The Blue Hotel Bondi

Great location, only 5 min walk to Bondi Beach. Next door is a nice bakery for fresh coffee and croissants. Room was very spacious. I was surprised by the little kitchen, coffee/tea, fridge, ice cube machine. Really nice. Super comfy bed. Would recommend the stay!

The hotel was really clean, located near great eateries and walking distance from the beach. There wasn’t much noise but the owners provide earplugs just in case. Very spacious as well. They don’t provide dental kit though, have to pack your own or buy a small tub - there are a lot of pharmacies nearby.

Great location, room was spacious and nice. Bit noisy but that’s just comes with the area it’s in.

Funky decor, good facilities and obviously setup for entertaining small group of friends ( ice-making machine and wet bar!). My 91 year old mum was non-plussed by all of the ‘sensuous’ female photos. “Where is the Robert Mapplethorpe stuff?” she muses.

Stayed last night and a number of times in the past. I love the Blue. Great location - great rooms with a great vibe. It’s a bit quirky parking and getting to the room the first time - but then you realise what a great set up it is. The self service breakfast and chill out room is wonderful. Boulangerie and pizzas down stairs. Bars and restaurants and Harris Farm supermarkets just round the corner. Bikini bar just down the road as you walk to the best beach in the World. Please don’t go there so I’ll still be able to get a room in the future.

Helpful staff and short reply time from the WhatsApp chat. Highly recommend!

Fabulous customer service. Great location. Would recommend.

location close to Bondi Beach

Although this hotel is very conveniently located, just 5 minutes away from Bondi beach, I wouldn’t recommend staying there. We paid just over 1,000 Australian dollars for two nights, since it is a four star hotel; however what we got was far from the expected. During my stay I didn’t see anyone and the communication was done through WhatsApp. The check-in process was messy, they send you the information via email, the wifi was not accessible so I needed to connect on the internet of the bakery next door to be able to receive the check-in information. The room itself is spacious (We booked the King Suite room) but the room wasn’t too clean, the bed was not properly made, and the duvet was very dirty, the furniture was old and rugged. The internet in the room kept dropping, which was very inconvenient. There is no cleaning service unless you pay extra (and this information I only found out after reading reviews online). The checkout is at 10, which is too early, we had to pay extra 50 dollars to stay two more hours. Once again, when you pay 500 AUD a night, the expectations are those of a four star hotel, not what feels more like a hostel.
