I had a good experience overall at The Alison. The location was a major plus, being close to Randwick racecourse and the light rail. My room was clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, there were some noise issues at night and my bathroom had some inconveniences that could be improved.

I found my room to be clean and tidy, although the bathroom was a bit cramped. I had a private bathroom, which was nice, but the shower was small and the hot water took a while to warm up. Also, I noticed the rooms were not very soundproof, as I could hear guests moving around at night.

I had a pleasant stay at The Alison in Randwick, with its charming boutique feel and a fantastic location near the racecourse and light rail. The room was clean and tidy, though it was a bit snug, especially with the shared bathroom arrangement. I encountered some noise during the night, which was a downside, but the helpful staff made my experience more enjoyable.

The hotel had essential facilities like housekeeping and a mini-bar, but I would have liked better bathroom access. The shared bathrooms were often busy during peak times.

I found the room very clean and tidy, but it was also quite small. The shared bathroom was clean, but I was awoken by noise from other guests during the night. I liked that there were toiletries provided, but the bathroom itself was cramped, and the shower area was tiny. 🤔

My stay was quite mixed. On one hand, the reception staff was friendly and helpful, making it a pleasant experience. However, the room design left much to be desired, particularly with just one shared bathroom for several rooms which impacted my sleep quality. The location was a highlight, being close to shops and racecourse.

My stay at The Alison Randwick was quite the mixed bag. While the location is fantastic, close to transport and local cafes, I faced some frustrating issues with the check-in process and shared bathroom situation. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the room was smaller than expected with some design quirks that were a bit inconvenient.
Rooms

The room was rather tiny, just big enough to walk around the bed. The hanging space was awkwardly positioned above the kettle, and the bathroom was small, making it difficult to move around. I did appreciate the cleanliness of the room, though.
