What guests think

Reviews of ODYSSEY APOLLO BAY highlight a convenient beachfront-adjacent location with easy walking access to shops and eateries, generally basic rooms (some refreshed), mixed cleanliness, limited on-site parking, and recurring maintenance issues in certain rooms.

Several mention pleasant bay views and interiors that feel more updated than the dated exterior suggests. Communication can be inconsistent, with limited reception presence and language barriers, yet some guests report friendly, helpful staff and straightforward check-in. Overall, expect a straightforward stay best suited to short stopovers.

Property was clean. Staff on duty did not speak English but used his mobile phone to translate. Eating places were close by. Parking is limited by the size of vehicles, but you can park on road as well.

We stayed 1 night and it was fine The beach is across the main road and nearby places to dine and do some shopping which we didn't do. If I had to stay for a longer term then I would look for more green sournding area in the town. It is more like an apartments building with two floors and a bit uneasy steps which might be difficult for an elderly people. Other then that it was fine for the short term we have stayed.

While it doesn't look like much from the outside, inside the room was nice and the bathroom was clean and newish. The only downside is the rooms are up a flight of stairs, so it can be s bit difficult to drag heavy luggage up

We had 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms with a connecting door. Very nice beds and bathrooms. Unfortunately in one bathroom the window could not be closed and it was super cold (July). Had to use the second bathroom. At check in there was only one staff member who couldn't speak English at all. No staff at check out. The water kettle was dirty. Overall a pleasant stay but could have been better.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, upon driving up to the hotel, it looked old and dated, however once inside it’s had a great refurbishment , it’s is run by a Chinese manager, who cannot speak much English but was ok using google translate and they do not give hand towels, and air con wasn’t working. But for the price paid, was happy with what we got, local to small town with shops and restaurants.

It doesn't carry a high star rating but you get what you pay for. It is in a good location - I'll give it that but if you are looking for polished, modern, spic and span accommodation with all the mod cons and conveniences in your room, well you'll need to spend more and not stay here. Let's just say the rooms are functional but pretty basic.

The property is badly managed - damaged bathroom door and overall cleanliness is beyond terrible. There were grass and dirt on the carpet when we arrived. Room was so dirty that we started having allergic reaction. I won’t recommend this place.

The day I checked in was 34C and the AC in the room was not working. The manager said the HVAC was still set for heat and a technician would have to come over to reset but he was not available. I was told all rooms were the same but when we asked the other guests their AC was working? No compensation was offered?
