Adina Apartment Hotel Bondi Beach

Die Lage: ausgezeichnet! Man ist in drei Minuten am Strand. — Die Apartments: völlig in Ordnung, gepflegt und sauber. — Der Zimmerservice: im Großen und Ganzen ok, zuverlässig, aber nicht akribisch. — Das fachlich geschulte Personal am Empfang: freundlich und begrenzt kompetent. — Fazit: ein guter Ort, um Bondi Beach zu erleben. Frühstück gibt’s nebenan im Bills.

I think the best way to review this place fairly is to bear in mind that it is not a boutique hotel. The well appointed lobby and pool may suggest otherwise, but at the end of the day it’s an affordable place to stay in Bondi/​Sydney — of which are few and far between!
Location wise, if Bondi is where you have your heart set, it’s perfect. Just a short stroll from the beach, nestled between the best of the local cafes and next door to the delicious Gelato Messina.
Everything is clean and modern aesthetic wise and the rooms are a good size. As far as actual facilities go, this is where things are a bit of a let down. The beds and pillows are horrendous. So uncomfortable. Thankfully I was here for a conference and quite tired by the end of the day, because I was so stiff and sore and can’t imagine having gotten any sleep if I hadn’t conked out. The staff were extremely unhelpful (to the point of being rude) when I tried to get new pillows, explaining that they were all as bad as the next. If you can’t stand a rock-​hard mattress, I would reconsider staying more than a night or two here.
The rooms feature a kitchenette with microwave. Not a lot of cooking facilities, but enough to have your own breakfast or small meals, with both an IGA and more gourmet grocer both within stones throw.
There is limited free wifi, but there may as well not be because the amount allocated will be maxed by the time you send your first email attachment. The wifi is a huge headache here and some staff did their best to help us, but it was a daily chore. Not ideal for business travellers but if you’re travelling for leisure, not such a big deal.
Top marks for location, price, and aesthetics. Lost marks for comfort, service, and wifi.

I wish we had more hotels like Adina back home in Auckland. Prime location, modern design and most importantly, affordable! This was my second stay at Adina and I’m happy to report that I am still a fan.
Firstly, it’s location in central Bondi is the best. There’s great cafes, restaurants and perhaps most importantly after a long flight, coffee within 5−10mins walk. Not too mention the sinfully delicious Gelato Messina is right next door. I may or may not have indulged every day on my 4-​day stay!
As for the rooms, they’re a decent size and come complete with a kitchenette, desk, couch and coffee table. They also have an iron and ironing board in the cupboard — big tick in my book! The shower strength is ok and the shampoo /​conditioner could do with a bit of work but these are only slight niggles.
My only major qualm is the small daily data allowance. Surely, internet should be free for guests or at least put a decent cap on it.
That being said, I would happily stay at the Adina again and would recommend it to others!

The Adina Apartment Hotel at Bondi is conveniently located in the heart of Bondi. So very close to the beach and surrounded by some pretty snazzy and cool cafes and restaurants. I was very happy to have had a couple of days in Bondi for a work conference.
The hotel lobby is really comfortable, spacious, warm and smells fresh with aromatherapy candles. There are a number of couches, chairs and cushions to keep you comfortable if you are waiting or need a space to chill out.
The staff at the Hotel are a little hit and miss though. Some were really helpful and happy to have a chat. Others seemed a little tired and reserved. Maybe I got them on a bad day?
The rooms are really lovely and well set out. The kitchen area offered a fridge, sink, microwave and ll the cutlery and crockery needed for a short visit. I wouldn’t say that this is the type of room that you would take for a long stay without cooking facilities.
The bed was firm and there was plenty of linen and blankets available. My only complaint would be the pillows. There was not much in them. I had to use two and that did not even seem like one pillow. Might be worth looking into that.
My other problem was the data allowance and connectivity for the internet. We had only been offered only 100mbs per day. Now if you work via the internet, we all know that you will use 100mb by the time you open your computer. They may like to look at increasing the allowance for those who are travelling for businesses. The alternative was a day’s worth of unlimited access was $ 10. I think that is a little steep considering the cost for the rooms.
However, on the plus side this apartment was very comfortable. It was quiet between the rooms and had a really lovely balcony.

Great place in a perfect location. Staff were more than accommodating. Shaded pool and hot tub, balcony off room, walk up from the beach — perfect. Will return, if I can, for sure. Would request room on back of the building if you like to sleep with the door open as it’s quite loud on Hall at.

Great location and it’s right next to the gelato store. Apartment is on the small side but is clean modern, pool and foyer looks good. Strange Radom pictures of people in rooms. Having to pay for wifi in this day and age sucks though.

California Beach-​Chic meets Colorado Ski Resort in the 1960s. Welcome to the foyer of Bondi’s newest accommodation, Adina Apartment Hotel. On the ever lively Hall Street you couldn’t be better positioned to enjoy Bondi and the beach lifestyle. You’re spoilt from the moment you walk into the calming foyer and as you walk into your self-​contained studio apartment. It’s beachy, breezy and sophisticated.
The studios are well equipped and feel far more roomy than their sq. meterage would indicate. There’s a beautiful Danish-​inspired looking desk for you to work from, comfortable lounges to put your feet up and read or fall to sleep soundly on the king-​size bed with Kate Tucker-​esque cushions. And with so many dining options a stones throw away you may not wish to take advantage of the kitchenette with microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster, but if like myself you seek routine when travelling, make use of the Harris Farm Markets next door to enjoy a healthy home-​made breakfast each morning.

There’s lots to love about this perfectly situated Bondi hotel. Let me count the ways it did me right during a recent work conference. (That’s right people, I conference at the beach.)
1. It’s the only acceptable hotel in Bondi Beach proper. Trust me, I’ve looked. This is it.
2. The fresh décor and simple amenities are perfectly suited for a beach-​y getaway.
3. Minus a beach view, the location truly couldn’t be better.
4. The conference room is not is some grimy basement, but instead easily accessed on the first floor with tons of natural light and big sliding glass doors.
5. The accommodating staff will basically give you anything you want (within reason) and are super easy to work with during the booking, check-​in and check-​out process.
6. The price is right.
There were a few hiccups with internet bills and connectivity, and a bit of a room leak problem that was quickly resolved with a generous upgrade, so considering that we were some of the hotel’s very first guests, it was definitely an experience worth recommending.

What a breath of fresh air! The Adina in Bondi has the balance between practical hotel facilities and beachy breezy atmosphere just right. The lobby is beautiful. Filled with comfortable couches, the latest magazines, candles and chilled music it’s the kind of place you would be happy to spend an hour or two working or waiting for your taxi to arrive.
The rooms are really well designed and large. My studio apartment was more than ample and had the weather been nicer I would have spent some serious time on the small balcony. Instead I spent time at the desk working and in the large comfy bed watching trashy TV before falling asleep.
Mad props to the mini bar that is stocked with iconic Aussie treats like Tim Tams, Caramello Koala’s and Arnott’s Shapes. The kitchen is basic in the studio. Beyond heating things in the microwave or popping bread in the toaster, you’re not really going to be able to use it for more than breakfast or snacks. But hey, with so many excellent dining options within walking distance, why would you want to cook anyway?

Combining ski chalet luxury with beach side ambiance this hotel is truly «Bondi.»
All it needs now is Jennifer Hawkins to walk through the overactive vanilla candle smelling lobby in her knee length Uggs and newest line of summer bikinis licking a Gelato Messina Campari & marmalade gelati from next door and the look would be complete.
The rooms were huge and very airy, but that might just be because I left the door to the balcony (yes balcony with a table for two) open all day and night long. The Greek Island, Swiss Country lodge feel extends down the crazy patterned bright hallways and into the white wash rooms with pops of colourful, new car smelling cushions and bedding.
The bed was huge, firm and very sleepable. The pillow cases were a tad «cheap» and scratchy in comparison to the sheets. Yes this sounds ridiculous but I’m very particular about my bedding.
The room was incredibly quiet and clean. I loved the furnishings and the bathing and ablutions equipment provided.
My only two gripes? The TV was slow and a bit painful to work and I was a bit disappointed we had to pay for wi-​fi.
Bondi has grown up and lost a little something from its surfy, backpacker, hemp smelling days but I’m happy to see this being replaced by the lux, hipster and still affordable options like Bondi Adina.

There’s nothing like a sexy new hotel. You don’t have to quash the thought that thousands of people have slept in the bed before you, because they haven’t yet.
The Adina has done a wonderful job of combining sleek and very current design, with a beach-​side vibe — not an easy task. The interior is almost exactly how I would decorate my house, if my boyfriend would let me use light pink as liberally as I’d like to!
The rooms were great, the perfect size, with great bathroom and kitchen facilities. The pool was a decent size too. I hear they have a gym, but I was too busy eating to make it there this trip.
Only con is; surely WiFi should be free for guests.

Imagine IKEA was a woman, a wonderful, clean, beautiful Scandinavian woman, that got really drunk one night and made sweet sweet lurve with, oh, let’s say the son of Conrad Hilton (does Connie have a son? Who knows. For the sake of this review let’s assume that he does and he’s got a mad-​on for well-​designed Nordic women). After the obligatory 9 month gestation period the hotel they would give birth to is the Adina Bondi.
The lobby — all wide, low-​slung couches and La Jolla-​style sandstone walls — feels like an apres ski lounge room, it’s all kinds of comfortable to hang out in and looks a treat.
The rooms are clean, well-​designed, well-​appointed, and have me wanting to look out the window and see a silver birch forest. There’s a pool, a small gym, comfy beds, neat kitchenette, awesome showers, giant setting-​moon bathroom mirrors, and I mentioned Gelato Messina just opened next door, right? Because it did. Salted caramel y’all.

Bondi’s needed a place like Adina for… ever?
Just blocks from the beach, this new hotel on Hall Street fills a major void in this seaside community. The studio apartment rooms come equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, cutlery, plates, glasses, cups and bowls. Clutch if you want to fix a little something in your room!
My stay so far in a second floor studio has been lovely — the bed is firm and covered with soft sheets, I’ve got a sofa to lounge on, a table to work at and plenty of room to move around. If not for the rain, I’d be hanging on my balcony too!
There’s a pool on the ground floor and a gym (though I’ve yet to check it out since my sneakers are still soaked from yesterday’s rain). The swish lobby is comfortable enough to work in too.
Walk outside and you’ll have every amenity you’re after, from organic grocery stores to used bookshops and places to buy board shorts and bikinis, I can’t think of a better place in the city to locate yourself.
I’ve finally found my home here in Sydney and it’s at Adina!
