Loved my stay, comfortable and convenient.
Pros:

Location was very convenient

Cons:

The phone line is disconnected if you try to contact them before your stay. The only way I could get a hold of anyone was by messaging them directly in booking.com

Recommended stay in Bondi Junction
Pros:

Room was very comfortable and a space to rest. It was centrally located and walkable to bus stops and shopping centres. Staff were very accommodating to let me keep my bags before check in and after check out while I was waiting for my next accommodation to open up.

Cons:

The rooms are expectedly small. It isn't centrally located in the CBD in case anyone felt like that was important in their planning. But it is in a nice part of town.

Wonderful location, good rooms and terrific staff
Pros:

The location is perfect. You are a short walk from busses and trains which can take you to the city and the beach. The staff are wonderful. They were friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

There were some slight cleanliness issues with my room. The counter below the sink was dusty, as were the shelves above the wardrobe. There were also some stains on the floor.

These were minor issues and didn’t take away from the positives.
