Location was excellent being right across from the beach, and surprisingly quiet for being so close to the Coogee Bay Hotel. Liked the communal outdoor area out the back (pleasantly surprised) and handy having the communal kitchen.

The room smelt musty as you walk in but that's to be expected for an old building. One of the bathroom lights doesn't work - just flickered like a strobe light, and water sprays everywhere from the shower so everything gets wet... but nothing towels don't fix. And the bath towels still had remnants of old stains on them. But these were all things you can look past. The room had no view from the window (I think it looked out to a corrugated iron fence) so it's not a place you want to spend a lot of time but with everything at your doorstep you don't need to. I'd still go back and stay again if I needed to.

You can't get any better than this location wise. Walking distance to everything. In the heart of the action. The room has been updated beautifully. The building on the outside & foyer needs a little revamp, but the room we had was beautiful. Nicely furnished & updated. For us, we are only there to sleep & a few hrs of an afternoon to enjoy the magnificent ocean view with a drink & some nibbles. Other than that, we enjoyed all that Coogee has to offer. Bondi MOVE OVER!! COOGEE kills it!

Everything was wonderful. As a suggestion, just a renovation of the outside & foyer.

Lovely quiet hotel right on Coogee Beach. Very spacious room with good sound proofing. Extra large bed with sufficient power outlets around the room and bed. Bathroom had a lot of space, but could benefit from an extra shelf above/near the basin. Good lighting, and curtains seemed to be blackout. I’d definitely stay here again. House keeping every day which is a real benefit as being by the beach we sometimes brought sand in accidentally. Wifi was very good. We had a small issue that needed to be sorted but there wasn’t anyone at reception at the time. There was a phone number to call/text but I don’t have a local sim, instead I emailed and was so impressed with how quickly they replied and also sorted the issue.

Amazing location, comfy bed in the king room and great view from balcony, The person on the desk was also super helpful with parking and the night clerk was excellent when helping to sort out an issue with our room booking.

Difficulty communicating with manager, tried calling multiple times and never answered or returned my call. When they did respond it was via message. When we arrived we were given a double room when I booked and paid for a king room with balcony. The manager could not be contacted. Thankfully there was a night clerk who could help rectify the situation.

The Dive hotel is located across the road from the beach. It’s very affordable for the location. We stayed in a room upstairs. We have also stayed in the rooms downstairs. The rooms are large and have all the basics you need. The bed was comfortable. As it is an old building you can hear when people move around in some rooms. This was not a huge issue just good to know.

The front door to the hotel did not feel very secure but we did not have any issues.

Location location location! And the price for the location! This hotel may not suit everyone - it’s quite ‘hostelly’ with common areas etc. And it’s getting a little tired - but we have been coming here for years and love it. We are really only there to sleep and shower and change. It is opposite the beach - sandwiched between the Coogee Bay Pub and Crowne Plaza, and it’s the best!

Nothing to dislike.

We mostly liked the comfort of bed and that it was quiet. We heard no traffic noise or music from next door. We also liked the air con that we were able to control ourselves and it worked well!!

Sink in bathroom too small and couldn’t rinse our mouths properly due to small shelf on top. Not enough storage room and more shelves needed in bathroom. The lights in the room too dim. Need brighter lights in bathroom

I love this hotel. It is right across from the beach. I had an ocean view room with a small balcony on a busy street and it was still quiet in the room. I asked to check in early and someone came to meet me. I never needed or saw any staff-person again which was fine with me. The room was super clean, has lots of outlets and a lamp by the bed. It's not fancy but it had every thing I need, a nice modernist style, and the beach right across the street.

Great location facing the beach, good value for money and the room was very spacious, with a mini kitchenette. The owners communicated well pre arrival as reception is not managed all the time re arrival time etc. Why more elsewhere when you can get what you need for half the price at the Dive. Given location you have loads of places to eat, drink, supermarket, buses for transport

Nothing, as what I got was What I expected based on what is advertised

Spacious room, comfortable bed, fabulous location and view and we were kindly given bit of a late check-out in order to attend to some business. Very happy with our stay and would recommend.

The stairs out the front were blocked due to ongoing works but it didn’t affect our stay at all as there is also a ramp up to the front door which was even more convenient.
