Best hotels & accommodations in Wollongong

We were visiting family in Wollongong and needed a hotel so picked the Chifley which we knew was newly built. Whilst not as central as the Novotel we were really pleased with the hotel - it was spotlessly clean and had great service. The breakfast and room service were good, very high standard of food and prompt service.

the hotel was a real gem in wollongong. i believe the hotel is recently opened, thus all amenities are close to brand new. service was great, on my second day me n boyfriend decided to stay in and make our own meal using the kitchen. however there was no foil or baking paper, called reception and spoke to the girl at the front desk. she was very enthusiastic and helpfu...

First time visiting Wollongong and chose to stay in Novotel Northbeach. The location is excellent! It is just the opposite of North Beach, walking distance to North Wollongong train station, and there is a bus stop just outside the main entrance. In terms of restaurants, there are not many of them nearby the hotel, might need to walk to the city centre to get more opti...

The room looked great on arrival, clean, modern and a great size with 2 double beds, putting my toiletries in the bathroom I accidently knocked aside the rooms bathroom amenities, to discover a left behind cotton bud (they don't supply), dust and hair, after that I noticed more, the tiled window sill above the shower had not been wiped, dust was on all surfaces along w...

I'm old enough to remember when the Normandie was one of the leading hotels in Wollongong. OK, hotels have moved on as has Wollongong. Still, with an old building and not the best situation in the north 'Gong, the current management are working hard to keep their standards up. I was visiting friends so did not want the hotel to "entertain" me; I just wanted a place to ...

So the serious part of this review is that the hotel was very nice. The room was more like a mini-apartment. It was massive! It had a kitchen and lounge - it was almost the same size as the apartment I live in. The staff were really friendly, the hotel was nice and quiet and relaxing and close to all the amenities needed. I would definitely recommend it and stay there ...

I think this is one of the only motels in the area so they can basically charge what they like, and they do. It's at least fifty dollars a night too expensive for what you get. My bathroom was right out of the seventies, a pink love nest. Paper thin walls and my neighbours decided that 4.45 am was a good time to get up. They had no concept of other people nearby, t...

Liked the place. Good base with enough facilities to be self catering for longer stays. Not so upmarket but excellent for the price.I travel to Wollongong for business a lot and normally stay a week. I have found my new home there. Have already booked for my next stays there. Manager is great. Could not do enough to help. Made you feel welcome as an individual not jus...

Our second stay in the Marketview, and we will absolutely be returning! The staff are Uni of Wollongong Hospitality students, and are obviously being taught well. They are friendly, smile and are more than willing to help (sadly becoming rarer in some of the service industry). Matt - the staff member who checked us in - changed our room within 5 minutes of check-in due...

This property is the older building attached to the main motel "Comfort Inn, Fairways". We were a little worried from older reviews - however it was perfectly good for us and great for the price (1 Queen Bed + 2 * singles as a bunk). Freshly painted walls/ceilings. Clean linen. Clean bathroom. Comfy mattress. The carpet was rather old and worn, but that didn't fuss us....

Amazing!!! Really enjoyed our selves. Arrived on a Thursday night after hours and greeted by the most friendly bar staff and very helpful manager. Room was gorgeous!!! Huge and with everything you need! We could have stayed a week, easily and with all the conforts of home. Including washer, dryer, dishwasher, oven, stove and HEATED towel rack!!! Loved the private alfre...

Traveler impressions of Wollongong
Good Beach town, not far from Sydney. Good Surf, lots of activities and shopping. Worth a visit for Australians and Overseas tourists.
Good place for explorers and beach lovers. the sceneary around the area is awesome and have many good beaches that are serene and quiet with awesome surf.
Wollongong is a beautiful coastal city. It has a wide variety of dining options to suit all tastes. It is located right on the beach, so is a perfect location to spend your summer days.
Wollongong had a lot to keep one occupied - Shopping, eating, sightseeing. I enjoyed the markets on the Friday morning, although only happened upon these so maybe a bit more advertisement for those not local.
A humble city, not much of skyscrapers. Near to Sydney the main city of Australia, as compared to Wollongong, its just a city with good facilities and great infrastructures, lower noise pollution.
Spend the day lazying away on the beach and then head to one of the many beach facing restaurants to enjoy lovely Australian fusion cuisine.
The Blowhole is value to have a look. However, people should bring along their jackets as the wind there is great.
city center has everything in walking distance and looks similar to town center in England..very attractive.
the area is surrounded by beaches , restaurants, cafes and shopping. there are many spas available, sports activities.
