Royal Hotel Randwick Reviews

This is a very nice old building, with decent rooms quite convenient to UNSW and Coogee Beach, so there is good hiking and swimming in the immediate neighbourhood. The staff is really fantastic, so kudos on that front for sure. The major issue was with the wifi, which was only available in the lobby -- but the lobby becomes a very popular bar in the afternoon, so working down there is not really possible due to the noise. Making sure the rooms have a good connection would go a long way!

Nice place for stay only not much things for breakfast in the morning

Excellent service

Great staff!

15 minutes walk to unsw and 20 minutes to coogee beach, very convenient. Lunch was delicious. I arrived at the hotel at nine o'clock, and the front desk was very considerate and checked me in in advance!

This accommodation can be said to have directly ruined the mood of traveling and watching Taylor's concert. It is the worst room I have ever stayed in. When booking a room, the last one was shown. My room was seriously inconsistent with other rooms of the same type and was very old. I stayed here for five days. Room number was 302, which was right next to the corner of the stairs. There were piles of changed quilt covers at the door. As soon as I entered the room, there was a strong musty smell mixed with the smell of freshly renovated paint. After staying there for a day, I found that the smell of sewers and public toilets filled the entire room. There are windows but they are sealed. Even if you turn on the air conditioning and ventilation all day long, it still won't help. It was very disgusting to have to endure this smell every day when I fell asleep. My sleep became very poor and I resisted going back to the hotel every day. There is a lot of mold in the cracks in the bathroom tiles. The dark room and the bad smell made it very unbearable for me to stay in the room. At noon on the fourth day, I told the lady at the front desk that the smell in the room was disgusting. The lady at the front desk said that she would ask a cleaner to come to the door that day, but in fact she did not! I require cleaning after twelve o'clock every day. But no cleaners ever came, which meant that no one came to clean or take away the trash for five days.

The room I booked was a double bed room. The room was small, the window was located relatively high, and the window door was locked. Standing on the bed, I looked out and saw the roof next to the window. Maybe it's because of the dark color of the carpet, but the room always feels damp, the filter at the kettle spout is dirty, and the hair dryer is very dusty. The room reminds me of the article "There are seven steps from door to window, and there are still seven steps from window to door." Since I had booked for four consecutive days and could not cancel, these four nights were particularly long. It's also possible that the location and type of my room were particularly bad, so the check-in experience was not good.

This time, I stayed in this hotel. The only thing I wasn't very satisfied with was that the hotel is on the second floor. There is a bar and dining room on the first floor, which was a bit noisy. Especially every Friday night, the bar is open until after 12 o'clock, which is a bit noisy. Of course, if you like bar culture, this is also a good option.

The size of the room was okay, but there was no elevator. My room was at the very back and there were several turns. It was a bit scary for the first time. My suitcase was heavy and it was difficult for a girl to move up to the second floor. The location of the hotel is good. Coles, chemist warehouse and L2 light rail are nearby and can easily reach the city.

The wine list is a bit small and the facilities are a bit old, but it's very close to the school and very convenient.

I stayed here temporarily when I started school. It's a good choice. It's very close to UNSW. Although it's called Royal, it's actually very ordinary. People in Randwick like to bring Royal to everything. Remember to choose a larger room, otherwise you'll suffer. Overall it's pretty good. It's okay to occasionally eat steak, fries or something in the evening on the first floor () Let’s make do, I think this is the best in this area (after all, other hotels don’t feel that good)

It’s a well-established hotel. The rooms are clean and the waiters are courteous. They take the initiative to help carry luggage to the room. It’s great 👍.

The room is overall very good, but the single bed is a bit too small

Small, bad, noisy, the suitcase can’t be opened
