St Marks Randwick is a stylish guesthouse located just 20-minutes walk from Coogee beach and The Royal Randwick Racecourse. With public transport close by, it’s just 15 minutes by bus to the Sydney CBD and Sydney Harbour. Free unlimited WiFi is provided.

Property was very modern and clean , air conditioning was great and the staff were excellent and so helpful. I arrived late and after check in time but I was provided with very clear instruction on how to get into the hotel and get my key from the safe box. The gentleman behind reception was so helpful as I was travelling alone he helped me with my bags when I needed to change rooms and check out , I really appreciated the extra effort.

Offering free Wi-Fi, Cremorne Point Manor is located in the lower North Shore of Sydney. It offers air-conditioned rooms with a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator. Some rooms offer a spa bath or a hot tub.

Nice quiet location, and only a 2 minute walk to the 8 minute ferry ride to the Circular Quay (next to Sydney Opera House) where you can switch over to other ferries, buses, trains etc. Even though we had to pay extra for Continental Breakfast, it was worth it. Nearby was a nice walking trail and Cremorne Reserve. Great property if you want to enjoy big city, but not stay in a noisy area.

    It was a lovely boutique hotel with great vibe. Beautifully decorated and clean throughout. It was quiet and in a great location. The room we were in had a balcony which was nice. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and communication before arrival and out of hours was very efficient. Bathroom products smelt like a spa.

    I was impressed that the hostel seemed clean - with staff cleaning daily, and also AC worked marvellously in my room. Easy check in. Good quiet hostel if you're looking for a cheap stay in a great location.

    Great location, the room was very quiet, and the place had a really nice vibe in general - a real mix of ages and different types of travellers. We were looking for a cheap, quiet place to stay as a family (two kids aged 10 and 12) and this worked really well, given that we were out and about most days. The place was very relaxed and didn't have a 'loud party hostel' vibe which was perfect for us!
