悉尼蘭德威克亞弗卡旅館(Avoca Randwick by Sydney Lodges)

The main advantage of this place is its location. It's a five mins walk to Randwick light rail station. Randwick light rail station is the last stop also. The place is right opposite to two hospitals. As a foreign tourist, I find this place safe, quiet, and easy to access by light rail transport. Coles and Woolworth's supermarkets are ten minute walk from this place. A good location if your children are studying at UNSW as it is one rail stop to UNSW High Street. You can also walk to UNSW from Randwick light rail station (15 mins walk). Please note there are no lifts in this place. Hence you will need to carry your own check-in luggage. There are no bell boys to do this. The kitchen is shared and so is the laundry. You will need to use three one-dollar coins for the washing machine and three one-dollar coins for the dryer. You may need to use the dryer twice hence you will need to spend A$6 on drying your dress. The reception will help you with changing your notes to coins. You need to use your own washing powder and fabric softener. There are lots of eateries around this place including KFC, Oporto, manoosh pizza, and MacDonald to name a few. Rooms are cleaned only once a week. You will need to help yourself with fresh towels that are placed in the common area. For someone from Singapore like myself, this is a very odd culture for a Hotel. Parking is pain and this place doesn't provide one. It will cost you A$ 50 per day for an over night parking. Wilson Parking is close by at Ritz cinema if you want to park your rent a car. I guess that's how it is here in Sydney. Overall a good place to stay and the location is the best part of this stay.

I rang to confirm where to park and was told there was no parking - when u pressed saying the website said parking was available they then agreed that there was limited parking. Then arriving at the hotel I asked again (they told me I had to check in first) they told me again there is no parking then again pressed that the website says it is free and they again said it was limited. This website should be uodates to no carparking or very limited parking at another location. Otherwise the staff were nice enough and the bed was super comfortable.

Location is fine. Easy to access. Instructions for check in was easy. Clean room, but small. I was in room 107. Major down fall is how noisy it is. I am a light sleeper, and there was just too much noise. Kitchen is directly opposite the room, and although it says 8-8pm, people use it well outside of these hours. I could hear everyone talk, quite clearly! If it wasn’t for the noise issue, I would have rated it higher. But we need sleep? On a holiday …

Very expensive for what you get. There was a lot of back and forth communication regarding the planned stay. Basically also had to pay the full amount before even setting foot in the place. Where have you ever gone where you pay in full before having spent any time in the place? The room served it's purpose. That's all else I can say about it.

it was in the centre of the places we needed to go to. Lightrail wasn't far for us to use. When we arrived into the room, it smelt like smoke, that is our only dislike.

If you like a room with no internet when it is advertised as having internet then the room we stayed in is for you. It is clean and very close to the hospital so that's good. Our room was right on Avoca street so the light and noise from the road at night made sleeping difficult. We complained about the lack of internet, but of course nothing was done. The dear lady at reception offered us her personal phone, but that was not really appropriate. Management should have fixed this and also reception is only open from 11am till 4 pm. Our complaint was basically ignored.

Easy to communicate with staff who was very helpful and assisted with any enquiries. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Pretty much after spending all day waiting for a mechanic, then truck as our car broke down when we're passing trough Sydney, your place, the location and absolute incredible staff communication helped us to relax and forget about the stressful day.
