Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

ibis Budget Campbelltown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent for the price. Blinds work but they are tatty. Plenty of food outlets nearby. Walking distance to train station. Bus stop 150m away."

Harp Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I'm from Sydney. I go to Wollongong for the NRL games, and Harp Hotel is where I like to stay. Cause it's close to the stadium, shops, cafes/restaurants. As I've been staying at this hotel multiple times, I like to request keeping the same room. The hotel was very kind, and they honored my request. The gentleman who checked me in for my room was awesome, and the nice lady in housekeeping was kind to turn on the air conditioner in my room for my earlier arrival, since I had an appointment later that day. So in the end, I'll definitely be coming back again to stay there. I like to make some suggestions: have each room fitted with a peeping tom, and each room should have a security chain at the door (especially for solo travelers like myself. Place some ear plugs in each room, and add an additional power point at the desk, so we can charge our electronic devices. Once you book for the room, the hotel will email everything you need to know about your stay. Please read it. Enjoy your stay."

Maclin Lodge Motel

8/10 Good

"Good size room with a fully equipped kitchen. The washer and dryer is a nice touch but maybe next time don’t leave towels in the washer and dishes in the dishwasher. Didn’t affect me but creates the impression cleaning is not a priority. Bed was firm, not to my liking but for others maybe ok. All in all a good overnight stay."
