Hotel berhampiran Kokoda Memorial Park, Sydney

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.

Everything was great, the lady who checked me in was very efficient. The only thing was there wasn't any coffee in the the room but thats ok. Parking isn't guarranteed, which could be a worry. You could check in, then go out on business then come back in the evening and not have a parking spot if the hotel was full, even though you pay up front in advance. That could be annoying at the end of a long day. But otherwise all was good and will stay again.

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.

Noisy, plain, and tired. Luxury? I've found more luxury in rural South Australia than here. Firstly my room was noisy - Really noisy - mainly from car noise from the Eastern Distributor which runs right in front of it. Clearly this is a known issue as they provide earplugs with a little apology (see pic). The fittings are old, the light switches, the bedside clock / radio. There is not a single USB charging port anywhere that I could find. There was a random cheap Bunnings power board hanging out underneath the bedside table. The shower head was loose and sprayed water everywhere while having a shower. I asked for it to be fixed, which it was by the time I returned, but do you think they replaced the saturated bath matt which I had to use to mop up the water? No, of course they didnt. Older people, be warned. The shampoo/conditioner provided have such fine writing that anyone needing more than +1 reading glasses need to find them to figure out which is which- ideally before stepping in the shower. And then need to find them again to figure out how to peel off the completely unnecessary silver seal ... The bed barley fitted between the wall and it was a squeeze to get in the LHS. No late night food nor drink options in or near the hotel. There are a few breakfast options. Probably my own fault for not checking that out.

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.

I would highly recommend this Hotel - I have to travel to Sydney regularly for Business and its location near Central Station makes it an ideal hub. The staff are friendly and the management especially -Nick Thapa are responsive to any needs or concerns. Loved my stay and also enjoyed using Trip.com for the first time to book my stay.

If you’re looking for a shiny corporate hotel then don’t book this. If you’re looking for a unique hotel with character then this is the place for you. It’s in a beautiful location and large characterful rooms. We had a room with a large balcony over looking a park.

Great location in vibrant Randwick with nearby shops, restaurants, supermarkets; especially being in The Spot area with its own collection of interesting cafes, little bars and The Ritz cinema. Close to buses and the light rail that takes you to the Sydney CBD via Central Railway station. Also buses or walk down to Coogee Beach with its holiday atmosphere and attractions. Booked small double room. Comfortable bed, small desk with chair, cupboard for clothes with small fridge, wall-mounted TV facing bed, kettle with instant coffee, black tea and green jasmine tea bags. Small bathroom with shower, shampoo, conditioner, soap, decent towels. Building open and staffed 8 am to 8 pm, otherwise access using your room card. Hotel clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Kitchen and dining area downstairs for guests to use. Free wi-fi and allowed late checkout for booking directly with hotel. Placement of my room on ground floor facing back of next door pub was less pleasant due to car park view and noise from air conditioning compressors and other machinery happening outside (going through the night and not that good for a light sleeper). There was a particularly annoying rattling machine noise outside that would start and stop. Next time I would see if I could stay in a room towards back of the building and upper floor. Overall small but comfortable room for the reasonable price I paid. Was fine if using the room mostly only at night to sleep (larger rooms are available if you intend to spend more time in your room). Excellent location and friendly staff.

I stayed for 4 nights here, but I don’t get any bed making or cleaning the room, Only get new towel and change the bin bag, For Shampoo and Shower gel or tissue paper ,dish washer liquid, I need to ask from reservation desk by myself, i don’t know it’s normal here or the cleaning staff lady is very lazy or ignore it. I hear the siren sound all night, the soundproofing is poor. I suggest to use earplugs when you sleep, The good point of this hotel is location which is next to metro. And the reception staff is helpful.

We had an amazing stay at Meriton Suites Bondi Junction! We arrived early and the staff were kind enough to allow us an early check in. Room is extremely spacious and kitchen is well-stocked. Location is amazing as you’re right about Bondi Junction station, with easy access to public transport and minutes away from the CBD. Highly recommend this place and look forward to returning in the future!
