location and layout of place were the only positives. There were what appeared to be white and blood bodily fluid on the bottom of the bed, I had to clean the bathtub from grime using laundry detergent before we could use it. All outdoor chairs were disintegrated and torn to shredded. Couches inside had stains. Brown water stains on wall and dust a cm thick on the baseboards. Oven door broken and while it works heat pours out as it doesn’t close properly. Carpets are revolting and appear 20 years old. Internet doesn’t connect at all. We tried to call the service desk over the weekend every day and while they took a ticket and promised someone would call us back, we never heard back. We If you are going to try it, be sure to have a few alcoholic beverages to help lower your senses and put on some beer goggles.

We loved the location, view and spacious living area. The beds were really comfortable and the living room was tastefully furnished and comfortable. Constructive feedback: The ensuite sink was cracked. Some of the dishes and glasses in the kitchen cupboards were not fully clean and the dishwasher hadn’t been unpacked when we arrived. Overall a great place to stay, it’s in a fantastic location and we would happily stay there again. Thank you.

Staff were excellent. Room was below par and we will not be staying there again. The carpet was drenched and the whole apartment smelt of wet carpet. We went out on Saturday night and when we got back one of the blinds in the lounge had fallen completely off and was lying on the floor. The blinds in the living area were putrid. One window in the second bedroom had wind coming through it even though you could not open the window. The apartment itself was well appointed but in desperate need of maintenance and repair. The air con was not working correctly and we had to sleep with our door shut because of the smell of the carpet. Our sister was 2 floors above us, however we had to walk right around the outside of the building to get to her floor because the lift would not allow us up to level 6. We stayed in apartment 501 and notwithstanding the above the view from the living room was spectacular however we could not stay in the room because the smell was overwhelming and made us feel quite sick. In our opinion this apartment is not habitable and we should have been given a complete refund. To say we are very disappointed is an understatement, for the amount charged it should have been better. We appreciate the problems associated with the current heavy rain, but, notwithstanding this the apartment is under maintained and as previously pointed out, not habitable

Excellent location with very easy access to the beach and main street. Transport to the city centre is also very easy. The size of the apartment was fantastic and it was well appointed. It could have been cleaner (table sticky, quite dusty behind beds etc which was noticed when plugging in chargers etc) - looked like only a surface clean was done. The condition of the apartment was generally quite worn i.e lots of marks on walls, carpets, tiles, some light fittings broken, fridge was unstable and dishwasher did not wash properly. Apartment has fantastic potential but does need a refurb. Regardless we had a great time as Coogee is a beautiful area

This property is in a fantastic location but - don't expect to get any sleep, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. The noise from the restaurant sharing a wall with you, and from other similar places close by, is horrendous. They have double glazed the master bedroom which reduces it marginally but the noise in the second bedroom is unbearable and is impossible to sleep through. The partying stops about 2am, then the rubbish trucks wake you at 4.22am - all in all about 2 hours sleep. We had to buy ear plugs just to survive another night. This happened both nights we stayed which were Friday and Saturday nights.

Thank you very much for your candid review of your recent stay at our hotel. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as we strive to improve with each and every stay. I greatly appreciate your comments about noise from our neighboring business. Coogee is a very lively suburb surrounded by the East Coast's most breathtaking beaches and lots of cafes and restaurants. Sometimes the street facing apartments could gets a bit noisy than our beach facing units. Hope that you will enjoy staying in our beach facing apartments in the near future.

Good location but the apartment is not worth the price. It had broken bed slats on one of the beds (made the bed unusable). This was reported but not fixed or even followed up on. The room was very noisy as the seals on the windows have worn down leaving a gap for more noise and breeze.
