Cons:

This stay was far from acceptable. We experienced cockroaches in our room which the hotel staff did nothing about and actually just laughed in our face when we told them about it, there was someone else's clothes left in our room as well as numerous aspect of the room which were not acceptable. Cleanliness should be a top priority for any hotel and considering this one only had 8-10 rooms you should expect it to be significantly better than what it was. We were offered no sort of compensation at all for the discomfort we felt during our and have tried contacting both the hotel and booking.com directly and have been ignored despite having photographic evidence for everything. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, definitely not worth the money as it wasn't a cheap stay.

Pros:

Nothing. The staff were nice I

Cons:

The room was adjacent to an outside smoking area... Therefore I couldn't open the window for fresh air. No where to hang clothes. I wasn't given the upgrade which I agreed to take. The towel rack fell off the wall. The tap was very loose (afraid it was going to fall off) Requested a late checkout (30 minutes) which was refused unless I paid a full day. The room staff knocked on my door to leave room right on check out time, to which I replied with give me 5 minutes, but continued to knock.

Pros:

Location is well-served by frequent buses and within easy reach by bus of Bronte and Coogee beaches and Bondi Junction shopping. The pub downstairs is bright and friendly, Also nearby is another pub, cafes, a small supermarket, bakeries, eateries, and convenience store.

Cons:

No bedside table and no other table at all. Nowhere to place luggage except on the floor, nowhere to hang clothes (no closet, rack or anything), no hooks, Furniture was just the bed, one chair and a small towel rail in the bathroom. Also no aircon, only a fan.
