I loved the location, dining options, comfortable bed, view, complimentary items in the minibar, and the free drink and meal discount at the bistro downstairs. The only downside was the number of stairs to walk up in the accommodation.

Loved the convenience for a nearby function we were attending.
Receptionist was super friendly and informative. The room was comfortable and perfect for our short stay. Rooms are above the restaurant and bar and slightly noisy with people coming and going but very quiet once the venues closed for the night.

Loved being able to see the bay and the many things going on in the streets around the hotel. Really enjoyed the food at the hotel
The stairs to the rooms are pretty steep and difficult to drag your suitcase up them. Not good for those more elderly or disabled. Need a lift. Unfortunately the people in the 2 rooms on either side of us didn’t stop talking and their doors banging closed as they visited each other to after 4 in the morning so sleep very lacking.
Also the queen bed was too soft

Location was great, just across from the beach, but that is about it as far as positives. Sheets were clean, but room itself and the bathroom were very grotty.
We decided to use the complimentary drink voucher downstairs at the hotel, thinking that may be a better space than the room. It was filthy. Food scraps from tables over the floor, tables left uncleared with dirty dishes.
I really wish I could say something more positive, but the whole place felt like it needed a deep clean and a total overhaul . . I thought / hoped that maybe we caught them on a bad day, but after reading a few reviews (my fault, something I should have done beforehand) it appears not.
Sorry guys, but it was just yuck.

I immediately went down to reception. The guy came and vacuumed it himself.
Overall very tired and grubby rooms
The manager was informed and they offered 10% discount on food in their restaurant

Great area and we liked the easy access to the waterfront plus food options. BUT this property needs a whole lot of love to come up to higher standard. Especially a good spring clean, attention to aircon and some general updating overall for the accommodation. Alas, not a place we'll stay at again.

I called the day before about check in times I was hoping to grab the key and drop the bags of around 10am because we were heading into the GP and I wouldn’t be back till after 7. I was told the accomodation manager was gone for the day but shouldn’t be problem if I come in tomorrow morning or someone will be at check in till 11:30pm Friday night. I was there 10:30am no one was there to help, accomodation office was locked and the guy at Pokies (only counter with someone there!) was not interested. So I left my bags in my car remembering the woman on the phone said that someone will be there till 11:30pm. I arrive after the GP at 10:30 hoping it would be an easy process. The room is all paid for I would just get my keys and off to bed.
Not the case took almost an hour and half to verify that I had a booking even though I provided receipts, booking reference number, drivers license and credit card! How hard can it be?
Finally at almost midnight I got my keys went into room number 4. The windows don’t close there are no fly screens so I got mauled by mosquitoes while trying to sleep to hum of the outdoor airconditioning unit outside my window yay!

Sandringham has a lovely village atmosphere with beach walks, restaurants and wine bars nearby. The train station is also close by and an excellent way to visit the city. The accommodation is adequate and surprisingly quiet considering it is part of the hotel. We will be back.

Luckily duty manager came over & sorted out which was greatly appreciated, as he gave us our keys

Initially, the Receptionist was unable to find my booking & took some time to do so.
The 21 steps on the stairs are not suitable for some people as luggage has to be carried up by the guests.
My room was also at the end of a long corridor. It was a very hot afternoon when I arrived and the air conditioning didn't cool at all. It was a good temperature for overnight, but again, unbearably hot early the next morning.
The staff were all very pleasant, and one young lady asked if I was okay as I needed to pause as I got midway down the stairs.
The bedlinen was spotlessly clean & the pillows were very comfortable.

The few car parks are taken by employees.
Check-in was awkward.
The room was barely cleaned. Dust and crumbs found all around the room. Glasses with marks of lips, cups and spoon cleaned \"in a hurry\", rubbish bins not emptied, old towel left on the top shelf, doona with lots of stains (and that's only the visible part). The room didn't look vacuumed.
The worse was when I lift the toilet seat. The top of the bowl was dirty with some urine and a hair left.
When I asked the manager if the room had been cleaned, he came to see the room. He made me feel like I was picky but offered solutions. He cleaned the toilet BUT with no gloves and no product. His hands may have been contaminated but he did touch a few places in the room and took the cups and spoon with him to clean them and bring them back. This is disgusting practice. After that, I gave up trying to have a resolution has the manager or whoever he was doesn't even understand basic cleaning rules.

Other points: the hotel brochure was in poor state, the complimentary free rain shower as noted in the brochure wasn't there, the shower was leaking

Don't expect nice views of the sea, you will have a view of the restaurant rooftop with all its AC units.

They start vacuuming at 6am and at 3pm, the skinny corridor is full of laundry bags and you barely can go through with their trolley.

Not 1 of the few hotel employees I saw, apart from the manager, said hi or had a smile on their face.

This hotel is not Covid safe.

Nightcap needs to screen their reception/ manager

Check-in experience was sadly not as friendly nor hospitable as the manager was rather unwelcoming, like it's just a job, uncaring character. Although the facilities were pretty good and we like the location.
