I had a mixed experience at The Blenheim. The location was excellent, especially for my visit to the Prince of Wales Hospital, but parking was a major headache due to ongoing roadworks. The room was comfortable, though I encountered some maintenance issues and noise from outside. Overall, it was a convenient stay but not without its challenges. 😊

I had a mixed experience during my stay. While the location was quite convenient for my needs, the overall condition of the room left much to be desired. The cleanliness was decent, but I faced several issues that made the stay uncomfortable.

Rooms

The room was small and faced Blenheim Street, which was quite noisy. I often found myself waking up because of the street noise. The bathroom had an automatic light which was very disruptive at night, and the shower could use some improvements too.

Service

The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially during a medical emergency. However, the check-in process could be smoother as there was no one at reception to assist directly.

Location

I appreciated the location's proximity to the Prince of Wales Hospital, as well as the availability of shops nearby. It made getting around quite easy, even with ongoing tram works.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast options were limited but there were some classic American dishes available up the road. It was a decent start to my day, especially since we had already paid for it.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offers a common kitchen and coin-operated laundry, which were nice amenities. However, the internet was unreliable and there were minor cleanliness issues that need attention.

I found The Blenheim to be a clean and modern hotel with a comfortable bed, but there were several downsides to my stay. The lack of clear signage made it hard to find, especially at night, and I faced some challenges with housekeeping and facilities. While the location was great, especially for anyone visiting the nearby hospitals, some room issues, like limited power outlets and the troublesome bathroom lighting, detracted from my overall experience.

The room I stayed in was tidy but rather cramped with inadequate power outlets. The lack of a table made it difficult to work comfortably. The bathroom light with its loud fan was disruptive, especially during the night.

The location is fantastic, especially if you need to visit the nearby hospitals. It's convenient and close to various eateries, but navigating roadworks made the entry a bit tricky.

My stay at The Blenheim was a mixed bag. The room was small yet clean, and the location was fantastic for accessing nearby shops and cafes. However, I encountered significant roadworks noises day and night that really disrupted my peace. Overall, it was an okay experience, but with a little more attention to details, it could be much better.

The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful, especially when I needed information about the area. However, I wasn't informed about the front office hours, which was frustrating for my early arrival.

Location

The location of The Blenheim is excellent. It's very close to Randwick shops and hospitals, making it convenient for food and appointments. Still, accessing the hotel was tricky due to ongoing roadwork, which was not communicated prior to my arrival.
