더 맨리 로지 부티크 호텔

It's very central to either end of manly. Ferrari at one end and the beach at the other. Our room had a private bathroom with a spa bath shoer n toilet only problem it didn't work lol but it was still nice to have a bath . It had a kitchenette with a microwave small store top with small fridge . Kettle n toaster .everything you need for a weekend or week stay. The bed was comfortable and it had an a/c. Only problem NO PARKING and I mean no parking at the hotel. There is, however a Wilson carpark a street away where you can park.

Reception unattended and no one answered phone number given for urgent attention. Bathroom door locked when I closed it from outside so couldn’t go to toilet or shower. Tv didn’t work and room wasn’t very clean. They gave me another room next morning when receptionist arrived 9am, were apologetic. Shame the place has been let to run down.

Not quite as lovely as the pictures indicated. Relatively clean despite being old; no staff onsite and the building is completely open all night so didn’t really feel secure as a single female traveller. Lots of street noise!

This lodge would be fine for back packers as it is in a fantastic location and is a good price but it is very shabby. The bed linen and bathrooms were clean and the rooms are a good size but the sofa and curtains in the rooms were dirty. As first impressions are the most important it would be worth spending the money on new curtains that run on tracks and buying leather (maybe vinyl) sofas that can be wiped over so they are clean. Maybe also buy large rugs for the floor as this might help insulate the noise coming from the next door rooms. You also need to talk to the guy who lives in the room next door to room 6 and works in the cafe downstairs as he comes home at 1 am every morning and yells out the window to his mates. He is very selfish. The crockery and cookware in the rooms also need to be checked as there is no need for 6 frypans just one half decent one. The microwave and hotplates all worked fine which is good.

For a boutique hotel it is extremely outdated. There were marks on the walls, mould on the ceiling and food left in the fridge. There is no daily house keeping and the Wifi connection only works when near the reception area.
