Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Large bed and bathrooms and very comfortable. Staff were respectful and responded quickly when we had a concern. A nice selection of foods at the breakfast buffet. We would definitely stay there again."

Peppers Manly Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location. Would stay again in beach view room. BUT, our bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly (biscuit on floor near toilet & bath filthy). Staff promptly sent someone to clean. Notified hotel of our early arrival as we knew check-in was 3pm. Fair enough, Arrived 8am after long flight. Check-out is 11am. So rooms would start being cleaned at that time. Told they’d contact when a room was available. We went for a coffee and long walk (perfect location to do this). Returned 12:30. Waited in lobby. Waited out the front. Kept waiting. Staff said room should be ready soon (on several occasions) By 2pm someone offered us water and we discovered a water fountain we could have used ourselves the entire time. We were told it could be 10 or 20 mins more. Finally given our room at 3pm. Check-in time! IF someone had just said no early check-in we could understand, but to wait and wait and be told repeatedly ‘the room should be ready soon” made the wait worse. Staff in reception lovely to chat with and we are friendly. Perhaps we should have complained or become angry, as those types of people seem to get action. Disappointed after a 15 hour flight to have a 7 hour wait for check-in, after being told a room should be ready around midday after checkout & cleaning. Then to discover the room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly made it worse."
