Excellent location, comfortable beds and good shower - fine for a one night stay very close to the beach. Kitchenette not well equipped with cups etc. There were 4 of us and we took turns using the one cup!

Hello Alison I am sorry to hear of the shortage of cups etc, like everyone we are having trouble getting staff and training them to do what is needed due to the COVID situation. We are one of many in the hospitality section having to deal with this. I wish you had rung down or notified reception and we could have rectified this as unless notified and until housekeeping staff trained up we need the guests feedback which we immediately follow up so we thank you. We do not wish to have disappointed or guests not supplied in their rooms properly. I hope you will come back again later to see how we have rectified all and in the meantime the staff of Manly Waves Accommodation wish you and your family a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

The room was extremely cold. Air con heater didn’t work. Shower was the most non eco friendly one in the history of showers. Parking was an extra fee on top of the room and the lady at the front desk was most impolite and unhelpful during check in and check out.

Despite booking it as it advertised free parking, I was told upon arrival that there was none and I would have to risk leaving my car on the street which was 2P till 10pm. The lady who checked me in seemed to be quite put out by my arrival, and quite unpleasant. The room had broken blinds with many missing

Some maintenance needed to be done to the room I stayed in. I was confused when at first I didn’t have running water, and then after opening all taps and waiting some time finally the water came through. Location is fantastic with a short walk to the beach. Could just do with some modernisation, but for the one night stay where I needed a bed it did okay.

Close to the beach and Manly.
The motel is perfectly located within walking distance to the beach and Manly Corso. Parking is limited, but you can park on the street. We walked to the beach for a pre-breakfast swim. The property is currently being renovated, but noise was not a problem. The staff were very friendly.

Did not stay, checked out right away
Room advertised was so different from the actual room, the room was dirty and tired. I was not expecting a five star room but was just hoping that it would be tidy and presentable. I have stayed to a much cheaper accommodation but still looks much cleaner. The window could not be totally closed as there is a wire running from the outside to the air conditioning unit. In short we did not stay and checked out straight away. Stayed in a different accomodation.

Looking at the bookings and if I am correct another room internally was booked and you were moved to our standard room and as for the cable to the air coditioner if that had a plug on it outside it could have been brought into the room and the window closed safely it was put outside as a guest would leave the air con on when out all day and did not heed requests I believe I am correct in finding anonymous booking, We try to accommodate all our guests and if correct if your wife did not like that room I apologise for she would not have liked the original room booked and we were fully booked that weekend and we have many happy and returning guests due to our pricing especially at the weekends. So as I am working slightly blindfolded due to no names on this review it does not help the hotel follow up and I have to access as much as possible where I can if incorrect on this I apologise.

Hello Anonymous the property is older yes as for flies ants and bugs they are prominent in Australia especially in warm weather unless you do not like windows open. We are in a great location and we have if you review Manly Designer studios renovated another totally different arm of the business. We are cost competive to allow guests to come and enjoy Manly and our location and we show all our photos clearly. we only currently have a hotel rating of 2.5 stars. Yet we are a warm relaxed family environment for our guests and many appreciate fully these factors. We always take our guests feedback on deck and although older property we do clean every day properly. we hope you will come back and revisit us.

Hello Sal, I am sorry you were disappointed we clearly state we have LIMITED off street parking and we are one of the lucky. You booked during a really busy period a double room and we can only upgrade to the rooms available. We take your comments re the door seriously to be looked at as all guests before and since in this busy competition months have never reported this nor have the cleaners had trouble getting into the room either.

Manley Hotel 29 Feb room 7 The best thing about this hotel is the location. Besides this I have nothing good to say about it. Having stayed there for 1 night I would never recommend this place Reasons: As reception closes early I would encourage whoever want to take the risk and stay here to thouroghly give your room the one over before heading out. Coming back to the room at 12.00 I was greeted to a room of 8 cockroaches, and heaps of mosquitoes. (If this is a known isssues I feel like complimentary insect spray should be provided.) Secondly to stop more mosquitoes coming in I tried to close the windows however one of the windows is broken and has no handle so it can’t be closed, so I was forced the deal with the mosquitoes situation. There clearly was a major mould issue in the bathroom, that someone has tired to clean but has done an awful job because more mould is growing on the ceiling, wall, door and shower curtain. The room was not cleaned properly before my stay, rubbish under the bed was evident, and further viewing under the bed was covered with dead bugs and layer of dust. The room had no air conditioner, so the provide you with a pedestal fan, this fan clearly has never been cleaned, covered in dust inside and out, at 12.30 at night I was forced to clean the whole fan before using it. The old saying comes to mind, you get what you pay for... if you are decide to stay here and pay more than $20 for the room you are getting ripped off. 0 Stars

Hello Joe I thank you for your review, we have taken on board your comments however all our guests have been more than happy with that room and we clean on check out but the cleaners have been reviewed on all your points. However as stated on our booking sites not all of our rooms have air conditioning and you had a fan which although cleaned regularly with the ongoing storms and dust from the road it can easily accumulate dirt or dust as can the room if the windows are open as does my room and fan. You booked a 2.5star hotel and the standard room on the ground floor for the price in a busy time and this is a question of your perception neither right nor wrong just yours and others love that room so you see as they do I will let others decide. And it is always booked for the price quite happily older bathroom but its clean

Thank you, Anonymous for your review and your lovely compliment re reception. The Manly Designer Studios are worth looking at to see the renovations that are intended for the hotel but it all takes time, come and stay there in one of them. This is a small family business and cost-wise we always against the expensive manly area meet the costs equal to our competitors so that all can come, but in the busy season yes prices everywhere in Manly go up for accommodation, but we hope that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again.

Unfortunately cockroaches at this time of year are in manly and Australia others fly in and we professional spray exteriors and interiors of the hotel but they come where there is moisture warmth and food. As for uncomfortable to stay in this your perspective neither right nor wrong and does not match others that happily stayed here. So I let others decide.

All know that there is a parking problem in Manly unless metered and or paying other hotels $55.00 per night. As for noisy we do try to keep the guest hopefuly to respect other guests and we do when on duty or if a complaint try to get them to respect the other guests. As for shortage of anything in the room through housekeeping human error we follow up on this so thank you for letting us know but any guest missing anything all they have to do is contact reception for it to be dealt with.

Hi Vadim, we always value feedback. Are you sure that you have the correct Hotel and State, as Geckos are not found in NSW? They are native to the NT and QLD and are only found in tropical climates, not in Sydney. That aside, contrary to you thoughts on the demolition of our Hotel (if it was us), the Hotel is under NEW Management and we are excited about the work we have ahead of us for our upcoming Refurbishment, which we are approaching one room at a time. We hope that you would consider coming back to stay with us in the future.

The only good thing was that it was close to the beach. There was cockroaches in the fridge and in the room, the air conditioner vents had so much dust in them, the room hasn’t cracks in many areas, room service enters the room whenever they want even when people are not in the room and the toilet was so tiny plus the toilet door wouldn’t lock either. It was a terrible experience for us.

I am sorry you were disappointed unfortunately Manly and the Northern beaches are as the residents know renound for coackroaches during certain season and although we regularly spray both the outside of the Hotel and the inside we do all we can. Room service only enters to refresh or maintenance if you have made a report other than that no one enters your room. With regards to the rest of your review as it is anonymous and does not let us know what you are in it does not help us to review any problems. This is a 2.5 star hotel that you booked and we offer affordable prices to stay in our beautiful Manly during the summer season and as under new ownership we are in the process of renovations around guests to make this grand old lady shine. We have so many happy guests that value the character of the hotel the costing and the location so it is just a question of perspective. Had we been told of the bathroom lock that would have gone immediately to maintenance in the busy season of xmas to have been fixed however if you do not report it or them that you are unhappy about then we have no knowledge of the problems We wish you a happy new year.
