Top Wollongong CBD Hotel Reviews

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"Beachfront. Walk or bus to city"

Surfside 22

10/10 Excellent

"Quick one night stop over on our way from Brissie to Melbourne. This was an absolute gem! Right in the heart of town with all the comforts you’d need. Plus an onsite sauna and plunge pool to relax after the big days drive. The staff and owners were very helpful and hospitable. Bonus coffee cart turned bar on site so you never had to leave! Would definitely stay again"

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."
