    We booked one of the studio rooms and found on our first night that it was very noisy (noise coming from both within and outside the hotel), making it hard to sleep. There were people talking on the street outside and it felt as if they were in the room with us ... However, staff were really helpful in finding a more suitable room for us when we talked to them the next morning. The bathroom in the studio room was quite small but was functional

    The location was excellent - really close to Coogee beach, lots of shops nearby, and public transport right outside. Bed was nice and big and was really comfortbale. Staff were really friendly and helpful, particularly when we requested to change rooms due to noise levels.

    Hotel was very nice, but unfortunately we had the room in ground floor, window to the street on ground level, pretty noisy. Also above us was the hotel hall and we could hear walking from very early morning.

    Very nice place, shopping and eating opportunities very close, public transportation next to the hotel. Kitchen available and also laundry.

    It is a 40 min., each way, Lightrail ride to the Sydney Harbor area, and that was where most of our plans were. Based on my research leading up to the booking, I thought it would be about half that. One of us thought the beds were comfortable, but they were kind of hard for my liking. There is no elevator, and we were put in an upstairs room and had heavy luggage that we had to carry ourselves, up and down, the very steep and small stairs. The lighting in the room was terrible. We had to use our phone flashlights when looking for things in our suitcases. The overhead light is very dim. They have 2 very dim lamps, but there is only one outlet with 2 plugs in the room, so if you want to plug in an adapter to charge phones, watches, etc, you can only have one lamp plugged in.

    I liked the reasonable cost for a decent room. $20 AUD Uber ride to Bondi Beach from the hotel, so not bad at all. Lots of restaurants and some shopping all within walking distance. The Lightrail entrance is across the street, so very easy and inexpensive to get around. Very nice bathroom with a large shower.

    While the bed was serviced and changed as stated, towels changed every day, the bathroom itself was not cleaned on any day of the week we stayed, toilet, handbasin, shower or floor. We had a beautiful room with a balcony we enjoyed but downside we were located at the front of the hotel and traffic and sirens continued through the night. I suggest requesting a back location.

    Reception very customer friendly and location to the tram network excellent.

    DON'T BOOK if you need PARKING

    Parking is DIFFICULT. Do not book if you need your car close by. There's nowhere to drop off bags unless you stop in the middle of a busy side street. We had to park in the hospital and walk all our things over and it was inconvenient. We spent a lot of $ on hospital car parking for 3 days. We booked MONTHS in advance, asked multiple times and still could not secure a parking space at the property. There are approx 8 parks for the entire building. Not enough. Staff do not care about being accommodating re parking and were quite dismissive at each request for parking. We wouldn't stay here again for this reason. Bathroom was so tiny we could barely get into the shower. Not having a microwave in room is really annoying. There's plenty of space to add one.

    Comfy beds, linen. Location is perfect for supporting hospital visits. Room was super clean and serviced. Appreciated being provided a cot.

    This is our 4th time to stay in the Lurline Randwick. We love the colonial period building and the courtyard is relaxing. The room is big with a high ceiling. The location is handy, the light rail station is just across the road. Always enjoy our stay.

    The shower leaked water out of the doors so the bathroom floor got quite wet. The painting of the walls was only half finished so took away from the look of the room.

    The hotel was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. It was a very busy weekend but the staff were wonderful.

    Nothing, it was all good.

    My daughter and I stayed in the Randwick Lurline in a courtyard room. It was a stressful time as my daughter has a tumor in her leg that we were in Randwick to speak to a surgeon about. The Lurline was in the perfect location and the staff were lovely (especially the lovely lady at reception).

    The TV in one of the rooms would not keep the Wifi contact, and therefore wouldn't work a lot of the time.

    Fittings and room appearance were all excellent and high spec. Staff were extremely flexible and accommodating given our situation with our daughter in hospital, and not knowing how long we'd need to stay.

    It's not anything that I didn't like, just a suggestion for other travellers, bathroom tight, so if you're super tall or more on the larger scale, I'm not sure you'd be comfortable. Maybe it was just our room, not sure what the other bathrooms are like.

    We had the most fabulous stay. Just needed for 1 night. Bed was comfy, had all the necessary requirements. I was really happy with everything. Location awesome, right across from tram line to the city. Awesome for the entertainment quarter. Very happy and will be back.
