If you are planning on staying in Manly, and can snag a reasonable rate at this hotel, do it. Beautiful building with a crazy range of bars and restaurants built in. Rooftop bar is pretty spectacular, and shows off the terrific location. The room was super clean and well designed, great bathroom, great view out to the beach. The staff was quite nice, smart and prepared. On longer trips I normally stick to hostels and budget hotels, but I got a pretty good rate that was only a bit more than my normal budget. Very happy that I chose the Steyne, and would definitely look to stay there again if I return to Manly.
