    I fall asleep with noise so I was very happy with the pub attached but not everyone would cope with the DJ on a Saturday night.

    Lovely staff and location by the beach. We stayed for our wedding and they were very sweet and encouraging.

    No night porter had to go in back way not ideal with bins etc … no breakfast offered … walls between rooms very thin

    The room was nice it was very clean and tastefully decorated. The staff member who checked us in was very friendly. It was very well located near the beach and our family who live close by .

    Everything was fine. Except maybe - the lift didn’t go to the top floor. 😜

    Location by the ocean. Great view. Small grocery shop nearby. Great restaurant in the hotel and one close to the beach. Very helpful Manager (the young man who helped me with my small complaint about the non see through windows in a room I had stayed in a few days before).

    The windows were ‘whited out’ so I couldn’t see out. The sliding door to the bathroom was a bit stiff and dodgy. The towels were hung on hooks and not folded. Looked A bit like they were used ones. They weren’t but it looked odd.

    Lovely clean rooms and comfortable beds. Nice pictures on the walls too. A staff member carried my bag up the stairs to my room. My room was quiet despite a huge crowd downstairs watching a sports match.

    It is definitely quite noisy as clearly stated in the hotel description. The hotel pub is vibrant, you can loudly hear people chatting and having fun. It can be annoying if you spend much time in the room. It wasn’t our case, after 10 when we got back from dinner it was lovely quiet. They find a bit uncomfortable that they are not present in the service desk and you have to wait until the person is called by other staff members at the bar. Additionally, they were having a private event the day of our check out so we couldn’t arrange a late check out and it was a bit annoying that we had to pick up our bags at a specific time restricting our last day plans because nobody would be there after 2pm.

    The room was beautiful, we had ocean view. Spacious, clean, and nicely decorated with a cute beach vibe.

    I'd never stayed in this area of Sydney and loved it! We just stayed for one night after our flight - the bed was massive and comfortable, the decor was lovely and everything was spotless. Great restaurant and bar downstairs too! Thanks Team Clovelly
