Guest Reviews
- Chris (8/5): Very good catered for my needs and will diffentaly book again if needed - Easy to get to Step at the door to the room
- Belinda (10/5): Comfortable and close to everything -
- Maxim (10/5): -
- Wayne (8/5): - Value for money N/a
- Zoe (9/5): - Amazing location, just off the beach! We loved this.
Shared facilities are clean and comfortable, kitchen was always very clean.
Room is nice, TV and mini fridge. We weren’t able to store our luggage after checkout which was disappointing, quite slow responses from the property.
- KEINT (10/5): - 地点非常理想,超靠近海边,房间虽然小,床很舒服,但是胜在也蛮干净,厕所需要共用,不过该有的都有,管理员回复迅速,这点蛮喜欢,而且很愿意提供资讯与支持,最重要的是价钱非常优惠。 上下楼梯,拿着大行李会很吃力,因为有些窄
- Krystal (2/5): Bad - The location is good, but the facility is very dirty.
The room and the towel smells so bad. The staff did not even give me code , they said they sent it to email. But i check it multiple times they did not give me the code for the room.
I have to call them multiple times and wait for an hour before they call me to give me the pin. So stressful! Staff and the room
- Annika (8/5): -
- Ángeles (7/5): -
- Kylie (8/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): Fab location and affordable stay in Manly - The location was fantastic! I booked for almost 2 months but then realised I needed to leave a week earlier than planned. I gave them over 2 weeks notice of this (and on Booking.com when I booked I could have cancelled my whole trip up to the day before departure) but they would not refund me which I feel is unfair as I stayed so long and they had plenty of time to rebook the room. Disappointing attitude.
- Susanne (8/5): - Location is amazing, just a super short walk from the beach and about 5 mins to the corso. Also the place is very clean
- Ian (3/5): Had to sleep on lounge as couldn’t get into room. Was promised a full refund. - The location Not being able to get into the room
- bruce (9/5): -
- Marilyn (8/5): - Great value in excellent location No glasses or cups in room even though a fridge, sink & electric jug supplied
- Bjorn (7/5): - Läge löge läge. Prisvärt!
- Pina (10/5): The location is amazing - The facilities are excellent. U have everything u possibly need need.
- Gabriella (7/5): -
- Jody (8/5): - Close They had a kettle in my room but no cups and no coffee! Very odd!
- chantelle (9/5): -
- Meagan (1/5): My room was not the best, but there are works underway that should improve it . - The location is great, and they are in the middle of renovating the ground floor - the upper floors are mostly done. I had some issues with my room, which the reception staff (at the end of an SMS) addressed fairly quickly.
- Valentina (6/5): Confortable. - The kitchen was all right and clean. The location is excellent. The room to small, and old. It smelled musty.
- Meagan (1/5): Atrocious, awful, scary, full of anxiety, traumatic and WAY OVER PRICED - being addressed by managem - Getting the key out of the lock box at the front door. After that - NOTHING during my stay
Customer Service has said they are addressing the issues and asking Booking.com for a refund. We will see what happens - I am hopeful. Everything. Room, decor, staff helpfulness (or lack of). It was dirty. There was no hot water. My window did not lock - ground floor next to the front door. Window coverings were shade cloth, so could see straight in from street when light was on. Zero sound insulation. Aggressive guests.
The room was front of the building next to the front door. I heard every other guest enter and leave the building. There was supposed to be a quiet time from 10pm-6am. There was not. There was swearing and fighting and banging on the door when a regular guest had lost his keys.
The TV did not work. There was no wardrobe (just a towel rail with some coathangers on it). It definitely was undersized.
My window (remember it is ground floor, next to front door) did not close and definitely did not lock.
Then blind on the window was made of shade cloth, so as soon as I turned the light on you could see in the room from the street. Yes there was a vague hedge in front of it, but that really did nothing, and the mirrored glass was on the wrong side, so I could not see out, but when I walked out-side seeing in was just like watching a TV!
The full moon shone straight in my face. The reception staff that were available at the end of a text message finally responded and checked the 'security footage' to see what the commotion was that I was complaining about out-side. They probably gave me personal details about said guests that I shouldn't have.
When I complained about the above they expected me to stay in during the day and wait for their maintenance man to turn up - sometime in a 3 hour period, and then wait while he did whatever work he was going to do! I had commitments and was unable to stay, so their response, was - well he can come the next day - the day i was leaving.

- Pina (10/5): Definitely stay again - It was so comfortable, the room was nice had Tv, Fridge everything I needed and the location was amazing No parking but expected

- Katie (4/5): -
- Carlos NW UK (7/5): - Quiet, ideal position. Dated rooms and furniture, such as what there was.
- Josefin (7/5): -
- Alissia (3/5): - Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette guesthouse, celui-ci est très bien situé, à 2 minutes de la plage et environ 5 minutes à pied du corso. Parcontre, la chambre peut être très petite si vous êtes deux personnes et que vous avez beaucoup d’affaires personnelles. Il n’y a pas d’endroits pour accrocher les linges, où il n’y a pas d’étagère pour ranger les affaires (car comme c’est très petit vous ne pouvez pas juste les laisser par terre).
Malheureusement, pendant que nous étions là nous avons vécu plusieurs désagréments. Le premier n’était pas si grave mais il y’avait des chantier et beaucoup de bruits, donc dur de se reposer l’après-midi. Le deuxième, ils nous ont retiré notre table de nuit sans nous prévenir pour ensuite la laisser dans le couloir une nuit, pour enfin s’en débarrasser. Le problème, c’est que nous avions pas assez d’espace de rangement et ils nous en retirent 1 en plus, sans aucun préavis. Le troisième, un monsieur assez bizarre restait toute la journée dans la salle de séjour / cuisine, toujours en train de regarder la télé et tout le monde. Nous nous sommes pas senti confortables dans cette cuisine. Aussi ils ont coupé l’eau de toute la guest house un jour, sans prévenir…
Si vous êtes pas très “picky” et vous arriver à vivre facilement dans des espaces serrés je ne pense pas que vous aurez des soucis.
- Rosie (7/5): -
- Charlie (5/5): Comfortable - For 1 person the room was large, bed was comfortable, I paid a bit extra N got a king double room, which had a sink which was good for water in these warmer months for drinking water.
The window was jacked open with a piece of wood when I arrived to help cool the room down. If your going to provide a fridge larger than a 160 litre bar fridge with kitchen sink access, then put a container (re- usable bottle) of water in said large fridge with 1 or 2 glasses / large plastic cups, so guests have cold water upon arrival - great in these warmer months especially if you've gotta climb 3 flights of stairs to get up there.
The main over head light didn't work.
Despite this it was comfortable.
- Lynn (10/5): -
- Christiane (6/5): - Good location, good memberkitchen. There is no nightmanager and the doors are electronic, so when you lock yourself outside the room, you cant get back in there.
- Mccann (8/5): -
- Markus (8/5): - Tolle Lage preis in ordnung ! Ich liebe Manly
- Ross (10/5): - The location and close to the pubs The rain and manly losing on Saturday night
- Sally (8/5): Good location , basic furnishing - Location amazing ! Chewing gum on my wall beside my bed ! Showers need a good scrub
- Natalie (6/5): Cheap one night stay very close to the beach - Very close to the beach and easy walking distance to the Corso. Smooth access to the room and a well-equipped kitchen. The room was very small and dated with questionable use of multiple power boards plugged into each other to substitute for an extension cord. As a result, the bedside lamp kept turning on and off which felt a little unsafe. No aircon but the fan was ok
- MICHELLE (10/5): A surprise visit - It had everything I needed . Laundry, kitchen and clean toiletry area. Nothing
- María Antonella (4/5): Avoid - Location Room was extremely hot and dirty
- Helena (7/5): Hjelpsomt personale og hyggelig bosted - De svarte raskt på WhatsApp og viste at de virkelig brydde seg om beboerene sine. Vi låste inne klærene våre i vaskemaskinen, og til tross for 2 dager med innelåste klær, så prøvde de sitt beste og endte opp med å knuse opp vaskemaskinen slik at vi fikk ut klærene før vi reiste der ifra. Vi setter stor pris på hjelpen!
- David (9/5): Nice spot - Room met my expectations, was comfy and clean Staff were busy so didn't see them, wasn't sure how to check out, just left key on office desk
- Stephanie (8/5): - The location having a ceiling fan was great The bed it was ok
- Renee (6/5): - Great location. Very close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Very small, very hot room.
- Erika (9/5): Overall good stay! Short trip - Great location, rooms are small but perfect for what we needed. Nothing really, they could have already had sent the WiFi in a message however i did ask and they replied very quickly with the details.
- Emma (5/5): -
- Arnaud (10/5): -
- Arnaud (9/5): -
- Megan Emilia (8/5): Amazing location. - Lovely cleaner and great location.
The owner was mid renovation and not the most 'aware' of what I needed as the customer - eg; I was getting ready to go for dinner and she wanted to sort something there and then.
- Sean (6/5): It was ok. Not super clean but bearable. You get what you pay for - Very convenient and cheap. Bathrooms were always really clean. Didn’t use the kitchen The room wasn’t very clean and you couldn’t open the window for fresh air
- Seph (9/5): I love this guesthouse!! - Great staff. Ann, Ray, and Thuy were fantastic, always helping to improve our long stay. I already booked 5 weeks next year. Heat management was an issue. The warm sun burned into 2 sides of the building and moving cool air thru the room wasn’t easy
- Constanza (10/5): Muy comoda y tranquila - La ubicación a una cuadra de la playa, y como tres cuadras del centro, muy comodo. Las areas comunes muy comodas y limpias. Al igual que baños y cocina. La pieza contaba con lo necesario y el tamaño un poco justo. Justo estaban realizando trabajos y comenzaban temprano con herrameintas ruidosas.
- Thomas Michael (4/5): Tired hostel in great location - Great location, room had fridge and TV (I don’t need) Very small room with single bed, hostel is very tired, the minimum would be a complete repaint, did not see any staff during my stay, to get into the hostel I received an email with different instruction than the text they send me.
- barry (6/5): - I stayed in bed 4 , window had been broken in before my arrival and it was still unsecured and couldn't be locked
- Julien (6/5): Excellent location, but not very clean - Not very clean, we found hair and dirty towel in the room, and the facility, like the shower was not clean
- Lell (3/5): -
- Jade (7/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Lisanne (3/5): - The location was great. Room and facilities were not very clean, room was very hot and stuffy and extremely small. Bed was very uncomfortable.
- Elizabeth (1/5): Never again. In its current state this is not a safe or relaxing environment for solo female. - Ann, the staff member, and the location were the only good things about this accommodation. it was literally abuilding site for the entire time I was there. My room was being renovated when I arrived and the paint was still wet when i finally moved into it late morning the following day. The entire building inside and out was piled high with builders and building materials. Hammers, drills, noise from early morning until the evening. There was a guest screaming and yelling and swearing aggressively at the top of his voice in hte hallway and right outside my room in the middle of the night on two nights; I was told a call had been made for his parents to pick him up but he was back the following night doing it again. I was too scared to leave my room. The front door and rear entrance doors were left wide open all night so anybody could have come in off the street. It was literally a building site for the entire time I was there. My room was empty except for a bare bed and being renovated when I arrived and the paint was still wet when i finally moved into it late morning the following day.

- Gerry (8/5): -
- Morgan (1/5): Booking was confirmed via Booking.Com App - but not honored by the property on arrival. - On arrival I was told my booking was cancelled, and there was no vacancy at the property. I had to re-book elsewhere at great expense. On arrival I was told my booking was cancelled, and there was no vacancy at the property. I had to re-book elsewhere at great expense.
- Amila (10/5): - Check in and out is easy. Very clean for a hostel. Room was big enough and quiet times were respected by all patrons. I’d love if bathrooms had more cleaning supplies like a mop and disinfectant, to encourage people to clean after showering.
- Philip (7/5): -
- Simon (7/5): -
- Esther (6/5): Good rate and close to moves around in town - Good good rate Bed too low need tick mattress and blanket
- Matthew (8/5): -

- Amelia (10/5): brill good price good location super nice - was so nice and they had kitchen stuff for us to use making eating easy nothing really
- Olivan (10/5): -
- M (2/5): Horrible Stay - The location near Manly Beach was excellent. It is also within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The guesthouse was horrible. Reception is only open for a few hours; otherwise, you have to call or text to deal with problems, of which there were many. The first night, our room was without electricity (no fan or light) due to a faulty breaker, which was inside another guest's room! The next day, we were moved to a new room, but the bed was broken and the mattress sagged on both sides so that you couldn't sleep on the bed without rolling off. The staff couldn't replace it until the third day, which was also the day when a noisy construction crew came to make repairs on a neighboring room. It seems the place is changing management (as the guesthouse is/was named "Sandy Bottoms").
Truly, the price we paid was way too much for such a run-down "bare bones" (no amenities) guesthouse. The shared bathrooms were also dirty, with water on the floor from clogged drains, and there weren't mops or brooms available to clean them.
- Bjorn (10/5): Bra! Bor där varje år. - Fantastiskt läge vid stranden Stilla Havet Manly Beach. Mycket prisvärt. Trevlig personal. Bra rum och sängar. Netflix.
- Mason (5/5): -
- Chris (2/5): Avoid! - Good location. Filthy.
Noisy.
Tiny ‘double’ room.
Staff don’t speak English
- Matthew (3/5): Expected more and would’ve been a disaster but for the location. - The location is fantastic. On arrival it took 10 minutes to enter the property as the staff has failed to send me an email to unlock the lockboxes to enter our rooms. Comfort lacked as there was a plastic sheet over our mattress, we were unsure if this was to protect it, or if the staff had failed to take it off. Air condition was lacking, which was disappointing, as all the hostels I had stayed in before were cool, which is where the value for money comes in (or there lack of).
There was also a spare bed in one of our rooms, yet we were banned from using it nor were we allowed to put items on it, so it just became a serious inconvenience. Furthermore, the staff were loud early in the morning in whatever works they were doing which made it difficult to sleep.
The light switch was also confusing and not located by the door which I found odd.
- Charles (9/5): -
- Tytti (8/5): - Excellent location and clean room. The room was a bit warm, but it was managable.
- Jacqueline (5/5): -
- Katherine (8/5): -
- Virginie (6/5): Hébergement moyen - L'emplacement Propreté à revoir, cheveux dans la douche et par terre dans la chambre.
Pas de tapis de bain.
Douche qui inonde la salle de bain
- Olaf (8/5): Sehr ordentliches Hostel in guter Lage - Top Lage, alles da was man braucht. Allerdings eher eine Backpacker-Unterkunft. Klimaanlage fehlt
- Joke en Gerard (6/5): -
- Rev Fiona (7/5): - Great position, well set up, propper communal kitchen and laundry as well as own kettle and microwave in room. Very prompt service when I locked myself out, would be really happy to stay again. Dripping tap in room, cleanliness of bathrooms - not helped by guests who don't clean up after themselves, last minute change to room from twin to double, but matress was sorted. All in all a great stay.
- EDUARDO (10/5): Manly best place to stay in Sydney - Manly Beach is a perfect place to stay while in Sydney. Best vibes, great cafes and restaurants, and super easy convenient fast access to Circular Quay (Sydney Central) which is only 20min by ferry and there are ferries departing every 15min. The location is good, the bathroom is shared but Ok, bed is good. I would stay again. Great value Check-out is 10am (very early) and no luggage storage service to be able to walk around town and come pick-up the luggage later. These are just suggestions. I would definitely stay again at the property :-)
- Jo (5/5): It feels like a backpackers - don't expect anything more. - It was in a good location near the beach. The room was mostly clean. Loud traffic on the main road nearby. Loud people coming back late at night.
- Rose (7/5): Exceeded our expectations for a guesthouse style stay. - The location. The facilities were good as well. Clean kitchen and bathrooms. The rooms were small and even though the weather wasn’t hot, the room was too hot.
- maria victoria (5/5): Value for money low cost - The staff was nice and the shared places like the kitchen and living room were nice and clean.
There was a fridge in the room. Was not like in the pictures, or at least our room.
The room was tiny, barely 1 suitcase could be open in the room.
Our room was the number 1 next to the exit and the door was slamming every time someone came in or out the guesthouse and we couldn’t sleep week because of that.
- Stephen (7/5): Good value for money basic accommodation - Good value for money basic accommodation. Shared toilet and bathroom.

- Graham (5/5): Great location but tiny room. - The location is perfect, just a couple of blocks from the beach and the main shopping strip. The shared kitchen and bathroom facilities were fantastic: spacious, clean and well-appointed. Our room was little bigger than a jail cell. There was lots of noise from other guests in the corridor through much of the night. Make sure you don't get the room opposite the kitchen.
