A unique comfortable place to stay with a Retro vibe in a great location & friendly staff.
Pros:

Breakfast? What Breakfast?? Would've loved that but wasn't made aware of that lol. Sitting outside in front of our bottom unit was lovely. A nice grassed area to enjoy a BBQ if there was one available. The whole place was a joy to experience inside and out. The bed comfortable, even the pullout couch which our Son spent one night on. He told us it was great which we were thankful for after he had just spent 15 hours running a 115km Marathon the day before. The only suggestion I would like to make is the glass toilet door could do with a stopper against the wall to prevent it from accidently hitting against the tiled wall. Also the toilet seat lid has lost its "soft close" therefore occasionally slammed down hard against the seat. The other thing I'd like to mention is the bodywash and shampoo holder inside the shower fell off the wall on day 3. something better than a bit of tape to hold it on the shower wall would solve that problem happening again. Otherwise...our holiday was very pleasant at the Pink Hotel and would stay there again in a heart beat. Being right in Coolangatta was very convenient. We enjoyed conversing with the lovely friendly staff and have told a number of people about our wonderful experience. Thankyou from April & Jeff Bawden.

Cons:

Not been made aware the breakfast was available.

It was disappointing to find all the Beach BBQ's were Out Of Order and then finding out there was no bbq available at The Pink Hotel.

OK for cheap stay
Pros:

It was central to what we wanted to look at. The rooms had plenty of towels etc and the kitchen area had plenty of dishes cutlery, mugs and glasses.

Cons:

The hotel does not offer Free to Air on the TV. On the 2nd night we were unable to get the TV to work then after a couple of tries it did. On the last night it was impossible to get it going. Not a good look.

Handy location for a Cooley Stop Over
Pros:

Staff very friendly and excellent Coolangatta location, on the beach.

Local neighbourhood noise (early hours) didn’t make for an excellent sleep.
