Dive Hotel

Fantastic and very laid back.

We were made to feel comfortable, staff were friendly & helpfull.

Room a bit dark.

It is a small hotel in a great location that has a friendly atmosphere unlike large sterile commercial hotels. The room we had was large and airy and the king bed was really comfortable. It was good to be able to get our own continental breakfast and sit at the long table with the golden retriever near us. We really liked the atmosphere and the comfort and location.

We liked the informal, shared brekky. We liked the funky, but homey design features. We liked the relaxed feel and the relaxed staff.

The tiny bathroom in our standard room was tricky.

The location is perfect, staff were very friendly, nice atmosphere. Rooms were very clean.

I like the friendly greeting by the staff and the two lovely dogs. Our room was clean and tidy and had everything we required for a night's stay. We were in Coogee for a wedding so only showered, then slept in the comfy bed before checking out.

The creaky floorboards. Next time I will know what the complimentary ear plugs in the hall way were for.

Stayed as group of 4 for only 1 night. Would love to have stayed longer. Very cute beach stay. Not luxurious, but great location, friendly staff, great communal area for brekky,bbq or drinks. The 4 legged meet and greet team make you feel instantly at home. Well done for something a bit different.

It was a very friendly & relaxed place with 2 gorgeous dogs who greeted you every time you came in. The breakfast area was great & worked very well. The room was small but very well designed so that there was a place for everything. It was lovely being just across the road from the beach.

It was right under the flight path at night so was a bit noisy. Some rooms that were next to a beer garden of the pub next door had noise issues too.

Great location to beach, shops and restaurants but a small, quiet and comfortable establishment. Nothing is too much trouble for staff, very personable. A very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Only comment here was that the bathroom was a little small although functionable. Perhaps an extra towel rack would have been good.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Dive Hotel. There is a wonderful ambience the moment you enter the building. I particularly liked the great family like atmosphere and the friendliness of the owners and staff....and mustn't forget the owners' dogs !!!!! The make-your-own breakfast is a great innovation with the breakfast room and outside area being particularly welcoming. I will most definitely stay at Dive Hotel in the future when we visit our daughter who has just purchased an apartment less than 100m up Arden Street. Did I mention the location........wonderful......beach, views, endless restaurants, pubs, walks, public transport.....it has it all!!!!!

We booked an ocean view room which was fabulous. Clean, spacious and very well equipped room. Location right across from the beach

We booked well in advance and payment was taken immediately even thought the terms said that the terms were flexible and reservation could be cancelled. Continental breakfast was good, but the dining area a little strange.

Great location and comfortable with very friendly and helpful staff.

Rooms that do not have an ocean view effectivley have no view with frosted glass windows looking out at neighbours' walls. I found the room well appointed and comfortable but the decore in my room was a bit 'modern factory' for my liking. It's not really a business hotel as busses and taxis are close by but you have to drag your luggage with you to locate a taxi .I arrived after a long day and a long flight delay to be confronted by a flight of stairs up which I had to carry my luggage . Fortunately the welcome was friendly and helpful when I did get inside and service and facilites were great.

Loved it all from the moment we walked in the door. The guy on the desk was so welcoming, the room had everything we needed, even though we were in the smallest room. The breakfast was superb. Loved the invitation to use the kitchen and make a cup of tea anytime (unfortunately too busy with the conference to do this.) Loved the breakfast atmosphere, chat or read the paper. Thank you so much!!

There was nothing at all I didn't like except I wasn't there nearly long enough. I will have to come back. So pleased I stayed there instead of the Crowne Plaza next door!!!
