Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Quest Woolooware Bay

10/10 Excellent

"So very helpful, it was my first trip having to use a wheelchair because of illness. Staff was Great 😃 The ability to get around was easy, places to eat etc and now the cronulla sharks club is open it should be even better!"

Five Islands Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and comfybeds. The food at the bistro was great and good value. The downside was one of the men’s toilets and shower that was shared was blocked and traces of vomit in the sink and left over sandwiches in the shower. To be fair this is a problem with at least one of the guests; NOT the hotel"

Rydges Campbelltown

8/10 Good

"Lovely, modern hotel in a very convenient location when in transit between Melbourne and Sydney. Within the same complex is the Catholics Club which has great food, drinks and entertainment. The big let down here is the breakfast, the food quality and offering was very poor and not very enjoyable at all considering the $25/person price. Could not recommend the breakfast."
