Sandy Bottoms Guesthouse

This hotel did not have a light in the room except just one side of a bedside table. The room floor was dirty. The stairs are small and steep (no lift). The rooms have no airconditioning. Most importantly, the caretaker did not know the name of Trip.com and demanded payment though he had our booking.

I stayed at the Sandy Bottoms Beach Guesthouse for 2 nights a week for almost 12 months up until April 2024, whilst I was working in Manly (I live about 2 hours south). The bedroom(s) and bathrooms were always clean. There were always clean towels made available and more blankets and or fans if needed. I always felt safe and importantly Andrew the manager, who apart from being a true gentlemen, was always willing be to flexible to the needs of his guests - provided that they treated it as a "guest" house and acted accordingly. For a well priced guest house accommodation in Manly Beach NSW you can't go wrong with the Sandy Bottoms Guesthouse! Thanks Andrew for making my extended(!) stay at your guesthouse such a great experience.

The Manager was stuck up, thought that the world Revolved around himself. He knocked on our door like 11 times, room wasnt ready on arrival demanded Cash place was crawling with random people, Manager walked around like it was his back yard, Barefoot and everything TV wasnt working, Sheets werent washed, Fan was really bad, Window was broken and so was the mirror DO NOT STAY HERE! Staff are rude, Im never coming back again!

Filthy dirty, old hovel. The website made it look lovely but a nigh**are in reality. Checked in on a Friday night. The room was very dirty and thick dust on the ceiling fan, no air conditioning. Being asthmatic I couldn't turn the fan on and it was a very hot night. My room was right near the front door and you could hear the front door slam every time someone came in at all hours of the night. The fridge leaked and there were holes punched in the walls. The communal kitchen had dirty plates and mugs and old food in the kitchen sink. Apparently the cleaner had been on that morning and couldn't be recalled till Monday. The shared bathroom had cracked tiles and as no bath mats were supplied the floor was very wet after anybody showered. If you're looking for a youth hostel or backpackers this would suit you down to the ground but otherwise check in to a motel.

We had a wonderful time at Sandy Bottoms. We could see the ocean from our room. It was comfortable, clean & friendly and perfect for walking in & around Manly beach and city. The staff went out of their way to help us and make our stay enjoyable

I booked this house for a birthday weekend for my husband, we were joined by our son daughter in-law and 11 month old grandson. The house was exceptionally clean very welcoming with lots of extras ( tea coffee sugar biscuits milk butter bread and a lovely bottle of prosecco In the fridge). White crisp bed linen and white fluffy towel's It was definitely home from home. You can see the sea from the front door. A 1 minute walk to the beach. There was everything you could need and lots more. I want to tell everyone how amazing this house is but in a selfish way I don't as it will be booked up next time we want to visit Broadstairs. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your beautiful house.

We organised a one night stay ... and stayed perhaps 5 minutes. We were told we were going to stay in a nice room and it turned out to be a hovel -dim, dingy, mouldy and the size of a cabinet. The smell of mildew/mould (and other odours) was overpowering resulting in my partner having to leave the room and go outside. What made it worse was the window could not be opened - we were informed of this as we entered the room. We did not stay there the night - in fact we only stayed a few minutes and left because of the conditions. A total waste of money. Overpriced. awful accommodation. It should be removed from the list of accommodation available in the area.
