The Sebel Sydney Manly Beach 4 gwiazdki

Never had better service the staff especially Antwon was amazing I’ve never met anyone who is more happy to do anything he possibly can to help you or make your stay easier we are so happy with our entire stay thanks to him :) and such a great location we so happy we booked this hotel

We had 5 days in Manly and stayed for the second time at the Sebel. The weather was not that kind to us (mostly cool days & overcast) but a stay in an ocean view apartment is a treat in any weather. I can’t think of a better location to stay in Manly: a few steps from the patrolled beach, little traffic and an easy walk to lots of cafes and restaurants. The supermarket and organic grocer are also nearby. We enjoyed meals at Chica Bonita, Sunset Sabi, Pocket Pizza & Garfish. There are lots of great walks - up to coast to Freshwater beach, around to Shelly Beach and on to North Head and the harbour walk to Fairlight beach and beyond. The staff at the Sebel were all friendly and helpful. From previous experience we knew that if you want a toaster, you need to request one from reception. The apartment also lacks a coffee maker (quelle horreur) so I brought my aeropress and coffee from Melbourne! Teabags, milk and water are provided. It would be nice if they provided a bit of salt and pepper. Otherwise reasonably well-equiped with dishwasher, microwave (convection) and stovetop. Since our last visit they have upgraded the toiletries: nice shampoo, conditioner & body wash now provided in large (refillable) dispensers rather than little bottles. All in all, we hope to be back soon.

Room was in the South Tower which we knew hadn't been refurbished (yet) and it was ok. A few things lacking with servicing the room but nothing major and the hotel took ownership of the issues and sorted them out and upgraded us to the best room on the last night - which amazing views and what a room (702). Would definitely go back but would make sure we stayed in the North Tower. Hotel are missing a trick not having a breakfast deal with the restaurant that is there - we'd have jumped at the chance.

I was here for a week in November and overall was ok. There were some huge pluses which are: washing and drying machines, silence all around, beach, and food/beverage options. The customer service is a bit lame and the point of the rooms being very dated is clearly evident.

Stayed here for 2 nights and while the property is in a great location, I was disappointed with the room. It was huge and had everything I need except I felt it was really dated. The bathroom looked like one from a motel not a well recognised chain such a Sebel. I have stayed at other Sebel properties before and this was by far the worst. Alot of money has been spend on the entrance but rooms are lacking. The bed was 2 singles pushed together which the sheet didn't fit over so the bed was a shambles. And the pillows were the worst I have slept on. I think alot of attention needs to go more to the rooms (South Building) as it certainly needs a freshen up to be more comfortable for guests.
