InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG
Beautiful stay! Great location across the road from the beach. Great hotel amenities - room service, onsite restaurants, pool. Rooms are a little small (especially bathroom), but we loved our ocean view balcony room. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Beautiful view of the water. Quiet location. Beautiful decor in rooms. Staff very helpful. Clean & tidy rooms & bathroom. Unfortunately no exhaust fan in bathroom & the bed was very hard (but that’s just me)! Close to Coogee shops & beach Would definitely stay again.

PodBed Coogee Beachside - Hostel
Place was dirty and overflowing with other people's personal belongings all over the floor in the common space in the room. Couldn't access my bed without tip toeing around other people's open suit cases and had no space for my stuff. Felt like people were living there and that I was an inconvenience ...
