The Baxley Bondi

I would highly recommend The Bailey Bondi and will book again. Great location, clean well kept and helpful, friendly staff.

Street parking is a nightmare... virtually impossible to find any available parking with no limits. Everything is 2hr...

Loved it. Not the first stay - and won’t be our last.

I hate to say this as the location is 10/10 and the staff are so lovely. Unfortunately the room I stayed in was quite dirty…I arrived after hours and was only there to sleep so did not ask to be moved therefore they didn’t have a chance to rectify the issue which I take responsibility for. However I’m not sure if any other rooms would’ve been much better as the main issue was the carpet which needs to be replaced. Just filthy and stained and the whole room smelled like dirty/damp carpet. Hallway carpet - not any better. Bring sandals or slippers. There was also quite a bit of dust in the room/around the headboard and just generally a clear lack of attention to detail in regards to cleanliness. I understand this isn’t luxury accommodation but for almost $200 a night you’d expect better in terms of hygiene and presentation. The bed was comfortable, shared areas were fine and it was quite handy to have a little kitchenette available. There is minimal soundproofing which wasn’t an issue for me personally but if you’re a light sleeper you may need earplugs or white noise. I could see myself having loved this place in my younger backpacking days but unfortunately I feel a bit let down - I wish I had spent a tiny bit more for a nicer place.

Overall a good stay
