Top Watsons Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Bondi

Hotel Bondi

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Bondi is located over the road from the iconic Bondi surf beach. Plus, it had its own eateries with great food at reasonable prices. Our double room wasn't large, but it had everything we needed, and the position and excellent staff made it a perfect choice for us to explore the area, go to the beach, and get transport to the extra large shopping center. Buses were frequent to go shopping and they stopped just outside one way, and across the road for opposite direction. Hotel Bondi wasn't expensive. For its position we thought the price was very reasonable. All staff were helpful, efficient and friendly. Happy to recommend you Hotel Bondi. Hope to visit and stay with you again."
