Great location but noisy upstairs so minimal rest

No service, no breakfast, no nothing...
Cons:

It is simply a place to stay, without staff, breakfast, or anything you would expect from a typical hotel. So read carefully what is provided before booking.

Forgo this accommodation
Pros:

I liked that the hotel room was spacious. It worked for 2 people

Cons:

So many things -
It felt dirty. The bedsheets felt gritty. There were ants in the bathroom. The hotel ALWAYS smelled.
The front desk was never accessible. They had a sign saying to call their other hotel reception after hours, and they didn’t answer, to leave a message and they’d call back. It was very difficult to get ahold of them and then they wouldn’t call back after messaging

Coin laundry & the hotel wasn’t very cooperative in giving me coins in exchange for visa payment. I’m international and didn’t have cash. I was staying there over a week, literally WALKED to one of their other hotels for customer service, and they were so unhelpful. I’m the customer here, and laundry is only $3 - just give me the coins?

The neighborhood was also gross. Do not stay in randwick if you dont have to.
