Hotel di Coogee

Arrived end of school hols Anzac long weekend. The staff could not have been more helpful and lovely. I too have issues booking thru G'Day so will be booking directly next time. The site we had 133 was terrific for our large caravan, however a family camping next door claimed part of our space as they were spread out with big vehicle big annex lots of kids. Kids bouncing large inflated ball against our caravan and on roof. Minor annoyance and shows how times have changed. The pull ring tabs, hair ties, broken discarded small bits from a camp were everywhere after they left at the end of the school holidays. I really do not know how the ground staff cope. One rubbish bin was full to overflowing yet 60 feet away near the ablutions, was a large nearly empty blue bin. I always enjoy staying here, but will try to miss the school holidays next time.

I have stayed at the hotel over the past 15 years and it has gradually become a little run down here and there but the worst change is the service, nobody has a smile or greets you as a guest, your just another inconvenience for them. I stayed in a ”Deluxe” King room last week and the Bathroom was dirty and the Shower over Bath is a disgrace (see photo). I don't think I'll be staying again until some marked improvements have been made.

Bestest Chili mussels and grilled lamb chops I’ve had in a million years! You gotta try it, it’s full flavoured, filling and you feel freo with every bite. The mussel sauce is rich in a tomato based broth, and the lamb brilliantly grilled vegetables, you get that charred taste on the fat of lamb, amazing!

I was very disappointed with the service. We arrived on 5th and the 6th was a public holiday - we were informed that they would not service the apartment on a public holiday - I went to suggest that we should have been compensated as we were not informed. The next day our room was not made up when we came back at 5pm. On contacting reception they sent the cleaners whose excuse was that the do not disturb sign was on but we did not use the sign. At nearly $300 per night I feel that the service should be a lot better

We stayed for three weeks and plan to do so again. The accommodation was fairly spacious although lacking a little in drawer space. The kitchen was quite well equipped, but no dishwasher. The front desk is very helpful if there is something you need. Our apartment was cleaned most days, but not all. We never did figure out the schedule. But service was certainly more than adequate. We had a ground floor room (Number 8) with a nice little patio. The air conditioning worked perfectly and the room was very quiet. Incredibly convenient for the ferry to the CBD, to a Good Grocer supermarket that could provide everything you could possibly want to eat or drink and to several restaurants, cafes and other retail stores. Altogether a fabulous place for a long stay.

Loved this hotel. I was a little nervous about some of the review/descriptions describing it as shipping containers -- but once you are there, it just feels like any normal hotel. The rooms are compact, but totally sufficient. The design is great, beds are super comfortable, AC worked well, bathroom was really nice. And the service was fantastic. It's a boutique hotel and you really felt the personal touch. They warmly greeted us on arrival, were happy to store our bags, gave all kinds of great advice, etc. On the morning of our check-out, we had to get an early start and hit the road at 7am (to catch the 7:30 ferry to Rottnest Island). Breakfast starts at 7am, so when we asked the night before if we could get some kind of to-go box, the lady at the front desk said she would just arrive a little early in the morning and have everything ready at 6:45 so we could eat something before we left the hotel. Amazing! They also let us just leave our suitcases in our room and said they would bring them down and store them at the front desk. We really felt like they actually cared about us and were willing to do whatever to make our stay great. Highly recommend!

Overall was a good experience and service.

I am giving this hotel an average rating because there are some very good points about the hotel. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The good: Great location, spacious rooms, massive spa bath fits two people easily. Comfy beds. 2 TV's. 2 Air con units. Very quiet despite being next to the freeway. Well fitted out with everything you need. Good amenities on site eg heated pool, sauna, secure parking. The bad: First up got double charged for my room as I had already paid through Booking.com. Secondly after about 1 hour the main aircon which is basically in the middle of the room started leaking water all over the floor, we put a rubbish bucket under it and called the management. Some guy came up and told us that there was nothing he could do because it was a Saturday and the hotel was fully booked. He admitted that it was a known problem. Unfortunately we had to put up with it and the leak changed ends a couple of times and thwarted our attempts to catch all the water. Also the level of cleanliness leaved a lot to be desired. This is not a 4 star hotel. There were crumbs all over the stove top from the previous tenants, rips in the curtains and some stains on the furniture, and the general condition of fixtures was poor for example the silicon around the basin in the bathroom was loose and falling out. General cleanliness was also poor. Probably would not stay again.

Reception staff were friendly and helpful.The rooms were very clean. Nice location.Vehicle parked in locked gate carpark which is comforting. Close walk to eateries. I did not comment on value as my company picked up the tab.

Excellent location and with historical significance. Nice touch to provide complimentary minibar drinks and snacks. Unfortunately, there were inconveniences experienced. First, light bulb to entrance door was spoil. Next day, fridge was not working. Third day, wifi was not working.
