I enjoyed my stay at Dive Hotel, thanks to its great location right across from Coogee Beach and the warm, informal welcome from the staff. However, the condition of the room was a letdown; it felt dated and lacked some luxury touches. While the complimentary breakfast was fine, the recent hike in the parking charge struck me as a bit excessive, especially since it became cash-only.

I had a mixed experience at Dive Hotel. On the one hand, the location is unbeatable, right across from Coogee Beach, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. However, some areas, like the reception and the rooms, could use a bit of love and updating. The staff was friendly and helpful, which definitely made the stay a bit more pleasant.

I found my room okay, though it had its shortcomings like a dated microwave and a tiny TV. The bedding was comfy, but I felt the overall vibe was a bit behind the times. Had a nice opening window, but no view, which was disappointing. It could really use an upgrade.

The complimentary continental breakfast was decent for a quick start to the day, with tea, coffee, and breads available. It wasn't extravagant, but it did the trick.

The hotel has some nice outdoor space and even a kitchenette in the room, which is handy, but the laundry facilities could use an upgrade.

I recently stayed at Dive Hotel in Coogee Beach. The location is excellent, right across from the beach, which was a huge plus for me. The space felt clean and had a nice balcony with a view, but I felt the place was quite dated. The breakfast was basic, and honestly, I ended up grabbing something more substantial from nearby cafes. Overall, it's an okay place, but there are definitely some things that need improvement.

My stay at Dive Hotel was largely enjoyable, thanks to its charming atmosphere and excellent location near beautiful Coogee Beach. I loved the cozy vibe created by the friendly staff and their adorable pets. However, the hotel's age showed, especially in the bathrooms and some amenities, which left a bit to be desired. Overall, I felt at home but did notice some areas that need improvement.
