The Lurline Randwick

We arrived by an early flight and the staff Jessie was very nice to let us got in our room earlier. We chose a room that’s facing to the main street (Avoca St). Our room was situated at the 2/F, the room size was good enough for three. The room was nicely decorated, same as the profile photos. As a bonus, our room has a small lobby with glass doors open to the pretty balcony, this small area made our room area bigger. The beds and pillows were very comfort. Two big windows (double glazed) in our room provided very sufficient lights into the room during the day. However, all windows were locked up, could not open. The two female staff at front desk were very nice and helpful. A kitchen with dining table located at basement with a washer and a dryer, guests are welcome to use by free. As the kitchen was close to some guest rooms, so it closes at 10pm. Coles supermarket was nearby, you can buy all things you need. Chemist Warehouse just cross the road, very convenient. A beautiful Catholic church (Our Lady of Sacred Heart) was just 1 min walk. The light rail station (Randwick) was just opposite of the hotel, around 20 mins journey to Sydney Central Station. For a few more mins the light rail can reach Hay Market, China Town etc. Contact front desk If you need to arrange a carpark in their locked-up garage with some charges. However, there were some free street parking just next to the hotel, depends on your luck.

The air-conditioner blew directly to the single bed, and cannot be fixed. Seriously insufficient lightings in the room when the night came. Some corners of the room are almost totally dark at night, eg. The wardrobe… Asked help from front desk and they replied that was the design. We suggested if they could provide a portable desk lamb or a floor lamp, they promised but finally nothing happened. The door of the bathroom has no knock. The dryer in the kitchen was not dry enough, no matter we set one or two hours. We still have to hang the clothes inside our room to make them dry naturally. Or you could choose to go for a coined laundry nearby.

Our third time staying at the Lurline. Great location, friendly staff and pleasant, comfortable rooms. I really like the building - it has a lovely courtyard, charming decor and each of the rooms we have stayed in so far have been different from each other. Such a lovely area and so close to The Spot in Randwick, where we love to eat and shop for knick knacks, or Cooggee beach for a swim. Parking is a little tricky, as it's mostly street parking options - there are a few spaces but it's very hard to book one. All in all, for the money, it's a great option and I'm sure we will be back.

Parking is a bit tough, but that it is due to to the location and the age of the building. Difficult to find a place around here that is as good as the Lurline with a better option for parking!

The location was so convenient to public transport The building was attractive and the outside back patio was lovely for breakfast

We were in room 1 which was opposite a guest facility for washing , tumble drying, prepping food and eating meals . Very noisy and no limits to time of use - not before 8am and not after 10 pm as a suggestion - this was very disturbing and spoilt our nights as guests used the facilities until early hours and disrupted our rest. Disappointing to our overall stay at this lovely hotel. Management will need to address this if they are placing guests in room 1 .

Property is in an excellent location. Buses to Bondi Junction less than 5 min walk away, light rail across the road and Coogee Beach a 20 minute walk. Good choice of cafes/restaurants around. Common room with fridge and microwave, and lovely courtyard area. We had an early evening flight and once we had checked out we spent the day at the beach and the staff were kind enough to allow us to shower when we came back to collect our luggage and before catching our flight home.

I loved the look and feel of this beautiful, elder statesman of a building. Despite being in a front room on the ground floor, I was not disturbed by traffic noise from the street due to the heavy curtain coverage that was in place at the front facing windows. The reception staff member was EXCELLENT upon my arrival. She was warm, welcoming and very informative when I asked questions re local, public transport. Beautiful courtyard area out the back provided an enjoyable open space to enjoy coffee, breakfast or a meal at any time of the day.

Warmer weather, but that had nothing to do with the Lurline!

The room was really lovely, modern, clean and super convenient to Coles, chemist warehouse and lots of other shops. Our event was at Coogee so really close to the beach and a quick $13 uber from the hotel to the beach so super convenient. We would definitely stay again, it was great!

The only one negative I have to say is the parking situation, I think they have 8 car spaces for the whole hotel, we were lucky to secure a car park, but I rang early the morning of our stay and got the last available spot.

Very conveniently located next to Prince of Wales Hospital, Light rail, shops and restaurants rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had to extend our stay by an additional night and the staff could not have been more helpful in providing a room for our extra nights stay. Experience was seamless and delightful. Would certainly stay again when travelling to Sydney.

Parking was limited, however we were fortunate to secure parking which was and important part of our decision making when booking accomodation. So there was nothing not to like !

Beautiful property with lots of charm! Superb location in Randwick near shops, restaurants, UNSW and light rail just on your door step which takes you to CBD. We love the kitchen and free laundry facilities. The room is very comfortable and spacious, it has a vintage decor yet very modern. The bed is very very comfortable and had great sleep. Staff is friendly and accommodating with our requests. Overall, we're very happy with Lurline.

None - it was excellent.

The location is amazing. The light rail is directly across the road into the city and circular quay. Easy walk down to the beach. The kitchen area has everything you need. Complimentary washing machine and drier. The staff were excellent. They really attempt to fix any concerns as soon as possible to ensure your stay is comfortable.

I would suggest people ask about the adjoining rooms. They are quite noisy and can make yr stay unpleasant. Its like having strange guests talking in your room. The door is not solid and you can hear everything. If you smoke (as my mother did) there is no smoking in the courtyard room area, you have to go outside on the street. Booking.com list this place as non-refundable, so ask questions. There are no fly screens on the windows in yr room due to it bring a heritage building.

Proximity to light rail. Pretty gardens., nice locale .

Rude office lady. Totally indifferent, no welcome, no enjoy your stay type of talk, did not even get off seat to indicate directions. Cleaning staff ignorant ,rude and totally indifferent. Could not tell us where the garage was!!! Tiny room with tiniest bathroom in the many I’ve stayed in even overseas!
