Hotel Bondi

Room and bathroom were dirty, not as advertised at all online, alot of maintenance issues with the building itself that clearly haven’t been fixed or acknowledged judging from other reviews too. I had the same issues which I didn’t look honestly until after my trip. e.g. windows banging against old frame all day that had warped due to heat or wear and tear over time, bathroom fan cannot be turned off, so constant buzzing next to your bedroom. Uneven flooring with hotspots due to I assume electrical cabling underneath, feel like you’re gonna fall through the hallway floors with uneven squeaky wood covered by dirty carpet to mask it, lifts make scraping noises constantly. Walls are paper thin, so can hear your neighbours as if they were in your room even in the day time. Pub downstairs is decent for the price, but if you’re staying at the hotel itself. Pick anywhere else. Place is a dump honestly that clearly lives off its location more than its service and accommodation. The money is made downstairs along with the pokies machines clearly so there’s no incentive to fix the hotel itself. Don’t give this place your money. Outside noise can be understood to a degree, as you’re given earplugs for your stay which should be warning enough to leave, but you’ll be annoyed with the noises internally more than outside on the strip. That’s if you can get past the dirty bathroom and stained towel upon your arrival.

A basic hotel which could do with some upgrades and a good clean. The room was small with two single beds but the bathroom was spacious which was pleasing and the shower was great. It was most annoying that I paid over $100 more for my room …
