Top Wollongong City Beach Hotel Reviews

Boat Harbour Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Many reviews mentioned how clean the Boat Harbour Motel is and that's very true. Was greeted by Max upon arrival at the Reception desk - what a nice man. Beds were very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was awesome and we enjoyed our one night stay."

Adina Apartment Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"It was second time to stay in Adina. Always has lovely staff. Thank you!"

Five Islands Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean room, modern ensuite and good quality towels. Large television and tea and coffee available in the room. Enjoyed our overnight stay - but there was a slight cigarette smoke smell upon occasion which wasn't so good."

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at the hotel many times and it has always been good. Unfortunately this time around I had to get my sons out of the pool when one of them discovered a condom floating around."

Mantra Wollongong

8/10 Good

"Great location, staff were lovely, room itself was good and having a kitchen made it so much easier when staying for the full week. Will definitely keep it in mind again for my next stay."

Wollongong Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Would recommend to everybody a nice place to stay"

The Belmore Apartments Hotel

8/10 Good

"Reception not 24 hours but there are after hours key pick up and drop off. Parking was not a problem and after hours key pick was smooth. All appliances works except one hot tap in the bathroom was extremely loud when turning on. Upstairs is also steps only with no lift, have to be careful if there are issues with stairs when booking."

Coniston Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great spot to stay"

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."
