Hot water wasn’t available for most of day
Great location
A well located option with a bit of character. Not a good place to stay if you have suitcases, and you can hear people in the hallways and in other rooms. But we loved the vibe of this option and would stay again.
The Dive hotel is an older facility that has certain charm (e.g. high ceilings and tin ceiling) and check in was simple, with clear instructions.
But the bathroom in particular needed attention. The shower stall had mold in the grout (needed to be bleached and scrubbed) and it was clear that things had been pulled off the walls without repair or repainting.
At first we were pleased with the communal dining area as we were leaving very early and thought we could have a simple breakfast. But our coffee and cereal were ruined by spoiled milk in the refrigerator. Had we known the night before that the milk was spoiled we could have picked up some from a dairy.
The Dive hotel is inexpensive, but not necessarily a great bargain.
Not so good, a tired and tatty hotel. No staff on the premises. Described as upmarket 4 star hotel, certainly not this.

OK option if you don't need too much comfort
Funky old building across the street from the beach in Coogee. We chose this hotel specifically to be near friends who live in the neighborhood. The room (#19) was adequately comfortable and large. All communication with the owner/operator was done via email/text message. There is a kitchen, but no real provided services at the hotel other than maybe coffee or tea. We did stay at this property about 10 years ago, and stayed here again because we knew it and because it was a little less expensive that other nearby hotels. However, I feel that it was expensive for the services we received, the overall quality of the stay and the rundown condition of the building.

This is an old property that is right across thecstreet from the beach. It offers a nice comfortable room and bed. Nothing else. Never saw a staff person. Room keys are in lock boxes.

I loved the location. It felt weird when we arrived as the doors were locked but we sent a message and had a drink at a local bar then got into our room still early .
The property is needing some maintenance, you need to let consumers know about the narrow staircase as this isn’t conducive to all patrons. It is over priced.

fantastic location, very clean and everything you want in a hotel. Was no issues for me but if you have a heavy suitcase and are not particularly mobile the stairs are very narrow and steep and took a bit lifting to get our bags up there.
Would 100% stay again
Good location on the beach. Staff were quick to respond to messages. Parking is a pain as it’s quite a busy area. Hotel rooms are very basic, lots of mould in the bathroom/showers, but the bed was clean. I wouldn’t stay again but for 1 night it was ok.
Amazing location. Great sized rooms with fab view. Dated interior.

Such nice folks. They even let us keep our bags on site behind the counter after checkout the day of our departure so that we could enjoy the beach before our friend picked us up at 5. Would have been a massive bummer to haul our luggage everywhere. Because of them we got to head south on the coastal trail and check out more of the fauna.
