5 night stay in manly
The staff were really friendly and helpful. It’s a nice place to stay. But very expensive for what you get. And our room was not cleaned once on our 5 night stay (however I think this is because we booked a private room.) shame there was no air conditioning

Overall, a nice place for young people who like to socialise and have a party. Good breakfast. Very nice that you can use a bike for a couple of hours for free. The problem that I had was with the noise at night. Although the kitchen and the bar were officially closed at 11pm, people continued to socialise/party in their rooms till 4am, as well as slamming doors, so it was very noisy. Also I was next to the bathroom on level 2, thus lots of noise from a hand dryer. Well, it’s an old building so I guess it has very poor noise isolation. However, if you aren’t planning for a good night sleep but rather for a good night party, it’s a place for you!

Hi Anastasia,Thank you for your feedback! We are happy that you enjoyed our breakfast and bike hire. We're sorry for the noise. All our common areas shut at 11pm therefore there is no noise/music allowed after this time as we want all the guests to enjoy themselves but we also want guests to be able to enjoy a good night sleep. Would you be able to share with us more details regarding this scenario so I can further investigate. Please email us at: hello@stokebeachhouse.com.au.We truly appreciated your feedback as it is thanks to this that we can improve and provide the impeccable customer experience we aim for.I hope you would be able to give us a second chance and come back and visit us soon!Kind regards,Team Stoke Beach House

通常の生活では、体験できないような若者がたくさんいる宿泊施設での滞在。私は非常に楽しかったのですが、妻は少しシャワールームとか共用だったので不満があったようです。 それと、私たちの年齢からして、若者の間で過ごすのは、妻は少し抵抗があったようです でも貴重な体験できて良かったと思います オーストラリアに来て1番楽しかったような気がします。ありがとうございます。
