Among the facilities at this property are an ATM and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, karaoke and a shared kitchen. This exceeded expectations for a hostel. It was right in the city center and a 3 minute walk to a gorgeous beach. The location is unbeatable! The staff were super friendly and it had a huge communal kitchen and living space. I had a private room and found the beds to be comfy and loved that they provided warm comfy bedding and clean new white towel.

Boasting seaviews, all rooms at Little Coogee Hotel include a refrigerator, flat-screen TV. Some feature a kitchenette with a microwave. All private rooms ( queen or twin ) or shared dorm rooms include an en-suite bathroom with a shower/toilet and air conditioning / heating, Newly refurbished, small room but with complete amenities including clothes hangers, ironing board, refrigerator, kettle, and hair dryer. Located near bus stops so it’s easy to commute to the city. Many nice cafes to choose from along the same street. Reception area is not exactly big enough to be called a lobby, but there’s a spacious common area and balcony plus a kitchen if you want to cook. Very nice staff. I was amazed for a small hotel that they have this 5-star touch of stamping a new roll of toilet paper upon check-in.
