Hotel's Favorite
Wow, beautiful hotel, with an amazing pool and 2 min walk to beach and rock pool. Very posh inside, felt a bit like an up market American country club experience. Breakfast/restaurant room was beautiful. Staff very nice. Free towels for pool and beach. Room very good with usb sockets. Good public buses to Bondi. The walk took us over an hour, and was up and down hill. Nearby Coogee beach restaurants were great.

A very lovely hotel but all centred around conferences into which they put all their efforts. Not so great for individual bookings. I am an Accor member and while the location is great would have doubts about going back. I have stayed several times but never had a room at the back before.

While the location is PERFECT, that's about it... This hotel and the employees are TIRED. I'm surprised it's even part of the IHG group which is the only reason why we booked here as an IHG member. Poor service all throughout. It's as if we had to fend for ourselves. We asked for a change of towels which never arrived. We had to pick it up at the lobby after an hour. The shower heating system was broken. Took me almost 30 mins to shower as the water coming out of the shower was extremely hot despite it being set to cold.It was all about timing with the shower heater. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't... But more often than not, it didn't. We should've anticipated this from the star. When we checked in earlier than the regular 3pm check in, we were told that we would get a call or sms message that we could check in. The call or message never came in.Again... who's running this hotel???? IHG, shame on you!

The hotel is quite nice (although a bit tired), and the location is great. But the service is pretty underwhelming for an expensive hotel. It took an hour for two cocktails and a soft drink to be delivered to the pool area. And when it finally arrived (after I called to chase it up) the staff member complained about how he had to set up for a function that evening, so if we wanted more drinks it would take the same amount of time. No apology for the delay. At breakfast, tables were left strewn with dirty dishes. At one stage there were no coffee cups left for the coffee machine, and we had to ask three different staff members before cups arrived. It’s not terrible, but it’s frustrating and a bit disappointing. I got the strong impression that most staff don’t enjoy working there. Really good, friendly service is what makes a great stay I think, and unfortunately it was really lacking here. An underwhelming stay.

What an experience we had at the Crowne Plaza! Along with being able to swim every morning in the sea (or the sea pool if the waves are a bit much for the morning), the avocado was perfectly ripe for every breakfast we had. The addition of fig scented bath products around the hotel was exactly was we needed after spending the days in the Sydney sun and “sweating it out”, so to speak! If only we could’ve stayed for the Taylor Swift celebrations!

The Bed was NOT MADE but simply the top cover was attempted to be pulled straight and a poor job of that-the bottom sheet was not straitened at all. I made the bed at 11pm when I got back to my room-UNACCEPTABLE. I did report this to front desk next morning.

Ah, the hotel's service is nothing short of outstanding! Picture this: I stroll in, Agoda reservation in mind, only to find it's gone MIA. But fear not, for Annabel Hakkesteegt and the duty manager, Bari Chowdhury, swoop in like hospitality heroes. They calm my nerves, assure me of available rooms, and even play matchmaker with my booking price. Bary secures me a partial sea view room so I can check in immediately. Annabel, with her charm, found me in the lobby and graciously upgraded me to a balcony room. And let's not forget the little touches - water, apples, and even a smiling vacuum cleaner and a smiling housekeeper - all adding to the delightful experience. It's service with a smile, and I'm grinning from ear to ear.

Walking distance to coogee beach. Lots of food and amenities around. Clean hotel and room. Excellent choice of hotel to stay one is going to Coogee beach for a holiday. Hotel staff service is top notch, which is the most important aspect for me when i visit a hotel. So far Crown Plaza has not failed me on my visits.

The hotel was modern, well maintained and clean. The location on Coogee Beach is outstanding, with a beutiful view of the ocean and beach from our balcony room. The sound of the waves breaking on the beach was supurb. The staff was warm and very pleasent. When we arrived after over 28 hours of travel, we were greated at the reception desk by Chloe. We can not find enough praise for her personality and level of service thatshe provided for us.
