Top Watsons Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"The most amazing place we've ever stayed, the staff are the most welcoming, most helpful and most professional that we have ever come across. Already planning our next trip back to The Four Seasons Sydney"

The Sebel Sydney Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The room was so clean and comfortable. The bathroom is ready for a revamp but we have no complaints. Your staff was exceptional, they could not do enough and they were so caring and had wonderful conversation. The cafe next door was very handy. We will definitely be returning to stay."

The Albert Hotel Mosman

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a gem - very nicely done and quiet for sleeping. Call early for parking."

Peppers Manly Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location. Would stay again in beach view room. BUT, our bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly (biscuit on floor near toilet & bath filthy). Staff promptly sent someone to clean. Notified hotel of our early arrival as we knew check-in was 3pm. Fair enough, Arrived 8am after long flight. Check-out is 11am. So rooms would start being cleaned at that time. Told they’d contact when a room was available. We went for a coffee and long walk (perfect location to do this). Returned 12:30. Waited in lobby. Waited out the front. Kept waiting. Staff said room should be ready soon (on several occasions) By 2pm someone offered us water and we discovered a water fountain we could have used ourselves the entire time. We were told it could be 10 or 20 mins more. Finally given our room at 3pm. Check-in time! IF someone had just said no early check-in we could understand, but to wait and wait and be told repeatedly ‘the room should be ready soon” made the wait worse. Staff in reception lovely to chat with and we are friendly. Perhaps we should have complained or become angry, as those types of people seem to get action. Disappointed after a 15 hour flight to have a 7 hour wait for check-in, after being told a room should be ready around midday after checkout & cleaning. Then to discover the room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly made it worse."

Stay At Ivanhoe Apartments Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Room was amazing, especially for price. Floors definitely needed a vacuum as there was sand throughout the apartment, not visible to the eye due to the flooring but had to dust off feet before hoping into bed"

Mosman Luxury Studio

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here. The communcation with Wayne was excellent and he was always ready to help. It is just a short walk to the ferry, which is a nice way to start the day. We enjoyed the feeling of having lived for a week in Mosman, rather than just beig a tourist. Great facilities in the apartment. The cafe at the wharf has some tasty food, just be aware that there isn't a supermarket for quick supplies just around the corner, although you can take a bus into Mosman shops. Overall, highly recommended! Thanks, Wayne :)"

Ballantyne at Mosman Serviced Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Great location , lovely clean air conditioned apartment , fully equipped. Plenty of parking available with cafes and shops nearby. Great communication from our host . "
