What guests think

Coogee Bay Hotel draws praise for its beachfront location, spacious refurbished rooms with ocean views and balconies, and friendly, helpful staff, while a recurring downside is noise from the on site pub and live music, especially on weekends.

Parts of the property lack an elevator, so some rooms require climbing stairs. Housekeeping is praised and rooms feel well kept, with occasional minor issues like faulty lamps or a lingering odor. Food and drink options are plentiful in the immediate area. Expect a lively stay that suits travelers comfortable with nighttime activity.

Great hotel. Close proximity to the beach and lots of walkable food options. Only con is the loud pub at night however it’s pretty muffled from the room we were in and wasn’t loud too late.

Great place to stay with all the facilities and amenities required. Staff most helpful and close to all dining, shopping and transport. $30 for secure parting was a little rich but generally high-class accommodation.

Was a great stay, I wasn’t super happy about paying extra for parking, but than thought about it and was a fair option for guests that didn’t have a car that you pay for what you use.

Lovely big room. Nice and clean. Lived the boutique style hotel. Great location and lots of bars within hotel. The website did refer to being noisy with live music Friday and Saturdays but we were there on a Thursday and it was very noisy in the room from live music below. It did stop about 11pm. It was also noisy in the morning due to lack of secure windows and the traffic outside

Amazing property and location. This hotel has that old mansion charm, very unique. It’s a big property with a patio bar, pub, restaurant, liquor store. The patio and bar get very busy, so the music and voices might not be for every traveler. Didn’t bother us much, would certainly stay again.

Great location. Seems to have been recently renovated so rooms on good condition. Check in confusing and inevitably some noise from the street and bar downstairs but if you want to be in the centre of Coogee nightlife this is for you

We stayed in the sunrise sweet . Firstly reviews remarked on extremely friendly service checkin etc . I would not say extremely friendly but rather very competent. Room was great just as it’s pictured great size bed and pillows very comfortable. We stayed on a Monday/ Tuesday night, the noise from the hotel itself was minimal however outside street noise is loud .. garbage trucks randoms screaming etc , but it is in the heart of Coogee a vibrant and party area . Shared balcony is large but found privacy an issue with adjoining room . I rely on these reviews myself hence the details that you might not gather from the listing .

Staff was very accommodating and friendly during our late check-in. After booking our hotel, we received an email letting us know we will be right above a pub and suggested we upgrade to the boutique hotel on the back of the property. I didn’t think it would be a problem so I didn’t switch. Given the rainy, cool weather it was not a problem and we were fine. I could see that if the weather had been nicer, it would be too loud to sleep. The location of the hotel was very nice and convenient!

We stayed at both of their hotels. This one is a bit noisier. There’s a busy bar/restaurant on the premises & it can be quite noisy. We did get moved to the Boutique Hotel & it was wonderful (we did not move because of the noise). Their customer service was wonderful, although the desk does close over night. We had to call someone in to check in. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the sunrise sweet, the views and room were fantastic! Great location, close to the beach, food and shops. The hotel warned us there would be loud music from the bar so we appreciated knowing this in advance as ear plugs were a must. Still worth the view if you can sleep through the music (goes till 2:30am on Saturday).
