What guests think

Travellers describe The Blue Hotel Bondi as a modern, mostly self-service hotel offering comfortable beds and stylish rooms, but minimal on-site staff presence and occasional access or check-in issues that can be frustrating.

Location is widely praised for easy walking to Bondi Beach, shops, and restaurants, though several mention street or nightlife noise. Rooms vary from compact to spacious, bathrooms are often small, and Wi-Fi is frequently slow or unreliable. Cleanliness is generally solid but inconsistent, with a few reports of cobwebs or insects and gaps in housekeeping. Best for independent travelers who prioritize being out and about over on-site amenities.

The Blue has very limited services. Checked in via a code. I only saw someone at the desk twice in 5 days, basically no staff at all. The lift is extremely slow. They only offer weekly housekeeping. You get your towels and toiletries from numbered lockers in each floor. The internet is not fast, but usable. The main benefit of the hotel is the location: it's fantastic, 5 minutes away from Bondi Beach and you have restaurants and shops everywhere. If we wanted to come to the area again and this was an option, we might stay here again, but keeping in mind the DIY experience.

Family of 5 for an overnight stay. Good value, great location. Very comfy bed and the kids loved the bunk setup. Unfortunately our coffee machine didn't work, which really bothered hubby and we didn't realise there was a machine in the lobby until we checked out (which is our fault). Plus plenty of cafes on the doorstep!

Check in process was stressful, details were supposed to be given 24 hours in advance, I had to chase this up at the airport. On arrival check in code for door access was incorrectly given. Had to wait outside the door to contact and be given another code. Inconvenient when you are jet lagged and travelled for over 22 hours. Dead cockroach outside front door on arrival and cob webs in corners of the room. Disappointed.

Room was clean and welcoming - once you got past the self check-in. Walkable, walkable and walkable - if you’re out and enjoying Bondi it’s your pitstop.

On the photos, they show you a room with balcony and in reality the illusive balcony doesn’t exist and you get a room with no privacy at all. The whole street could see the inside of the room, even when laying on the bed. So,you have to chose between a very dark room with no windows or have the entire street stare at you. The in the 3 days we stayed, the room wasn’t cleaned once. The cleaners were not so prompt during our stay and were right at our door at 10am for checkout. In terms of value for money, definitely not worth it.

I enjoyed my stay at Blue Hotel Bondi very much. I arrived early in the morning and the staff was happy to watch my luggage for me while my room got prepared. The location is also AMAZING, so close to the beach and a ton of delicious restaurants nearby. I personally enjoyed the self-service aspect of the hotel and having access to additional coffee, towels, etc. The only con would be your door leads directly outside, which did get loud on a particularly windy night. Regardless, I would stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers!

A very neat and compact little room with a very comfortable king size bed, kitchenette and big tv. Ten minutes walk from Bondi Beach and you can get to Bondi with a train to Bondi Junction then a bus to the beach. Room was neat and clean, location a little noisy but that's the price you pay for being in the centre of it all

A localização do hotel é boa, dentro de Bondi Beach. O fato de não possuir recepção prejudica um pouco na chegada, pois o hóspede tem que se habituar aos procedimentos self service. O ponto fraco foi a internet: caía sempre no nosso quarto, o que dificultou várias atividades que planejáramos.

This hotel was wonderful and affordable. Loved the aesthetic of the room and the hotel. As a younger couple it was no problem but can get a bit noisy at night with all the surrounding night life but also perfect in that way if you are trying to get out and have some fun and want a close place to stay. Would definitely stay here again.

The worst customer service I have experienced - avoid. Arrived late at night - no reception, could not get in touch with anybody. Ended up having to find an alternate hotel at 1am and left out of pocket. Can't reccomend Hotel Ravesis enough who reopened their reception so we could have somewhere to sleep after 28 hours of travelling, if you are looking in the area Hotel Ravesis is the one to book!
