Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros - location in terms of proximity to beach and a few shops/cafe etc. Studio room thoughtfully decorated in a vintage kitsch way. Clean and tidy. Very comfortable bed.
Cons- this place has a motel/hostel feel (and odour) and was not quite what I expected from the way it was advertised. The building is probably circa 1960 and feels old. There was a light from the stairwell shining in to the room all night so it was very bright and the blinds and curtains did little to block out street light. Security is flimsy, the door/s needs a more adequate lock. The pillows need to be replaced as they were old and the bedspread and cushion covers on the bed need proper laundering to remove old odours. The shower head was leaky and kept spraying in my face. Being an old building it was noisy, could hear street activity and neighbours movements, shower etc.
This place would suit young travellers who are in Manly for the beach experience and who are not too concerned about their accom.
