Top Wollongong City Beach Hotel Reviews

Coniston Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"From the warm and friendly welcome to the great food in the bistro and spacious comfortable rooms there was nothing I could fault with The Coniston Hotel. The locals are friendly, the specials are generous and the cold beer was great value. Close to the train station and ample parking on-site. A little more pricey than some others I’ve stayed at but worth every penny."
