#2 of 3 hotels in Coogee by Axel's take. Coogee is #9 of 11 places to stay in Sydney. The best hotels in Coogee, ranked · Where to stay in Sydney

Axel's take: 8.5/10

A strong beachside backpacker pick, provided you can handle heat, stairs and street noise. a simple, adults-only backpacker hostel opposite Coogee Beach, scored for what it is.

Mad Monkey Coogee Beach is a simple, adults-only backpacker hostel, not a conventional hotel. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want beach days and an easy way to meet people. Booking.com and Hostelworld guests consistently praise the location and helpful staff, while recent Tripadvisor reviews largely reinforce the welcoming atmosphere. The hostel says its rooms have been refurbished; several dorm types now include privacy curtains, reading lights and charging points.

The trade-offs are practical: there’s no air-conditioning, access involves stairs, and nearby nightlife can be audible despite the hostel’s quiet hours. Bathrooms draw occasional cleanliness and condition complaints, although the overall feedback remains positive. Private micro rooms still share bathrooms and have internal windows, so don’t mistake them for hotel rooms. We’d skip it for a quiet, climate-controlled stay; for sociable beach-focused backpackers, it delivers well.

  • Best for: solo backpackers looking to meet people; beach lovers on a budget; friends comfortable with shared facilities

  • Watch out for: fans rather than air-conditioning; street noise and stair-only access; private micro rooms have shared bathrooms

  • Location: Directly opposite Coogee Beach, near cafés, coastal walks and buses into central Sydney.

  • Rooms: Refurbished dorms and apartment-style options; micro doubles are small and internally windowed.

  • Cleanliness: Generally positive feedback, with occasional bathroom complaints rather than a consistent serious pattern.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are one of the most consistent strengths across review sites.

  • Amenities: Shared kitchen, Wi-Fi and regular social activities; no air-conditioning or elevator.

  • Fees and surprises: The hostel’s booking listing requires a security deposit and international passport; guests must be 18 or older.
