What guests think

At The Lurline Randwick, travellers praise the excellent location across from the light rail and near hospitals, UNSW, shops and beaches, along with the building’s heritage charm and the usefulness of shared guest facilities.

Rooms are generally comfortable and stylish, though bathrooms are often very small and several guests report noise from traffic, courtyard areas or thin walls. Cleanliness is frequently rated highly, while service is friendly and welcoming overall, with some inconsistencies around late-evening support, housekeeping follow-through and maintenance requests. Practicalities include limited or tight parking, many stairs and no lift, and no on-site breakfast (nearby cafes are popular alternatives). A practical, characterful base rather than a full-service hotel.

Small room, with tiny bathroom, felt very squished with three people. Courtyard room requires walking outside, whoch would have been fine except it was pouring with rain. No shelter, slippery tiles and tiled steps to reach room. Unable to pre-book parking until morning of arrival, then to be told there is none available. While the property looks lovely and is presented well, overall we paid a lot of money for its location and nothing else.

Very pleasant overall, welcoming staff and systems. If stairs poses an issue for any member of your party these will be problematic. Although daily service was offered on two occasions we had to request this be done when we returned after 4 pm, unsure when services were to be carried out.

We have stayed here several times- the price is good, the location is excellent- with the light rail only across the road- so easy to access the city cheaply, rather than driving in. There is a small shopping centre up the road a short walk, with Harris Farm, Woolies and quite a few smaller shops. The location is a big win. The rooms are lovely- always clean and comfy with everything you need to stay. My only ever so slight gripe with the rooms is the bathrooms are very small...really small shower spaces, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Parking is limited, but there is plenty of street parking around, but they do have time limits on them (overnight you are good until 9am). There is a gorgeous courtyard with guest access only, which is a really lovely space to sit and relax. Be careful of some of the access steps- I have contacted the motel to let them know...they are different depths, so you must navigate them slowly. Reception staff are friendly and welcoming. Cannot fault them making a smooth check in/check out process. Too small issues for me (the showers and the stairs), but as I said- not a deal breaker for us- we'll be back at some stage I hope!

Property had excellent location for our needs, access to UNSW. However, the property looked much better online than in person, and was not particularly good value for money. Some unexpected surprises - no elevator, AC was not running in our room on arrival on a hot day, bathroom fan super noisy and switches on with light. Positive points were location - close to UNSW, shops, transport - and that it had good sound insulation - quiet rooms despite being on a busy intersection.

This was a very comfortable stay with a hike balance of hotel amenities and extras that made it feel like a home away from home. I was pleasantly surprised with access to full kitchen and washer and dryer, extra bathroom to use for shower if needed. Greta location at the end of the L2 line at Randwick that effortlessly takes you into Circular Quay downtown Sydney. Transportation is very inexpensive and easy to navigate. Hotel location is also a short bus ride away to both Coogee Beach and the popular Bondi Junction. Highly recommend!

The exteria of the hotel is very beautiful. Everything inside the building is stylish and well designed. The beds were very comfortable, great hot water and pressure in the shower. Location is fantastic with easy access to the city via the light rail. The only downside is that the parking is very limited and the spaces quite tight.

The property being a historical building for absolutely gorgeous, but in staying that, the services within the room were dated, low pressure with hot water and took a while for it get hot once turned on. Rooms were on the small side, on the main road, which is handy, with the downside of the noise from traffic and road works. Rooms are not acoustically built.

Nice old property. Room nice. Big enough. Bathroom big enough. Beds comfortable enough. Good location, central. Easy carpark. However, we had room 12. The front room next to the door. Barely slept 1hr that night..... very noisy next to the main front door. Street really noisy. Unfortunately put a pretty big dampner on the weekend.

Very nice property, clean and good amenities. The only qualm I had was my room had a door that backed straight onto the street, which would've been fine if it was soundproofed but people that walked past literally sounded like they were in my room. Other than the noise, no complaints, everything was excellent. Cheers!

The building has a lovely feel to is due to its age however, the bathroom in our room was very small and challenging to have a shower. Overall a lovely visit at The Lurline.

After a very long flight I was a little disappointed with my room which had no view and was a studio basement room. I was then put into a heritgae room which was lovely, but the sounds of the drainage was bad at night and early am. i then moved into a room on the courtyard higher floor. It was cosy, comfy, super clean and the staff did every thing they could to ensure I was happy. I loved my stay thereafter and was impressed with the care they gave me. The location was super easy to get anywhere.

I was given the ambulant room for some reason even though I am not in a wheelchair. The bathroom had a terrible smell about it. There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room - you had to go to a common kitchen. Yuk. The bed was comfortable. The room had no outlook- the only window was opaque because it fronted the side street where people walked by. Very claustrophobic. Also lots of stairs and no help with bags early in the morning if you needed it.
