    Rooms a little noisy, not terribly, but noticible at times and hot water very slow to come through in our ensuite. Plenty of it, just took a long while to get right.

    Room was comfortable, as were the beds. All a good size with all the facilities you need. Close to the Randwick tram to the CBD and plenty of free street parking.

    The guy on the front desk was so wonderful to me . I had lost some of my possessions on the train and he help me find how to fill out a report . He even knocked on our door before clocking off to check if we needed anything else . And I got my stuff back eventually!!!

    We really enjoyed our stay in the triple room it was a great size. For functionality perhaps a few more shelves in the bathrooms and an ottoman at the end of the bed to rest extra suitcase on.

    It was a modern refit in a period property and nicely designed too. The location was perfect for all amenities and not far from the city and beaches. The team were accommodating and friendly.

    This is only a minor thing, as our room was in a spot that meant we couldn't avoid this. The room we stayed in was right near the front of the house, so we heard everyone out in the foyer coming and going.

    The room was modern, clean and cozy. We appreciated the extras like the bar fridge and the tea and coffee. The bed was comfortable, and the tv was large; easy to see and use. The shower pressure was good and hot. The parking we reserved, and it was very handy and affordable, in a good location as well.

    I paid extra to have an ensuite room as I don’t feel comfortable about sharing a bathroom and toilets for the price.

    The receptionist was lovely, friendly and very helpful. The Alison was very nice, clean and in a good location.

    I was concerned when booking that not having a bathroom would be an issue however, I didn't need to wait to use the shower and there are multiple bathrooms on the floor.

    I loved the the property and the decor. It's very close to public transport and Circular Quay is a short 20 min tram ride. There was all day parking and the beach was a short drive as to get Bondi took about 15 mins in the car. The bed was super comfortable, reception staff were very helpful and went out of there way to make sure our stay was comfortable. There is a hairdryer available at the reception desk. I used the washing machine and dryer as we stayed for 4 nights and that was great. The kitchen available to use as well. The room was quite and the property was very clean and other people staying where friendly. It's a great place to stay close to the city to explore.

    Very comfortable stay south of Centennial Park.

    Everything is very nice, one thing that could be improved is the shower knobs: hot and cold water have separate knobs but the hot one gets burning hot very quickly, and it's kind of hard to regulate with the cold one (either super hot or gets cold very quickly). Lighting in the room was good with a big main light and one small light on the night table. However, a light directed to the sink/mirror area would be a big plus!

    The Alison Randwick is in a nice location near Randwick main street with many restaurants and shops, close to the south part of Centennial Park, and close to the university campus. The room is spacious, silent, and with a very comfortable bed. All appliances in the room are working perfectly and everything is very clean. Also the staff at the reception desk is very kind and helpful.

    On the main road and shared bathrooms. One of the staff were quite rude. It was around 8pm Sunday night, lady with short blonde hair. I was going to the front door to collect my Uber eats, I was staying on 2nd level. As I was walking down the stairs she shouted “are you Samantha” which I answered yes, and she said in a rude manner “you need to get your food, go to the door and get it”. Which I replied “yes that’s what I’m doing” and then she slammed her door. Wasn’t a very nice experience.

    Loved how modern and sleek it is with the plants also.

    I received about 8-10 emails. Bathroom had hair and water everywhere. It’s as if someone went and pulled all their hair out and stuck it on the wall and shower screen. Went to take a shower and someone had left half of Warragamba dam in there. Exaggeration but was puddles everywhere. Also heard everything that went on in the hallways from cleaners to people taking a shower or going to the toilet

    Easy booking. Very good instructions.

    some rooms are better than others. last time I stayed I had a room with a private toilet which was nice but it was right near the car park and kitchen and really noisy. upstairs rooms are better.

    it’s well appointed, clean and in a nice quiet suburban spot.
