Coogee

"The hostel is cosy and social. It’s not a party hostel, but people do socialise in the kitchen. The beds are the drawback here - they are rickety and every time someone moves in their bed, you can hear the springs. Also my bed moved every time the guy in the top bunk rolled around. I’m 193cm and couldn’t stretch out in the bed. Difficult to sleep. If you value your sleep, find another place. "

Meriton Suites Zetland

Zetland

10/10 Excellent

A really good choice in Sydney. Reception staff were very efficient and accommodation. Our room wasn’t quite ready but they offered us the lounge area that had coffee and tea including showers whilst we waited. Apartment in Block O was clean, lovely comfy bed, good bathroom and kitchen with a coffee machine, which was ideal to have morning cuppa on a nice balcony on the 12 floor. Location was perfect, lots of shops and restaurants around in Zetland, a very short walk to the bus stop (304) into...

The lodge is perfect for those looking to stay in a great spot in Sydney without breaking the bank. The rooms are spacious and very clean, as well as having excellent quality modern amenities. The shared bathroom facilities are also well maintained and clean. The staff are friendly and make themselves available either in person or over text to help with whatever you need. Would definitely stay here again next time I visit Sydney.

Fantastic location, wonderful staff, excellent facilities. Good number of bathrooms, love the washing line option. Breakfast is great. Plenty of crockery/cooking utensils in the kitchen. Bedrooms are nice with a decent amount of space - with clothing rails and hangers, to boot! The covered balcony is lovely and spacious. The living room is comfortable and relaxed. Atmosphere is friendly and chilled, even at weekends. Good proximity to supermarket, restaurants, BARS, buses, and the beach. CBD...
