Rating & Review Keseluruhan Avoca Randwick by Sydney Lodges

I good place to have a room just to sleep for the night, nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable

The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Beds were not comfortable. Smell of smoke in the room. The location is very good.

Generally nice. Room a bit small and shower very small in a very bug bathroom

This was our second stay and it was as good as the first. Clean, comfortable beds, good area.

Had everything I needed. It’s compact but perfect for a short stay. Very clean. Felt safe.

The property was well cared for and well located. Only drawback is that it was on a busy street with a traffic light nearby, so the noise through the night was a bit loud

My first experience keyless and it was seamless. Everything I needed for one night.

Good location, clean and good phone support.

Room was located opposite the kitchen/laundry/guest entry/stairs to the first floor - it was like trying to sleep in Flinders St Station

I liked that the rooms were very homey and comfortable

Great location nearby light rail to head to the SCG

Nice newly renovated.

Friendly and good location

Well presented property with a friendly and professional receptionist

Very friendly and helpful staff. Ideally located beside the light rail and Randwick high street. Excellent restaurants around the corner in The Spot. Staff very helpful and accommodating during check in. Room was spotless and well equipped. Would stay again.

Room smell like cigarettes

Our room was very cosy, quiet and comfortable. Reception staff were very courteous and friendly, making check in easy. The location is very convenient to public transport, hospitals and Coogee beach and easy walking distance to great dining options. We will definitely be back.

I rang to confirm where to park and was told there was no parking - when u pressed saying the website said parking was available they then agreed that there was limited parking. Then arriving at the hotel I asked again (they told me I had to check in first) they told me again there is no parking then again pressed that the website says it is free and they again said it was limited. This website should be uodates to no carparking or very limited parking at another location. Otherwise the staff were nice enough and the bed was super comfortable.

Pros: 1. Avoca Lodge served its purpose as a comfortable place to stay. It was clean and tidy and the bed and pillows were pretty comfortable. 2. There is a communal area for cooking and laundry which is cool and was relatively clean. 3. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance. Cons: 1. The mini fridge was so small they may as well not bother to have one - a dinner plate doesn’t even fit in it. 2. I checked in just before 4, and although it seemed smooth, my door wouldn’t unlock. The receptionist left the property just before 4 and so it took about 15 minutes of phone calls back and forth to have it sorted which was annoying. It would have been good if the receptionist stayed on site for an extra few minutes to make sure I could actually get in instead of run out before I could even get upstairs to the door. All the room doors are touch key entry which seems fancy, but sometimes an actual key is better. 3. Again the fridge in the common area was small (like a bar fridge) and was packed with stuff so not really useful. Would have been better to have a proper sized fridge for the common area Otherwise it was a comfortable, clean, and affordable place to stay for a short time in a great location.
