Top University of Wollongong Hotel Reviews

Sage Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"Sage Hotel Wollongong is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at, largely because of the five-star customer service. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, friendly and always happy to help. The hotel itself is lovely. Our room was spacious and clean, with amazing views, and the beach is right next door. It’s also an easy walk to plenty of cafés and restaurants. The buffet breakfast offered was great. Good variety and range of options. Yummy breakfast! I’d definitely recommend Sage Hotel Wollongong. The customer service is second to none!"

Adina Apartment Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"great room, great amenities."

KULA Wollongong

8/10 Good

"Kula is a lovely property. The apartments are well presented, spacious and comfortable. The location is also great and walkable to the beach and mall. There were some issues with one of the lifts not working, however the team communicated quickly and clearly and it was rectified the next day. I would suggest the addition of stoppers on all of the doors, as they bang onto the wardrobe mirrors and could cause breakage. There is also one needed on the outside of the mirror bathroom cabinet. The balcony was great however unusable for most of the day as it was in full sun until the afternoon. Some shutters or shade to protect part of it would be great. The pool area was lovely and clean however a bit too cool for a swim. Overall a beautiful property and great value."

Argo Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Check in staff very welcoming, room was clean, parking was safe and secure."

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained and the location was fantastic. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, which made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable. We especially loved the beach views and being so close to everything. It was a great place for a little family getaway and we’d happily stay again. Highly recommend!"

Wollongong Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"The room was billed as a two bedroom apartment which is true. It had a fully fitted out kitchen, a small laundry, lounge, dining table and a single bathroom. It is a comfortable two bedroom apartment with secure parking underneath the building. Access is via a lift. It is located close to the centre of town and walking distance to the cafes and restaurants on the beach."

Solomon Inn Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"You can park right in front of your room. Convienient and close to everything. I like the fact that it has a microwave oven and toaster for cooking,biscuits,coffee and tea facilities. The price is affordable compared to other accomodation in Wollongong."
