Coniston Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was really friendly upon our arrival despite it being really late. We had booked connecting rooms and got locked out of one of them, but the staff was helpful to help us open the door. The rooms are pretty cozy and spacious, and bathrooms are pretty big. Easy too given there is onsite parking. Overall a very comfortable stay! "
