Find Hotels in Wollongong, Australia

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 helpful, she checked with the kitchen and had the baking paper delivered to our room. wonderful hotel, great service, bargain price. will definitely stay there again.

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 options. My room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, I had good night sleep throughout my stay. The reception and dining staff were very friendly and nice. I would highly recommend this hotel for weekend getaway or short family holiday.

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 with cob webs in the ceiling cornices, later getting a wine glass out I could see it had not been cleaned in a long time, if I had booked earlier I would have got it for $89, I paid $118, for the room condition it was not great value. Wollongong is high priced for very average accommodation and I found it here, next time I will try somewhere else

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 sleep and shower. This hotel did that very satisfactorily & the room was not quite as cramped as one gets in modern budget hotels. It was also excellent value for money.

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 again. It was a particularly busy weekend due to numerous big events on in town and I was still able to get a good price when a lot of other places had majorly upped their rates. I would suggest this is a great place if you intend to stay for an amount of time as it is quite self contained. The staff were really helpful for first time visitors and well armed with maps of the area and suggested venues. In the less serious portion the room had photos of crop dusters in every room. If the hotel starts to get odd requests specifying "the crop dusting room" it was me. I know that I will be requesting it should I next find myself in the area. It will amuse those who met at my room before we went to our event for a long time to come. It may be juvenile however it enhanced the stay so what more can you ask for.

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, they turned the TV on loud, had loud conversations.

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 just as a number. All round just a pleasant experience

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 to an air-con issue - and had already set up the air-con in the new room (it was a hot day). Furthermore, he managed to find us a room for a 3rd night, which, being Australia Day, we had believed was fully booked pretty much everywhere. Excellent service. The rooms are smallish but fine - they are essentially Japanese business-hotel rooms (the Marketview was formerly an IBIS hotel), right down to the moulded showers. A 15-20 minute walk to City Beach and Wollongong Harbour, WIN Stadium - and a 5-10 minute walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. I recommend the Marketview - and commend the great staff!

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 alfresco area, direct access to the pool and sunning area. The food was brilliant and we loved the themed nights eg cocktail Friday’s and Mexican Saturday. We ate at the bistro and dumpling pop up bar and the food was excellent. The views are also spectacular and allow you easy access to the beach. Only small thing would be the need for a heated pool, but that’s just a suggestion and certainly not a complaint. Everything you need onsite and so wonderful to wake up in the AM, wal less than 50 metres & be able to purchase a real and decent coffee, at the bistro onsite. Also great to have a bar onsite too.... Thank you headlands
