Boasting seaviews, all rooms at Little Coogee Hotel include a refrigerator, flat-screen TV. Some feature a kitchenette with a microwave. All private rooms ( queen or twin ) or shared dorm rooms include an en-suite bathroom with a shower/toilet and air conditioning / heating, Newly refurbished, small room but with complete amenities including clothes hangers, ironing board, refrigerator, kettle, and hair dryer. Located near bus stops so it’s easy to commute to the city. Many nice cafes to choose from along the same street. Reception area is not exactly big enough to be called a lobby, but there’s a spacious common area and balcony plus a kitchen if you want to cook. Very nice staff. I was amazed for a small hotel that they have this 5-star touch of stamping a new roll of toilet paper upon check-in.

Awake to free breakfast each morning at Tequila Sunrise Potts Point. This hostel is just 2 minutes’ walk from Kings Cross Station and several bars, clubs and restaurants.

Sydney Central Hostel is 10 minutes’ walk from the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens. It is 15 minutes’ by train to Sydney Opera House and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Bondi Beach is a 20-minute bus ride away. My stay was short but really good! I loved the staff and the terrace. I enjoyed a great view and the sunshine on the rooftop. The breakfast and dinner were a big plus, they totally saved me from cooking!
