Hotel berhampiran Dharawal Resting Place track, Sydney

Excellent attention to detail! I am very fussy where i stay when travelling being in the Tourism Industry and managing hotels and resorts for over a decade, and i was not disappointed with my recent stay at St Marks at Randwick. Rarely you will find an accommodation business that ticks every box with a guests stay and i was happy to find that St Marks did exactly that! Congratulations to the team for making my stay an excellent one and i shall be choosing this hotel whenever I am in Sydney.

We stayed here for 3 nights on our visit to Sydney for the NYE celebrations. Hotel is very easy to access with the L2 light rail directly opposite the hotel taking you right in to the CBD. But because it’s a bit further out in Randwick, the price is much more affordable, especially on NYE! Even on NYE we had not trouble getting in and out of the CBD and was very easy. Also not far from the airport so an Uber was pretty cheap for a flight home. Our room was the first one as you enter the hotel. There is no soundproofing, so we heard everyone coming and going and conversations in reception. We could also hear the toilet being flushed above and even the pedestrian crossing beep outside. Therefore, I would definitely request a room at the rear. Apart from the noise, everything else was good. The room was spacious for 3 adults, with comfy beds and decent shower. Tea/coffee and fridge, iron and hairdryer in room. Large TV and good WiFi. There’s a communal kitchen with laundry facilities if you need it and a lovely courtyard area for chilling out. We had a daily room service and towels changed each day. Location is good with plenty of choice for eating locally and 15-20 min walk to Coogee beach. I actually walked from the hotel to Coogee and then on the coastal path to Bondi and back, which was excellent. We would stay again, but not in the same room due to the noise.

Stayed at the Crowne recently for a couple of conferences and is what I have come to expect from Crowne Hotels. The first time was a corner room on 6 that had been fully renovated. Room was big and spacious, bed was comfortable as and the bathroom was small but modern. Second stay was a normal room on 4 that had not been refreshed. Bathroom was a little dated and shower head wasn’t the best. But again the room was a good size and the bed comfortable! On-site breakfast was a full buffet and gave a full range and fresh coffee! Would stay again.

Beautiful building, great location to Randwick racecourse. Rooms were clean and tidy. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Great communication leading up to stay as well. Undercover parking available but our car wouldn’t fit (too high) so they accommodated us by allowing us to park in the driveway. Easy to access after hours. Comfortable bed. No plug in the bathroom at all, take an extension cord with you if you plan on staying here and you use an electric shaver, there’s a mirror in the room that you can to use for hair straightener etc. Some rooms have private bathrooms for extra money so be sure to check before booking - we had a private bathroom. Clothes hanger was directly above the tea/coffee/kettle so hanging a dress and a suit was awkward if you plan on using tea/coffee area. Can hear other guests moving around during the night, especially as our room was next to the shared bathroom, hubby woke up the first night to someone throwing up! It gets very noisy during the night, walls are thin. Hot water in our bathroom took ages to warm up, a lot of wasted water. Tea and coffee provided but I’m not an instant coffee drinker so if Coffex instant coffee isn’t to your taste then byo. The exhaust fan in our bathroom wasn’t working so the tiny bathroom got steamy very quickly so had to open the window. The shower itself is super small as well. But all toiletries (shampoo conditioner and body wash) provided. If you are looking for somewhere to stay to go to the races then this place is very suitable. We walked which took 20 minutes at a casual pace but you could cross the road and jump on the light rail up to the next station if you didn’t want to walk.

I resist writing reviews but had to make an exception. I have stayed in Moxy’s in New York and loved them. I walked there quicker than getting out of the car park station. Stepped into the lobby and it reminded me how dated everything else is. I used the Hotel as work base and it worked perfectly with plenty of private spaces to make calls etc. I didn’t use the meeting rooms but probably would next time. Another highlight was discovering the very close Mascot village, with cool cafes, cheap eats and apparently one of Sydney’s best banh mi’s (Hong Ha) where I joined the queue. At last I have a cool Sydney Airport stay.

Friendly staff. All functioning amenities. Good budget stay if you want a convenient location with public transport options right by the beach. Weekends can be a little noisy but the backyard is an amazing place to chill out.

Very convenient to airport. There are a couple fast food places within walking distance. Be aware that there is a $12 charge for the shuttle bus and it needs to be booked in advance.

Good location for airport travellers but not so good for dining opportunities away from the hotel. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom also roomy and nicely appointed, although we did not like the shower over the bath. The biggest negative was room service margarita pizza we ordered. It came within 20 minutes but was dry, tough, overcooked and not at all appetising. A big fail.
