I initially had high hopes for my stay, but it ended in disappointment. While the location is close to the beachy vibes of Manly, the noise and cleanliness issues left a lot to be desired. Friendly service from the hosts was a plus, but it couldn't offset the overall unpleasant experience.

Staying at Manly Beach House was pretty disappointing overall. While the location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and shops, the room left much to be desired. It was cramped, dirty, and noisy, which really made my experience less enjoyable.

I stayed at Manly Beach House and had mixed feelings about my experience. While the location was great, being close to the beach and local attractions, the room left much to be desired due to its size and cleanliness. The communal areas were often noisy, making it hard to relax.

Rooms

The room was cramped and lacked basic amenities like air conditioning, a TV, or even a phone. There was a noticeable lack of cleanliness, and I found hairs on the bed and floor. The only positive was the comfortable bed.

The facilities were minimal, with a large common area and basic kitchen facilities. I wished for more comforts in the room, but the communal space was adequate for coffee or light meals.

My stay at Manly Beach House had its ups and downs. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and shops, but the room was quite tiny and not as clean as I had hoped. The staff were friendly and engaging, yet when I raised cleanliness concerns, they were defensive. Overall, it’s decent if you're looking for a basic place to crash while exploring Sydney.

Rooms

The room was really small. barely enough space for our luggage, and it had a strange vibe with a view of a brick wall. The cleanliness was a major issue.
