Hotel Steyne Manly: Location, Dining, Rooftop Bar and Hours

Most people who search for this name want three answers: where the hotel is, what it serves on site, and when it opens. The Naboo listing places it at 75 The Corso in Manly, opposite Manly Beach. This article answers those questions from listing pages, aggregator review summaries and a 2021 news report, and it flags where those sources disagree.

Hotel Steyne restaurant and menu

Dining areas and drinks

Aggregator listings name a Beach Bar and Bistro, a rooftop bar and a nightclub, and the Trivago listing adds a glass-enclosed Glasshouse restaurant. The venue names are consistent across those listings, although no venue hours appear in the sources reviewed.

Breakfast is the one dining service with a published price. Expedia lists a daily full breakfast from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM at AUD 25 per person. The Trip.com listing says breakfast is included in some rates, so the rate you book decides whether you pay separately.

Rooftop bar and ocean views

Hotel Steyne has completely new 4.5-star accommodation, bright new dining areas and Manly’s best rooftop bar with views over iconic Manly Beach.

That description comes from the hotel itself, so it states what the hotel claims rather than an independent assessment. Review summaries are less flattering about the same bars. The Kayak summary says many guests complained that noise from the bar and nightclub disrupted their sleep. Momondo, Trivago and Travelmyth raise noise as well, making noise the most repeated complaint across the sources reviewed.

Momondo’s extract also lists the rooftop bar running into early hours as a drawback, which is a single source’s observation.

What to watch: if sleep matters to you, ask for a room away from the bar and nightclub when you book, since noise is the complaint that recurs most often.

Hotel Steyne Manly location, history and photos

History and refurbishment

The hotel’s own description, as shown on the Naboo listing, dates its presence in Manly to 1859. The Age reported in March 2021 that Luchetti Krelle reworked the heritage-listed building, renovated the adjoining 1930s building and almost doubled the guest suites to 42. The Age describes the facade as face-brick with a turret and 1930s art deco character, and reports that a new canopy was reinstated based on 1930s photographs.

1. 1859: the hotel’s own description places it as a Manly fixture from this year.
2. March 2021: The Age reports the refurbishment by Luchetti Krelle and the increase to 42 guest suites.

Location and getting there

The property sits opposite Manly Beach and steps from the sand. Power Traveller and Trivago both put it at approximately 400 metres from Manly Wharf, the ferry hub for the area.

Photos and accommodation

No photo gallery was reviewed for this article, so room appearance is not described first-hand. Reservations.com lists free WiFi, a 43-inch Smart TV with Netflix, a minibar, an espresso maker, an in-room safe and daily housekeeping.

The room count is the most contested fact in the sources reviewed. The Age, Travelocity and Klook list 42 guestrooms, while Guest Reservations lists 27. Momondo’s extract cites 56 reviews saying the rooms were not clean enough.

Some rooms lack natural light. Certain room configurations feature no windows or natural ventilation, which can result in a stuffy environment.

Trivago listing

Only the Trivago listing describes windowless rooms among the sources reviewed. Star ratings also conflict: the hotel describes its accommodation as 4.5-star, Travelocity describes a 3.5-star beach hotel, and Kayak, Momondo and HotelsCombined show a 3-star classification.

The trade-off: the refurbishment and the beachfront location are the best-documented points, while noise, room condition and room count are where the sources part ways.

Steyne Hotel opening hours

Check-in starts at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM, according to HotelsCombined. These are the only check-in and check-out times in the sources reviewed that agree across listings.

No opening hours for the restaurant, bar, nightclub or reception appear in the sources reviewed. Hours can differ by venue within the property, so one time cannot be applied to every outlet.

The bottom line: The firm times in the sources are check-in and check-out, so venue hours need direct confirmation.
