Forestville Vacations from $1,388

beautiful ocean views, clean rooms and superb location

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Ravesis and would definitely stay here again. I was staying on Level 2, and both the room and location were fantastic. Walk out the hotel door and you’re surrounded by great coffee shops and restaurants, then cross the main road and you’re right at Bondi Beach. The location really couldn’t be better. The room was modern, neat and a great size. The TV was a good size and you could easily cast to it, and the minibar was well stocked with plenty of snacks and drinks, which was a nice touch. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel is above a nightclub. I’ll admit, this was completely on me as I didn’t read that part carefully when booking. It is very clearly advertised. The bass from the music did cause some vibration in the room, but it wasn’t too bad and I was still able to sleep. Just something to consider if you’re a light sleeper. The staff throughout my stay and in the lead-up to arriving were amazing really friendly, helpful and kind. My only small criticism would be that the lift had a slightly unpleasant smell, and there were some stains in front of the room doors. Nothing too concerning and it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. Fantastic location, great room and excellent staff. If I’m back in Bondi, I’d definitely look up Hotel Ravesis again.

This short stay was fabulous. I was rapt to get a surprise upgrade, and the room and amenities were just perfect. Really peaceful and comfortable. Would definitely return.
