Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"Great room with balcony and ocean view. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Plus we love a buffet breakfast! Will be back."

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."
