Top Wollongong City Beach Hotel Reviews

Argo Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at Argo Apartments. The building is very new, and the rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you need for a comfortable visit. The location is excellent — right on Church Street and only a short walk to the Mall, Belmore Basin, and both North and City Beach. One of the standout features of Argo is how incredibly quiet the apartments are. I enjoyed a truly peaceful and restful stay, which made the experience even better. The staff were awesome — friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. I highly recommend Argo Apartments and would gladly stay here again."

"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.

A little more pricey than some others I’ve stayed at but worth every penny."
