I have stayed at Avoca Lodge twice recently, working at the local hospital. Location-wise, Avoca Lodge is fantastic. It is within very close walking distance to the main hospitals of Randwick (Prince of Wales, Sydney Children's, Royal Hospital for Women), shopping malls (including Woolies, Coles, miscellaneous retail, food courts), gyms, and cafes and restaurants. Randwick itself isn't too far away... More

Avoca Lodge is near the hospital and the uni of NSW for those visiting those places, which was the case with me. But it would also be a useful place to stay for any visitor to Sydney especially if you don't, want to be too touristy. I used to live in this area, and loved it.Randwick has good affordable restaurants,... More

Before arriving in Sydney I contacted staff at the lodge and requested a room on the first floor and away from the road (as other reviews on this site suggested this as important). This is exactly what I got :-) I arrived for a three day conference late at night and the staff arranged for my key to be kept... More

I was traveling through Sydney on my way to New Zealand and needed a flop on the layover between my flights. Avoca was close to the airport and relatively affordable. The general area the hotel resides in has some fantastic little restaurants and is abuzz at night so good for younger travelers or those looking ofr something to do at... More

The rooms are clean and good size, quiet if away from the road. Internet works well. Location convenient, with bus service to central Sydney nearby. Randwick has a variety of reasonable restaurants and shops.

We stayed for one night and found the lodge to be well located to the randwick shopping precinct, the hospital and coogee and also clean,roomy and comfortable and quiet. There is also a smaller set if shops very close which have restaurants,cafes, newsagent etc.. The parking is on street and it was ok finding a park,noting that many are three... More

We stayed 2 nights last weekend and chose Avoca for the location of staying near relatives. Whilst the staff were great during the booking process and the place was easy to find, I probably would not stay there again. $160 a night for the queen and 2 singles (cheaper for the 2nd night) - the bathroom was bigger than the...

Largest room among three other hotels me & my friend stayed in in Sydney. Best value in Sydney for a one night stay IMO; AUD75 for a Queen bed & two singles with a spacious en-suite bathroom. Public kitchen makes this place feel like home. A larger sized Flat TV though would have made this room terrific! Location is a... More
